CHRISTMAS VIDEOSHip-Hop and Christmas don’t seem to be a likely pairing, but rappers celebrate the day like everybody else. And, therefore, they create songs about the day as well. Here is a robust list of videos that you can rock out to for St. Nick.
Kanye West, CyHi da Prynce and Teyana Taylor – “Christmas In Harlem”
OutKast – Outkast Player’s Ball (The 1993 Version Was a Christmas Song)
Eazy-E – “Merry M#### F’n X-Mas”
A Juice Crew Christmas featuring Big Daddy Kane & Biz Markie
Dana Dane – “Dana Dane Is Coming To Town”
Derek B (Rest In Peace) – “Chillin’ With Santa”
Run DMC – “Christmas in Hollis”
Snoop Dogg – “Santa Claus Goes Straight To The Ghetto”
Treacherous Three – “Santa’s Rap”
(Note: Song starts at 1:35 in this video.)
Kurtis Blow – “X-Mas Rappin’”
De La Soul – “Millie Pulled a Pistol on Santa”
Run DMC – “Christmas Is”
(Note: This song was largely overlooked when it dropped in 1992, but still a notable joint by the Kings of Rock and the Jam Master.)
TLC – “Sleigh Ride”
(Shout out to Left Eye!)
Snoop Dogg and the p***y Cat Dolls – “Santa Baby”
Onyx – “Santa Baby” (clip)
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
