Life Was Written

Just a Harlem New Yorker just trying to find himself in the madness we call life. My motto is "No idea is original nor is anything equivalent to the New York State of mind."

Thank God for the Hip-Hop blogs because I’m mad I missed this one, even though it might have been an online exclusive. One of all-time favorite Black Star songs, shit gives me goosebumps.

Reblog Notes

This video is old but it has the essence of what true hip-hop is. I love this video, not only because of all the names, but because of the camaraderie and respect they hold for one another. Easily one of the best after parties of all-time. Sucks that it was in London. G.O.O.D. Music after party. When Nas does his set, KiD CuDi embodies the enthusiasm that I would of had, if I were on stage or even at the venue.
