Rapmania: The Roots of Rap (1998)
Also Available on DVD
A host of rap legends gathered together to perform simultaneous concerts in New York at the Apollo and at L.A.'s The Palace to celebrate the roots of hip hop. Truly historic, this video is not to be missed by those who love hip hop. Old school performers who can be credited with inventing hip-hop (Afrika Bambaataa, Slick Rick, and Sugarhill Gang) perform side by side with some of those Mtv-era performers that they influenced (Run-DMC LL Cool J, Everlast, Ice-T, etc.).
