Straight from the archives of the pioneering DJ known as Double KK is a megablast of live Hip Hop at it's finest. Masta Ace, Kid Jazz, Melle Mel, Ice Cube & Yo-Yo show the competitive nature of Hip Hop as they bust rhymes for the 1990 New Music Seminar. This clip makes me thankful live venues still exist to host Hip Hop competitions, such as battle rap and DMC battles. 

 Below is a full hour-and-a-half recording of the seminar from '88.

This is some daily inspiration from 3 of the best female MCs to bless the mic, and the #1 Soul Brother Pete Rock holding it down on the boards with a sound to put your mind at ease. The positive vibes of "Keep On Pushin" by MC Lyte, Yo-Yo and Bahamadia exemplify a sign of the times in the 90's, when social empowerment and upliftment was a more common theme of hip hop songs. As a male hip hop listener I can relate to the messages give in this song, it makes me feel good to hear the voice of strong-minded females whether in hip hop music or throughout life.

I think this song is one of those overlooked gems of hip hop movie soundtracks, I was happy to just discover it today. It is a new addition the soundtrack of my path to success through life.
