Hey guys I think there’s been a bunch of recently discovered hip-hop lost media that most might not know about so I thought I’d put some here at if you know any others, please share:

Nas “Hate Me Now” music video with the puffy, crucifixion along side Nas. This is the infamous video that got puffy so mad that it was released that he assaulted Steve Stout (Nas’ manager) with a bottle.

Jay Z Summer jam performance. This performance actually contains two famous moments that were thought to not have been archived. The first is Jay bringing out Michael Jackson. and the second is the first performance of “Takeover” with Jay putting prodigies childhood dancing photos on the big screen.

This one I believe is actually really lost still. Meek Mill had teased a music video for his Drake diss song “Wanna Know” on his Instagram. The video was no longer than 10 seconds and was in black-and-white if I remember correctly. You can find a link to his Instagram but he deleted the video and I don’t think anybody took the time to download it and archive it.

Here’s the links if you wanna check these out:
