I noticed the interviewer was the dude in the Dj Battle in Juice

[@JEStheUniversual]

No the person who battled Omar Epps in the movie Juice was the one and only DJ Richie Rich (3rd Bass)

I was 20 going on 21 in 1992, and I use to see CHI ALI in some of the Hiphop clubs back in the early 90s, He was actually to young to be allowed in there, lol., but his Celebrity helped him a lot in that 90s decade

Around our way we call that "love boat" smoking a Dipper of wett with weed it def gives you a different feeling from just straight up sherm on tobacco

Thank you!

Hi my Friend maybe you got old u-matic or betacam videos from the 90s era? I am a video collector and search for old rap/HipHop & r&b videos. I love your Channel and think maybe you got the videos too. Thanks

[@videoexplosionclassicmusic8892]

Thank you, my friend! I appreciate you! Back in the 1990s the record company would mail the videos on 3/4 inch tape. The Producer/Editor Haywood would edit the videos and interviews in Queens NY at QPTV. He may have the videos at his home. However, I am unable to reach him. A friend of mine had the idea of uploading the interviews to KZbin!

[@westsidetillidieog]

@@videoexplosionclassicmusic8892 thank you for the info, I found him last day on Instagram but his account is private, maybe some friend of mine has his number. Greetings to u 🤍

Thanks Frank White. 1991 to early 2000's. There is so much archives. Trying to share more soon.
