For my first post on Music Video of the Day, I gotta do Dead Presidents by Jay-Z. This was the time when quality music came from the world of rap. I chose this video because he is one of the first rappers that got me listening to rap, not to mention one of my favorites. There’s 2 versions to this song. The first version is this video and can be found on the original Reasonable Doubt (1993 and I still have the original tape - hehe), the second can be found when they re-released Reasonable Doubt (1996).
The chorus is from Nas - The World Is Yours. Check out the last part of the video where they’re playing Monopoly. Around the table, there’s Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G, AZ, just to name a few. Great video, great song, enjoy!
By the way, this is one of the first video that I can remember that clearly displays a luxury car (Lexus GS300/400) within the video.I hope you will enjoy this new category on my blog as much as I will be posting on it. Lots of great videos on the internet, specially the rare and old ones.
