maybe i'm imagining things, but i could swear sometime 89-92ish, i saw a video by a small-time native tongues-esque hiphop act (with one primary rapper? maybe even a solo act?) that was shot in a park that had water and a bit of green. maybe it was even meridian hill park in DC? anyone know what this might be?

i think that much or all of the video featured the one guy sort of walking along sideways with his back to the water (fountain? narrow pool?), facing the camera

Sounds like "A Rollerskating Jam Called Saturdays" De La Soul and a buncha other guys.

nope and nope (but is that actually vinia mojica in the de la video?). it was definitely an urban park. perhaps sort of run down (?), but still elegant-looking. the group was like black sheep/poor righteous teachers-era and level of fame, i think. i'm pretty sure the main dude had sort of a positive/'soft' vibe/attitude?

the plateau in fairmount park in philly was used to great effect by dj jazzy jeff and the fresh prince. not run-down though. a lovely setting.
