Joe Claire hosting Rap City. Man those were the fucking dayz. I used to record that shit. Cant forget about Big Liz. Thats when BET was BET. Just classic shit.
@@RanceRob man im right there with you. You can keep the iPhone's, fake asses and the skinny jeans....ill take a pager and cassette tapes all day over that. Sports, movies, even women were all better back then.
I would love to sit down and just talk Hip Hop with Joe. I remember back in the day he came across corny to me next to my favorite rappers lmao 😂. Because they were so "Hard core" lol. But now that I'm grown, I can look back and respect this man's contribution and role in the culture.
I respect when Joe didn't classify Tupac and Big in a top five. We forget these dudes only live to be around 24 and 25 years old and people always want to speculate on what they would have become good or bad.
Pac only lived to 25 but has enough material for his top spot. Biggie just being connected to Pac keeps his name going outside of NY...if Biggie didn't die connected to Pac he would be looked at like Big Pun or Big L across the world.
I used to work at BET when I came back home from Atlanta. I met a lot of cool people. Back in the 90”s hip hop was cool and DC was on fire! So many hip hop legends came thru here! Good interview, it brought back a lot of good memories.
Joe. Mr. Clair. Thank you for bringing great smiles, interviews and insight of life! I felt chills go down my spine like it was still 1996! I agree they are above the countdown! #MisterWalter
Pac career did play out he had 7 albums came out while he was alive and more unreleased songs and albums after he died then made 5 movies and was writing scripts
Joe Clair was one of my RAs at Strathdale Manor my first year at Morgan State University. He was always a good dude. Great to see him still doing his thing. ✊🏽✊🏾
seems big was talking about doing sample from clearance carter ,strokin,but never got to do it,seems i remember that back then,video interview probably was cut off,i had it on vhs
As a 43 year old man born and raised in that era from Cali born and raised. We only looked at NY some type ofvwas not whole eastcoast. Philly, DC, Bmore wasn't no animosity
For all the Robtech Voltron Ninja Turtles Gen. We remember there was the Real Rap City on BET then later the Canadian Rap City with the Jamaican Dude with dreads.
Why Pierre don’t let the guests finish talking. I always bud in and it’s like he will try to answer their questions for them that he asked? The guest is giving a very good interview.
THATS A FAIR ASSESSMENT.....DON'T EVEN PUT EITHER OF THE TWO IN A CATEGORY. WE TRULY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME WITH THE BOTH OF THEM 2 EVEN KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE BLOOMED FROM IT.....ALTHOUGH, PAC PUT OUT WAY MORE MUSIC THAN, BIGGIE,...BOTH OF THEIR CAREERS WAS SHORT LIVED THEIR JUST SIMPLY IN THE LOOP NO MATTER WHAT..... THE WORLD WAS TRULY ROBBED !!!
😂 I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the video but every time I see this Nigga Pierre face I think of the night he had at Mickey D’s…..#spread #dem #bullets 🤣
Let's get this straight right now Rakim Allah is and Undisputed greatest of all time y'all can cut that bullshitt out.....................................
Pierre…. You allow people to talk and answer without interrupting. That makes for a GREAT INTERVIEWER. keep up the excellent work King 💪🏽💪🏽
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Yeah he does a good job interviewing.
BET need to make a BET Classic channel just for their old shows. Bring back old eps of Rap City, Video Soul, Teen Summit, etc
Fareal homie I been dun said dat
I agree with that BET Classic Channel that would be great 👍
That'll be dope.
💯
Good Idea
Oh snap, haven’t seen ol’ boy since the mid 90’s. Watched Rap City everyday after school.
yes sir
I can never get the picture of Joe and Biggie sitting outside in those chairs. Such an iconic moment RIP 🪦
Biggie saying he would never wish death on anyone
Joe aged very well. It's been like 30 YEARS since I've seen this man 😂 I'm trying to age just as gracefully.
One day at a time. Namaste 🙏🏾
DMV Legend. Salute to Joe Clair. One of my GOAT'S in the Rap Journalism Field especially with me being from the same area.

Joe Claire hosting Rap City. Man those were the fucking dayz. I used to record that shit. Cant forget about Big Liz. Thats when BET was BET. Just classic shit.

@@TheShadow84 damn you put that perfectly I’m going to use that in my argument when they say big better than pac when pac gave him style
@@cassandraclark5499 plus he only had 2 albums & 1 alive. Big is great but not on Pac level world-wide.
@@TheShadow84 facts

Youngsters Pay attention you gotta now where u at and move accordingly not out in someone hood sticking ya chest out cuz they will push it bck in
He was a brilliant host. What is he up 2 now?
Joe u looking crazy
It's Sad when You Get Killed for Leaving a Label in order for to Own Your Publishing Rights.......( 2pac n Big was Gonna leave their Labels)
Why Pierre don’t let the guests finish talking. I always bud in and it’s like he will try to answer their questions for them that he asked? The guest is giving a very good interview.
Who'd win in a rap comparison battle, Joe Clair, or big tigger 🤔?.
JC old school!
Cleezy
🆒
Being a journalist doesn't equate being in the middle lol
Joe Claire wasn't a journalist!
2pac had alot of body of work what the hell he talking about
Right but Joe doesn't want to compare him too older rappers who got the chance too fully grow and develop as artists
THATS A FAIR ASSESSMENT.....DON'T EVEN PUT EITHER OF THE TWO IN A CATEGORY. WE TRULY DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH TIME WITH THE BOTH OF THEM 2 EVEN KNOW WHAT WOULD'VE BLOOMED FROM IT.....ALTHOUGH, PAC PUT OUT WAY MORE MUSIC THAN, BIGGIE,...BOTH OF THEIR CAREERS WAS SHORT LIVED
THEIR JUST SIMPLY IN THE LOOP NO MATTER WHAT.....
THE WORLD WAS TRULY ROBBED !!!
Sad truth is Biggie loved Cali just like he loved 2Pac. And they both did him wrong...🙃
😂 I know this has absolutely nothing to do with the video but every time I see this Nigga Pierre face I think of the night he had at Mickey D’s…..#spread #dem #bullets 🤣
NEXT GEN BIGGIE WAS LUVED BY MILLIONS. N TRICKPAC HAD MILLIONS OF ENEMIES WHO DO YOU LIKE MORE
QUEENS N BKLYN IS CONNECTED TRU STREETS BIG FOREVER. 1
Let's get this straight right now Rakim Allah is and Undisputed greatest of all time y'all can cut that bullshitt out.....................................
