It's Been A Long Time, I Shouldn't Have Left You

Anytime I can bring out a video shot at The Apollo it's a great thing.  As a bonus, you get the 1991 performance of one of the great rap songs of the 80's.  Though never one of my favorite groups, I've got much respect for the skills of Eric B and Rakim.  With one of the best openings ever - "It's been a long time, I shouldn't have left you without a strong rhyme to step to.  Think of how many weak shows you slept through.  Time's up.  I'm sorry I kept you," here they are performing at The Apollo with "I Know You Got Soul"...
