Biohazard
i
think biohazard was my first real foray into the world of hardcore. of course, back then i couldnt really tell the difference between this and metal, i just knew that bands like these had way more tattoos and possessed a real affection for bandannas and basket-ball jerseys. i got a friend's brother to buy me "state of the world address" and jammed it pretty constantly. this was the same time period as machine head's "burn my eyes". when i heard an announcement for a tour involving biohazard/machine head/slayer i was obsessed with seeing the heroes of headbanger's ball live and in the flesh. when i tried to break the news to my folks of my aspirations they promptly told me to fucking forget it. these videos are all pretty hilarious looking back on it. the video for "5 blocks to the subway" was always kinda funny, because from what i can tell they were pretty much roaming around prospect heights and acting like it was the toughest place on earth. regardless, i still jam biohazard. "punishment" makes me want to commit genocide.

The videos for the songs off "Urban Discipline" are amazing in the fact that their artistry (in my opinion) actually exceeds the quality of the songs that they were made for. And I like the songs! "Punishment" is particularly great. Tons of cameos from NYHC all-stars. Other notes: Bobby Hambel is like a wild, caged animal. "Judgement Night" is the most ingenious combination of rock and hip hop that has ever (or will ever) be made.
Limp Bizkit
Any video tribute to the 90's wouldn't be complete without Limp Bizkit. Ok, Fred Durst is a douche, the guitar player wears a corset and cosmetic contact lenses, and the other two guys are dime-a-dozen, interchangeable rock rap dudes..."Rollin'" is still really fucking catchy. Plus the Durst man f'ed Britney, discovered Kenna, and starred in a video with Method Man (not to mention Pauly Shore). File under: Good Things Happening To Bad People. I think I'm going to go download all these songs and hide them on my ipod under Sepultura: Schizophrenia.
P.S. I'm not really sure if all these came out in the 90's.
