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.

Good look. Black Moon was my shit when I was a youth.
Maaan I remember that video. Was that the only one they did for that album? Cos its the only one I remember. There must have been one for "How Many MCs" I spose.
Yeah, there was a video for that. There was one really memorable part the end, when the DJ is scratching while he has his legs up on the wall.
Keep the videos coming. BM put out one more album after Warzone right? Can't remember the name, but I never heard anything good about it.
I think that joint was called "Total Eclipse". I heard it was pretty good. I never peeped it. Warzone was terrible.
What other videos you got man?
Brother B
