Eight fantastic old-school hip hop videos

Arvind writes from Sweden: "In response to the posting named "Booooooom! When loudpeakers catch fire" I'd like to present to you a music video from the enthusiast sub-genre of high school girl hip hop dealing with the joy of oversized car audio systems: 1) L'Trimm - Cars that go boom. Plenty of speakermounting action, flattops and even a little easter egg for the geeks at 1:32 - might that be a TR-505?" Thanks Arvind, here are a few more bleached out, pastel coloured old-school delights:
2) Schooly D: I don't like Rock'n'Roll
3) Digital Underground: The Humpty Dance
4) UTFO: Wanna Rock
5) Whodini: Rock you Again
6) Steinski & Mass Media: We'll be Right Back
7) Ultramagnetic MCs: Traveling At The Speed Of Thought
8) Rock Steady Crew: Uprock. Got more? Put them in the comments.

I pretty sure it's new but it still has that 80s vibe. Especially the visuals, they're hot.

Glad to see some New Jack Swing in here. Also the Dream Warriors. You guys aren't playing!

Check out Njs4ever.com -- we've got two events coming up where we're playing old school hip-hop and more so, New Jack Swing.

We've also got loads of old school hip-hop videos there, but ALSO don't forget to check http://www.disconnexions.com/ -- they aren't playing either!!! Trust.

Thanks!!!
