Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard (Complete)

The complete "Concrete Schoolyard" video, unedited vocals, complete with kazoo solo and Akil's "Blacktop Beat" freestyle at the end.
Every other version on YT had the vocals but no solo or ending freestyle, the solo but the vocals were edited, or the song but no video. So here's the whole video in all it's unedited glory.
(C) 1999 Jurassic Five under license to Decon/Interscope Records
Taken from the J5 EP 10th anniversary DVD "The Jurassic Period". Enjoy!

Remember when this used to be a critique of contemporary (of their time) hip hop? This came out in 99 and now people are still seeking that early 90s type of type hip hop. Guess the critique never really stops, however I’m glad hip hop keeps being the most developing genre of all in modern music. Some people might not like it but hip hop is ever changing and evolving at least.
