“The Wild Cowboys still got the style boy…”

Foundation = severely overlooked Brand Nubian album.

Meka posted a clip of Black Thought joining J. Period during his live mixtape set at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Now we the official footage w/ (2)dope appearances from Black Thought, O.C., Brand Nubian, etc. Black Thought performing his rendition of Brooklyn (We Go Hard) above, the rest after the jump…

What was your favorite Grand Puba/Brand Nubian song (if you have one)? Mine is Puba’s “I Like It (I Wanna Be Where You Are).” Mikey Fresh also caught up with Puba, and that can be seen after the cut.

Grand Puba and Lord Jamar talk about their early days in the studio. From smoking weed to drinking 40s, working multiple jobs and staying up all night to make classic hip hop. And classic hip hop is what they (Brand Nubian) made. And incase you didn’t know, Puba is dropping a new album on June 23rd, entitled RetroActive. Featuring the likes of Sadat X, Lord Jamar, Q-Tip, Kid Capri, Large Pro and more.

In between a dunken session, 4th managed to get an interview out of Brand Nubian, who I feel should be in the next Hip Hop Honors show, not just Def ScJam.

Sadat X links up with his old rhyming buddies for the title track off his solo effort (which is in stores now)! Speaking of Brand Nubian, the bonus sees Sadat revisiting a classic.
