15 Best Hip-Hop Quotes Prior to 1990

Apparently, choosing the best or one’s personal favorite hip-hop or rap quotes of all time is a touchy subject with self-proclaimed “real” hip-hop heads. If you haven’t read my first list of ten great music quotes, click here to check it out.

I promised I would create a second list and dig a bit deeper into the beginning of hip-hop’s roots to discover some more meaningful quotes for the self-proclaimed “real” hip-hop heads. Unfortunately, I cannot please everyone and accommodate to each individual’s opinion, but I can try .

Here are some excellent quotes taken from hip-hop’s past. Majority of these quotes don’t even need to be explained, so I’ll just quote them and move on! Hate ‘em, love ‘em, or quit bitchin’ and provide your own favorite music quotes in the comments section!

P.S.  – These quotes are not in order of best or worst, as this is not possible, so deal with it!

Dstructive Video Interview

As we all know, Dstructive is a lyrical mastermind and needs more notification within the underground hip-hop crowd. I was inclined to dig a little deeper into Dstructive’s thoughts and had to do a video interview with him about his new mixtape release: Donut Powered Time Machine. Check out the interview below and be sure to download Dstructive’s DPTM Part 1 mixtape here or read the mixtape review here.

Be sure to play the entire video if you want to listen to a preview track from the mixtape before downloading it, YOU KNOW!?

Mora - ESPN (Music Video)

Mora on the set of ESPN video shoot

While I believe he is still trying to find himself, Mora continues to create new material after many ups and downs with his music. In his latest track: ESPN, I had a full hand in the filming, directing, editing and producing of the music video for the track. I used my new directing alias – “Alexander Timrose” to release the video and various other videos.

Mora’s ESPN music video was my first full attempt to create, edit, direct and produce a music video. I filmed the entire video with a Canon 550d Rebel T2i using a Canon IS Ef24-105mm f/4L lens. I also did all my editing with Adobe Premiere Pro CS5, After Effects and Photoshop. The editing process is quite tedious, but I learned a lot and had some fun.

Take a gander at the video below and let me know what you think! Mora should have a lot of new material coming soon! Connect with Mora on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/MoraMusicGroup.
