Crooked I Defends Joe Budden On Stage At Rock The Bells L.A.

Sunday, August 09 2009 1:32 AM EST | Posted by: YN | Posted in: Live Show

 

Pardon this horrible footage of Slaughterhouse closing out their Rock The Bells set with “The One” and skip to around the 3:40 mark. Hear the crazed Slaughterhouse chants and see Crooked I with a whole lot of backup address the drama of the day.

“Don’t believe everything you see on the Internet. Don’t nobody gonna disrespect one of my niggas on the muthafuckin’ West Coast.”

I’m sorry my G, but I think that already happened. 

Jay-Z "D.O.A."/"U Don't Know" (Live At Powerhouse Summit L.A.)

Before he brought Ms. Winfrey to his old stomping grounds, Young HO was the other main attraction in the West Coast last night. He headlined the big summer jam for L.A.’s biggest radio station, Power 106. You know the home of Big Boy. Big Boy! Yeah you’ve prolly seen this before but it’s just as good as you remember. Got a problem? Make a better catalogue!

At the Heineken Red Star Soul concert, Luva Luva ethers Ron Browz’s track. For some reason, I’ve never paid attention to this version. But then again, I never really paid attention to Ron Browz.
