If you’re in the NYC area and not watching The Bridge, then stop sleepin right now! Ralph McDaniels still doing it Video Music Box style! I went to that free Biz Markie show over the summer. One of the best shows I’ve ever been to. It was billed as a Biz and Lovebug Starski performance but so many old school cats came out and rocked the mic. Plus, I got video for most of the sets too! Uncle Ralph, holla at me! These episodes aren’t the best quality but much props for upping this. Now, if only I could find the DVD box set somewhere… 12/22/07, 12/29/07, 1/5/08 (via)
update: The links expired so I bunched up all three episodes into one .rar file. Enjoy and keep it alive. link
