HIP HOP Before the gangsta stuff...
Positive vibe, zulu nation, breakdancing, funk, soul...
I'll post a little bit every day.

well played my padawan
In the second half of the show, watch Melle mel deliver the most powerful rap ever created.
words that still ring true to this day
words that still ring true to this day
A newspaper burns in the sand
And the headlines say 'Man Destroys Man'
Extra extra, read all the bad news
On the war for peace that everybody would lose
The rise and fall, the last great empire
The sound of the whole world caught on fire
The ruthless struggle, the desperate gamble
The game that left the whole world in shambles
The cheats, the lies, the alibies
And the foolish attempts to conquer the sky
Lost in space, and what is it worth?
Huh, the President just forgot about Earth
Spendin multi-billions and maybe even trillions
The cost of weapons ran in the zillions
There's gold in the street and there's diamond under feet
And the children in Africa don't even eat
Flies on their faces, they're livin like mice
And their houses even make the ghetto look nice
Huh, the water tastes funny, it's forever too sunny
And they work all month and don't make no money
A fight for power, a nuclear shower
A people shout out in the darkest hour
Sights unseen and voices unheard
And finally the bomb gets the last word
Christians killed Muslims and Germans killed Jews
And everybody's bodies are used and abused
Huh, minds are poisoned and souls are polluted
Superiority complex is deep rooted
Leeches and lices, and people got prices
Egomaniacs control the self-righteous
Nothin is sacred and nothin is pure
So the revelation of death is our cure
Dachau Auswich, Hiroshima
A Vietnam Lenigrad Iwogima
Okinawa, Korea, the Phillipines,
Devastation death against the killing machine
Peoples in terror, the leaders made a error
And now they can't even look in the mirror
Cause we gotta suffer while things get rougher
And that's the reason why we got to get tougher
So learn from the past and work for the future
And don't be a slave to no computer
Cause the children of Man inherit the land
And the future of the world is in your hands
So just throw your hands in the air
And wave em like you just don't care
And if you believe that you're the future
Scream it out and say oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Oh yeah (Oh yeah)
Rrrrhaa!

Not hip-hop, and early 90s, but.....
Old School:
And this rebooted Aerosmith's career:
indeed it was the time when old rock stars would associate with these street kids to get a piece of their huge popularity, it was before rap got ejected of the white mainstream
Talking about an early crossover, this is from 1981:
Great stuff here .. Fat boys too lol
This is not 80s but a dope one in my opinion:

Lockers/west coast dancing evolution
The Lockers
shabadoo crew Alfonso Quinones & Michael Chambers (on french TV)
bruno "pop n taco" falcon

more of the lockers/poppers
This is the beginning of the end, when it went out of the street and on the television, it could only lose its fresh and decay
(skip the first minute on this one)
Next time I'll post about how it all started

Nice! My Fav Main Source Jam:
Nice, maybe there should be a dedicated thread for the stylish era between the end of the 880s and the very early 90s, to post in stuff such as BBD, SOUL2SOUL, newjack, etc...

best battle scene from a movie...I preferred eastcoast all day
Great pioneers there, NYC breakers, rock steady crew (see RSC video in third post of the thread) these guys invented literally most of the breakdances moves done to this day. Mr Wave at 1:30, great style.
Now a bit of history,how HIP HOP and the Zulu Nation got organized and what it stood for originally, and why it's so sad that nowadays people just associate "hip hop" with gangsta shit
this is not the full doc, but it contains enough information

vocoder night for tonight
Tonight EURO HIP HOP
First a shout out to the early "german industrial" synth bands that were samped to death by early hip hop artists and literally created most of the hip hop sound, mostly kraftwerk

and this song that for some reason was considered a flagship hip hop song, when it has nothing to do with it
And a few european songs that tried to ride the early hip hop uptown art-gallery vibe, far from the bronx
That change the beat was sampled so many times !
Can't forget the Native Tongues posse ..
The original of this one is great too

more obscure euro rap
some more roots
giga bump
Ahh good old times.. Much better than the crap we hear nowadays only about cars/money/b"ches/autotune you name it.
