Mike Posner @ University of Dayton

How did I not even hear about this???? I gotta get back in the loop. Mike seems to have pretty good control over the crowd and this seems like an ill performance. Album is due out sometime in 2010.

Empire State of Mind (Live at the American Music Awards)

I believe the correct term is Better Late Than Never.

Cormega + AZ = Affirmative Action (Live)

It seems as if SOB's has the best concerts on the planet. There is always something fresh going on there. This was one of the best B-sides of the 90's!! Everyone brought heat and the beat was sick. Only problem was that 'fuzzy math' that Fox Boogie used at the end.

Drake Performs "Successful" at Jay-Z Concert in Toronto

Drake makes a surprise appearance at Jay's show in Toronto to the delight of the crowd. I would have loved to hear "Off That" with an added Drizzy verse, but this will do. It also looks like Drake is getting more comfortable on stage. Now if he could only translate that confidence to his videos I think everything will be good for the man.

KiD CuDi is a BET Rising Icon

D Mack presented the Wale Rising Icon video earlier this month and now Cudi gets his chance to shine. To keep it 100, I clown BET all the time for the Tom-Foolery that they are so good at showing, but I have to give it up to them for this series. Cudi and Wale are two of my favorite new artists and I'm glad they got the love.



Props to.......BET (I never thought I would say that)

Lupe Fiasco, Mickey Factz and the Cool Kids

This video shares random scenes and concert footage of the crew over in Japan. This is a concert I would pay my hard earned $$$ for. All of these cats know how to put on a show. Shout out to Lupe on the Glow in the Dark tour.

Spotted at Nahright.

Hov and Em - Renegade (Live)

"Eminem murdered you on your own shit" - NaS

Nas may have a tendency to stretch the truth every now and then, but he was right on this one. Jay spit fire, but Eminem had one of the top 50 verses ever recorded.

Lykke Li and The Roots - Little Bit (Live)

Artist Spotlight alum Lykke Li, performs "Little Bit" with the Legendary Roots Crew at the Diesel party. Dammit if this isn't what hip-hop is about I don't know what is! I'm still waiting for the follow-up to Youth Novels to drop.......

The GAME disses Jay-Z..............Of Course!

One good freestyle deserves.....another? Sprinkled in with some "F@%* Jay-Z" chants for good measure. I wonder how many of these French concertgoers chanting the blasphemy are going to buy Blueprint 3 and how many of them bought L.A.X.? Just curious.

Drake performing in Miami - Lil' Wayne's I AM MUSIC TOUR

It's sad, but I really think the only reason to go to a Weezy concert would be to hear Drake do a few guest verses. Oh and to see Nikki Minaj run around stage waiting for a boob to pop out! Yeah that's about it.
