(update: oops, added the missing part 4)
This made my night! Big up to Whiteplainsdoggy aka Stan Ipcus for uploading this vintage footage of Jay-Z and Roc family at that seminal Sunday spot, The Tunnel. (spotted via Mr. X)
This extended clip includes:
Pt. 1: “Pain in da Ass Intro”, “It’s Hot”, “Jigga My Ni$$a”, and “So Ghetto”
Pt. 2 :”Can I Get A…”, “Money Ain’t a Thang”, “It’s Alright”, “What You Think of That”, and “Bleek Is”
Pt. 3: “What a Thug About”, “45 Freestyle”, “Who You Wit”, “Ain’t No Ni$$a”, “Imaginary Player”, and “Jigga What, Jigga Who”
Pt. 4:”Money, Cash, Hoes” and “Do It Again”
(summarized by Dre)
And coincidentally, I got another Tunnel-related exclusive from a certain controversial videographer that I’ll post tomorrow : )

A few things:
The Tunnel is one of the hottest clubs in New York…literally, second to that of the Wetlands during a Roots show…Sweatlands!
There are a crowd full of “Eva’s” rubbing Jay’s leg…Pay Eva royalties, she’s rubbed every leg at the Apollo.
Jay’s Security actually looks slow, Radio slow.
Jay might actually Pop Bottles on the White House lawn one day…seriously

This is a great thing to see on a Friday.When being “King of NY” still meant you hit the clubs and saw the people up close. Not just at MSG and Summer Jam. X, Jay, Wu Tang…..memories……
