The dawn of the Golden Age of Hip Hop, sad it had to end around the mid late 90s. Thanks for posting.

Change all the signs into Spanish, change the eateries to outlets for cheap Chinese shirts, close some of the theaters and arcades, and we have the LA of today.

At :20 you video taped my childhood favorite go-to Toy store! Loved that place, so crowded and narrow filled to the ceiling with toys, and it was a tall interior! Downtown by then had become a total mess, lots of junkie stores, dirty, terrible. I dont miss those days but I have a scant few favorite memories. Now its not too much different other than gentrifiers coming in thinking its a great place. Not for me.

Any idea what this was shot on? What was the iso/asa? Just curious how bright it is.

Certainly. It was shot on VHS-C tape running through a Zenith camcorder that I was running while my brother drove the car. Hope this helps!
