Tha Gecko Brothas Pay Tribute to NYC With Debut Video, "New York Minute"
Posted on May 30, 2008 1:00 PM
Wassup y'all--
If you know me in person or strictly from this blog, then you know that I am a fan of those Harlem emcees Tha Gecko Brothas and their lyricism. Their debut album, From Dusk Til Dawn, is one of my favorites that dropped this year, and this joint, "New York Minute" is DEFINITELY one of the best on the album. Not only does it BIG UP our wonderful, shaken-but-never-stirred NYC, it demonstrates why Priest Forever and John O. work well together as a duo. If you listen carefully, you'll notice John's ability to ride a beat, while Priest makes the beat compliment him without overpowering his words-- but the two never clash against each other.
Anyway, on to the video. I like it because it has a "you-are-there" appeal. My favorite shots of the video are of the lil' shorty doing the chin-ups on the bar (during Koran Carlos' verse) and the lyric-complimenting final shot of the 9/11 site, an image that still pulls heartstrings seven years later.

The black community needs to wake up! We need to come together and stand against the enemy. We need to focus on more of the positive aspects in life like school and how to get the youth off the streets. Hip hop needs to focus more on how to become more politically active and gain power in this country. Jim Crow is not dead but only his ghost lives w/in AmeriKKKa. Black people should put aside their differences and show more brotherly & sisterly love regardless if your from the hood or burbs. Where your from should not b a reason to hate your fellow brotha. So what if he looks different or talks different he is still your brotha no matter what!! Black people need to man up and quit w/ the crab in the barrel mentality. Stop being so sensitive and killing each other over small menial things like looking at someone wrong. BLACK POWER!!
i like this shit. this should on tv instead of all this other crap
