Top Five Music Videos

Yo Yaoo.. MoneyKat Friday Five once again.  This time we posted some of our favorite videos, some new, some old, all bringing visual justice to some classic tunes.  As always, we would love for you all to post some of your thoughts/youtube-embed-codes on videos we missed.

 

Omar:

 

5) Screems From Tha Old Plantation- King Kapisi

 

 

4) Roots Manuva- Witness (1 Hope)

 

 

3) Gimme Some More- Busta Rhymes

5) What’s So Different- Ginuwine

 

 

4) What They Do- The Roots

(For some strange reason, YouTube does not have the original version of this song with the subtitles, which completely defeats the purpose of this video.  Conspiracy? I think not.  Good thing the interwebs exist in our favor.)

Thoughts and Things

Hey there MoneyKats! This is the page where we post our random thoughts/ links/things we think are ‘money’. We are going to start with our first Friday Five, where we both post a top five on any subject. Out of respect for the legendary Tupac (it was his birthday yesterday), we are going to post our Top Five Tupac songs.  Before anybody gets offended, know that he has one of the greatest Hip Hop catalogs and it was agonising choosing only five.  We welcome anybody to post their personal top five.  R.I.P. to the greatest of all time.

MoneyKat Theme (prod. by Dazed)

MoneyKat superhero music! We put up a link to a 1962 cartoon song called “The Money Cat” and an open call to all producers to flip the sample. Dazed from Melbourne came up with this gem and we had rhyme over it.
