The Live Squad are best remembered for their outstanding track Heartless and their early association with Tupac. Unfortunately the group were deemed 'too violent' by their label Tommy Boy Records and their LP never saw the light of day. Lead vocalist Stretch was later murdered in what is widely believed to be connected to the shooting of Tupac in NYC the year before.
But before all the problems and tragedy, they made this home movie to accompany their album. This was released officially, but it seems that many people missed it as it was never properly promoted. It's essentially the three videos for their early singles, loosely held together by some 'hood' acting (you know what I mean!). It's maybe not the greatest of these promo videos, but it's a classic bit of early 90's hip hop that's rarely seen, and a great introduction to the Live Squad's all too short catalogue of music.
