Well, that sucks. According to MTV, the annual event scheduled for Sunday is cancelled due to failure to obtain permits. From the beginning, the event was marred with controversy after it was reported that 50 wanted to perform at the festival. Eventually, Mayor Bloomberg and Fif agreed on scraping the concert. Recently, Q-Tip griped about the criticism the rapper recieved. Perhaps Bloomy will respond on Twitter as to why the city failed to grant a permit. Fuckers.

Miss Info was right, last night was utopian. In this final clip, Rae caps off the night off with “Heaven & Hell” but is abrupted with technical difficulties. But like a true showman, he returns with an encore performance of “Have Mercy” off OB4CL 2. Do yourself a favor and cop it September 8th.

Jigga man, tells the 1515 Boys that he’s taking his time when it comes to making his mark in Tinsletown. Sounds good to me. Just as long as you don’t forget where you come from.

Cover songs are tricky. Sometimes, they’re better than the original. Sometimes, they’re even worst. Luckily, Mimi does Foreigner’s classic justice. See if you can spot the sample used by a certain Roc Boy.
