Yeah, yeah. All that 'right to bear arms' stuff I get. I also get that we need regulation and training for guns and gun ownership. True. And it takes special skill to shoot... like a gangsta! If only there was training to acquire this skill. Well, take a look at the 'training video' above and consider your wish granted.
1990 was my first first year in radio when I was doing a hip hop show called 'Strictly Hip Hop' in Pennsylvania. I had also started a cable access show of the same name later that year & it wasn't uncommon to receive dozens of new records & videos in the mail every week. Back then most of the videos we would receive from the record labels & indie promoters would arrive in the form of 3/4 inch tapes or on VHS. I need to get on my job like Tampa Bay area DJ Sandman who digitized one of Gangstarr's old video press kits from back in the day. I know I have this same video on VHS somewhere in storage. I'm literally kicking myself to get on it because I do need to take the time to digitize many of my old shows & interviews from the 90s. In the meantime check out the video of GURU & DJ Premier's video press kit. Rest in peace GURU! On another note....I'm definitely feeling how DJ Premier is rocking my favorite NFL team's baseball cap. #RAIDERNATION BABY!
"This was a VHS Promo sent out by Chrysalis Records at the time the legendary Hip Hop group, Gang Starr was getting ready to release their 2nd album, "Step In The Arena" (Released 1/15/91) This video tape has been sitting in a box in my studio for years..I've always wanted to share it with Hip Hop fans who may have never had a chance to see it. It includes rare footage of Dj Premier & Guru in the studio working on their album and also a rare interview." - DJ Sandman

Fighting crime has gotten easier for the boys in blue since the advancement of social media. Usually, gangs or organizations were busted due to phone taps or by applying pressure on the weakest link....
I follow writer Byron Crawford on twitter & when I saw him post this video up on the web of a dog rocking to the Geto Boys 1992 hip hop classic 'Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta' not only did I laugh at this joint but I replayed it several times over. Maybe this dog was a hip hop head in the 90s in his former life who just so happened to come back as a dog.
