Here’s something to lighten the mood. In the clip, The Alchemist challenges a street performing to dance off. Those moves were good Al, but you’re no match for Def Jam’s Dancing Machine!

Somewhere in my hip-hop treasure trove, I have another variation of this image as a Hard Knock Life Vol. 2 promo poster. Taking a trip down memeory lane, Jon gives the skinny on the shoot and how Jigga’s royal blue Bentley crushed the block—and ego’s.
