Jay-Z “Can’t Knock The Hustle” (Letterman Taping)

Tuesday, June 22 2010 2:25 PM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Blog, Focus

So unfortunately you won’t be seeing “Renegade” or Em’s “Not Afraid” around these parts until Friday’s show airing but I got good news for you—Jay-Z didn’t only perform when the CBS cameras were on. Ever the showman, SC ran through some of his classic catalogue for the selected small group. Wish you were there, chumps. Ha. Seriously, here’s track uno from RD and I got two more clips on the way.

Red Bull EmSee Battle Competition (NYC)

Tuesday, June 22 2010 1:32 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Live Show

Before Eminem’s performance, Red Bull held their first round of battles. The competition was truncated from eight contestants to two with Quest Mcody taking on DNA. And man, was it a close one. Even after three rounds, judges Just Blaze, Alchmeist, and Craig G took it into double overtime. Once the smoke cleared, DNA walked away the champion. Next stop, San Francisco. Remember, the winner of each city competes in the finals in Detroit on August 26th. Check out what you missed after the jump.
