Captain nappy dropping subtle knowledge. I fucking love it. Respect

[@Workin2anEarlyGrave]

Fight breaks between rappers . Captain Nappy gets interviewed. -What started it? -What started it? Originally, (…..) in Africa, a group of guys came over there, stole us from our homeland, waste us in a toxic society, poisoned our brains and now we don’t know how to act.

De lo mejor que he visto de esos vhs que se podían conseguir

[@paulwall7188]

I remember seeing this as a kid on TNT damn memories

[@lyndeholmes4447]

remember going several times,and yes people were on the fences! Thanks

[@TheWilder30]

I remember this Documentary came out on TNT I think 2000 or 2001. I was mad young and I remember this was always on TNT. so I'm like next time it comes on I'm watching it. So it came back on but I had to go to my Aunts house. So I recorded it and watched it the next day. And the thing I remember was the fight. But the crazy thing about that was when the Jim Jones Rucker ass whopping first hit the Internet they put it on Cocaine City. This was like 2006 or 2007 but that's when certain Videos was hard to get because KZbin wasn't like it is now. Anyways ended up downloading it and when I watched It I couldn't believe it was the fight from TNT's Rucker Documentary "On hollowed Grounds" Had no idea who the guy getting beat was. Like I said I never heard of Jim Jones yet because he wasn't rapping but I did know Camron but I never paid attention to him because I was always focused on the guy getting done dirty. Jim Jones

@hitek9wittafulclip Word.. If people closed their eyes, they would hear Denzel (trash talkin' to his opponents, on a basketball court, like in Rucker). He was in a Spike Lee sports joint/film: "He Got Game," I think.

[@creydadj]

Before Fat Joe's Terror Squad, there was Diddy and Bad Boy. It's funny both teams had A Butta and Mousey

[@Barkleyz87]

Mousey is like the Phil Jackson of street ball. Championship coach

[@jorgetwo4279]

No disrespect but the difference between this and the EBC videos is that the TNT special is about Rucker Park and the EBC dvds are about the EBC. Street ball Champions is like Melle Mel with the Message...it put the idea in Corporate America's aka "culture vultures" mind for more urban fresh meat to drain. The founders and players may not have foresaw it but the whoring out of street basketball is still hurting grassroots...college and NBA basketball today. No more Avery Johnsons Joe Dumars Oakleys...Barkleys...Anthony Masons...Ben Wallaces...everybody concerned about self. Learning to be losers...with Sports Center highlights. One and Done in college and never learn how to post up! but kids from overseas are focused on fundamentals.
