Inspired by the last post, I’ve spent a large portion of my morning Youtrolling for old Toddy Tee videos, only to discover a treasure trove of pre-gangsta’ LA electro-rap clips posted up by German scene historians, West Coast Pioneers. 

The above Ice-T clip is taken from the 1983 documentary, Breakin’ and Enterin’, set at the legendary MacArthur Park club, Radiotron. Very necessary for anyone into the roots of Los Angeles hip-hop and rhinestones. Below the jump are lots more videos featuring the likes of World Class Wreckin’ Cru, Rodney O and Joe Cooley, N.W.A. et. al. There is also a Converse commercial featuring Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Kevin McHale, Bernard King and Mark Aguirre, with beats from the Egyptian Lover. You want to see it.

Stumble It!
