Black Moon: "Who Got Da Props (Music Video)"
From Enta Da Stage [Nervous, 1993]

I can't imagine many hip hop purists out there without Black Moon's 1993 debut Enta Da Stage in their crates. The trio comprised of Buckshot, 5 Ft. Accelerator, and DJ Evil D out of Brooklyn, New York released this single in '92 before dropping their highly regarded debut. Unfortunately, like so many hip hop groups, label woes and personality conflicts dismantled the trio before they could release a proper follow-up. They did manage to regroup a few years later and release the dissapointing Warzone in '99.

Anyways, I just came up on a grip of classic hip hop videos, "Who Got Da Props" being one of them and I can't imagine many of you have seen it before. Not a huge concept behind this one besides a lot of head bobbing and hand gesturing behind an urban backdrop, which seemed to be a popular formula back then. It still puts a smile on my face though.

I'll be posting more classic hip hop videos in the future so keep checking back.
