More memory lane with the Tipster as he debuts, “Oh My God” for Puffy and Biggie, runs into Method Man at a Manhattan deli, and drops Midnight Marauders a week before Snoop’s Doggystyle. Sit your high ass down and learn something.

As we continue on, Kamaal talks about droppin’ out of college, openin’ up for P.E. on the Fear of a Black Planet tour, and one of his favorite topics: N.W.A’s influence on the making of Tribe’s second album.

A J Train-ridin’, pause-tape makin’ 15-year-old talks about creating his debut album, meeting De La Soul, the formation of Native Tongues and the bidding war that brought Tribe to Jive. On the latter, you gotta learn to live with regrets. Ha!

A watermelon-eatin’ MC Serch. Red Alert’s record carrier, Baby Chris Lighty. The “Bridge Is Over” acetate. Who’s DJ Flamboyant? The origin of his group’s name. Yup, more crazy musings from The Abstract.

Bonus: Shut up and listen.

Props to DJ Ness who beat us all to the punch with his 1–2 combo. But like I did with my Kanye West SXSW footage, I like to roll my shit out chronologically so you can get the real feel of what it was like to be there. Plus, it helps me keep better track of these large ass video files. Ha!

Anyway, this is the first interesting segment of the sit down where Kamaal talks about his childhood, losing talent shows in high school and how he got down with the Jungle Brothers.

Had a wonderful time at last night’s Noisemakers event where Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg conducted a thorough interview with Q-Tip. Got a lot of great flip cam footage on the way. But first, there was a lil behind the scenes drama that needed to be documented. Let’s just say things got off to a bumpy start. Ha!

{mp4-flvremote width=”540″ height=”350″}http://facebook-video-9.vo.llnwd.net/video-ll-sf2p/v2131/159/32/1030863223109_31461.mp4{/mp4-flvremote}

“What is on there, Crisco?”

Not that they got all the Dip Set drama out the way, two old friends, Minya Oh and Cameron Giles candidly chop it up about fashion, personal style, hygiene, summersaulting stewardesses and Killa’s big booty-filled blackberry. Yup, this is pretty entertaining. Watch: It’ll make your bad day not so bad. Ha!

Previously: Part 3. Dos. Uno.

Very well done. And really funny. I heart all the weed heads who are gonna think this is real deal Holyfield. Ha!

Sidebar: Scooter “Super Wavvy” Braun respects YN. Fuck Boy status has been lifted. Clean slate!

Oh go to TheDailyKush.com. A lil sloppy on the watermark. Our bad.

Rap Radar proudly introduces the Worst Rapper of All Time, Dr. Magic. [Not to be confused with Mr. Magic]. Peep the S on his chest? At the 5:00 mark, watch him bust a move on all you sucker MCs. 

Bonus: Now, usually I don’t do this, but uh, here’s a lil’ something for all you Youtubers.

{mp4-flvremote width=”540″ height=”350″}http://facebook-video-0.vo.llnwd.net/video-ll-sf2p/v2685/85/82/1025289643773_42158.mp4{/mp4-flvremote}

Do you know what today is? It’s Jay and Beyonce’s anni-ver-sary. Yep, the Honeymoon is over. Traditionally, paper is the gift couples give each other after the first year; but we’re sure Bey and Jay already have enough of that. So to celebrate, YN dug in his bag of tricks and found rare footage of Shawn looking for love in all the wrong places.

“Ah man, Jay-Z please man. You on some ol’ love mission man. Com’on, man.”

True Story: April 4, must be a popular date in hip-hop. 14 years ago, 2Pac married girlfriend, Keisha Morris while locked up in Clinton Correctional.

Pretty soon, my site will be too big to get away with shit like this. But until then… Ha!

Deep in YN’s hip-hop treasure trove comes a candid interview with Nas at the height of his battle with [insert any rapper/ DJ here]. At the 4:22 mark, Nasir throws Funk Flex off the train.

“From my understanding he was mixing at gay clubs. Now he’s mixing on Hot 97.” Ouch.

After the jump, he talks about the conspiracist Hot 97 and his foiled Summer Jam plans. Smarten up, Nas.

{mp4-flvremote width=”540″ height=”350″}http://facebook-video-0.vo.llnwd.net/video-ll-sf2p/v2685/148/93/1022169165763_5554.mp4{/mp4-flvremote}

Yup, I possess a lot of things. Hey late night: Here’s Curtis! A throwback jersey-rockin’ 50 makes his network television debut on Kimmel along with an all-star cast: Al Michaels, The Rock, and Snoop Dogg. Six years later and still pretty funny.

Check for performances of “In Da Club” and “Wanksta” after the jump.

“One thing everybody knows is this: There’s not one person out there can sit up here and say they slapped Suge Knight or punked Suge Knight.”

Anybody remember MTV’s news show, The Wrap, with the homie Gideon Yago? Prolly not. But this will take you back. Oh how things done changed. Lots of Crooked I, support for Ja Rule, and as far as the statement above, um… Crystal, can you change you my cell #?
