Without a doubt, one of my FAV vids. Really made me realize how far Hip Hop has come and how connected I’ve been to this culture my whole life! If you love Hip Hop and you’re from the old school, this will have you smiling and singing along… if you’re a new school cat, SOAK THIS IN, cuz just like the intro says, “A Man Without History is a Tree Without Roots”.
“This video and mega mix is dedicated to all pioneers of Hip Hop Culture from the East Coast to the West Coast from 1967 – 1985. We thank you for everything you have created for us. We also thank you for showing the world that creativity, ingenuity, inspiration, practicality, and perseverance with limited resources can shock the world… quell racism…and eventually construct peace.” – Old School Scholar
