Deep Crates 2
Classic beat. Very classic. If you don’t at least know what Dead Presidents is, you can’t be a real hip hop fan. This is the maker of that track, Ski Beatz, showing just how it is was done.

Beat Digging Documentary
If you have a free 30 minutes (or even if you don’t), check out this video. It’s gonna bring back feelings for you. It’s gonna make you want to hit up a record store and make some heat. Video with D.I.T.C, Beatminerz, and some bits from Mos Def and Common. Quality.
This video is old (from around 2002), and I’ve even had the DVD for quite a while, but I figured if you haven’t seen this yet you should. It shows how fun hip hop can be. This is all live, and they all go off on MPCs rocking out. It’s a beautiful thing.
