the unisphere

In the first video for his '94 hit single 'Flava in Ya Ear', Craig Mack kicked the flava in ya ear at Flushing Meadows Corona Park in Queens, home of the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair. 'Flava in Ya Ear' was the first release from Sean 'Puff Daddy' Combs' label Bad Boy Entertainment. The remix (with its own video shot on some boring sound stage) featured an early appearance by Notorious B.I.G. and a solo Busta Rhymes.

The theme of the 1964/1965 New York World's Fair was "Peace Through Understanding" represented by the iconic Unisphere, a 12-story high, stainless steel earth designed to celebrate the beginning of the space age.

Also seen in the video for A Tribe Called Quest's Award Tour.

Also seen in the liner notes of the Beastie Boys' Licensed to Ill (1986).
