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. Previously: “On To The Next One”

Can’t give you the “Renegade” performance I flip’d just yet but here’s Hov’s dolo one to hold you over. See if you can peep all the crowd cameos. Ha!

I only caught some of tonight’s interview with Killa Cam but I did catch his young protege doin’ his one-two thing over a classic Mobb Deep instrumental. You think YN’s slippin’? Huuuhhh! Cam speaks on Summer Jam Vado goes in

Just cause you’re the headiner doesn’t necessarily mean you have your live show together. Seriously, Gucci’s so laidback he almost put me to sleep. And Waka and his rowdy friends were a hot mess. Ah well, the crowd loved every minute of it. Bonus: Gucci intro in HQ.

In an attempt to not be upstaged in his hometown’s concert, Luda brought out a gang of surprise guests but none bigger than Luke Sykwalker. Cover your eyes kids! UPDATE: DTP TV got this and then some. [vodpod id=Video.3872985&w=425&h=350&fv=]

I thought Plies career was put to pasture. Nah bruh bruh, the crowd couldn’t enough of dude. Witness one of the best intros I’ve ever seen above and a surprise appearance from Jeezy after the jump. I apologize Algernod.

It was an ugly one but the Lakers prevailed over the Celtics 83-79 in Game 7 of the NBA Finals. Kobe was off but Gasol and Ron-Ron weren’t. Score another one for Queens! Anyways, if you missed it, Twitter was on fire last night as it seemed the whole Hip Hop Nation was on there sharing their thoughts. Here’s a recap.

B.Dot wasn’t the only RR shooter in the house last night. While balancing my vodka tonic drink, I was able to capture Jermaine provin’ he didn’t need an R&B crooner to rock. At the 40/40 J.Cole on the screen. Good times.

In honor of 2Pac’s born day, Angie Mar aired portions of an interview she did with him in his final days. The candid talk which was volatile and controversial at times never aired in its entirety. Enjoy. ang

“Got me bringin’ guns to work, Gilbert Arenas” Finally! There is a God. Sounds pretty unfinished though. splash Sidebar: This used to ring off in the hood!

Men lie. Women lie. Hits don’t. The half-Jewish Toronto hip-hop star who got his start in the teen TV cult hit Degrassi: The Next Generation, goes to the head of the class this week on his Young Money/Cash Money/Universal Motown debut, Thank Me Later, with first-week sales in the 450-475k range, making it a lock for #1.

Here’s a YouTube tour of the music behind Em’s latest. You can thank me now. Oops, wrong album. Sidebar: Ivan got the files for you.

See some Drizzy shows go off without a hitch. Ha! Bonus: “I’m Goin’ In” [vodpod id=Video.3841086&w=425&h=350&fv=clip_id%3D12596449%26amp%3Bserver%3Dvimeo.com%26amp%3Bautoplay%3D0%26amp%3Bfullscreen%3D1%26amp%3Bmd5%3D0%26amp%3Bshow_portrait%3D0%26amp%3Bshow_title%3D0%26amp%3Bshow_byline%3D0%26amp%3Bcontext%3Duser%3A2249293%26amp%3Bcontext_id%3D%26amp%3Bforce_embed%3D0%26amp%3Bmultimoog%3D%26amp%3Bcolor%3D00ADEF%26amp%3Bforce_info%3Dundefined]

Just got home from the craziness at South Street Seaport where a free Drake show turned into a mini-riot before Drizzy could even arrive. While it’s always fun to blame everything on po-po, I really think they had no choice. After a hour and a half of kids standing on top of each other with no action or no music playin’, things were bound to go left. And they really did! Craziest moment: I think I saw someone toss a […]

Truth be told it was just a listening event but Drizzy couldn’t help gettin’ on the mic as last night’s private event at one of the Big Apple’s top sneaker spots. I missed capturing dude rock “Show Me A Good Time” for the first time, but in the above clip he runs through “Ignorant Shit”, “Forever”, and “Fancy”. After the jump, an Internets’ wet dream as Aubrey lays his “9 Am In Dallas” bars over J.Cole’s “Who Dat”. You can […]

In case you didn’t get the memo, Marshall’s in the video game business and last night at an Activision’s E3 event in LA, he performed the big record off Recovery. Yup, that’s Ri-Ri and Travis Barker on drums. Hopefully, the big guy comes through with better footage. But let this hold you over until then. nav UPDATE: Rap-Up got us. After the jump, more performances.

[vodpod id=Video.3836376&w=425&h=350&fv=] Bobby Ray’s finally back with a new visual. Don’t let the bright lights fool ya. hhnm

Last night, 40 posted the official mix of Weezy’s incarcerated bars paired with Thank Me Later‘s track 10. Album in stores today!

You can’t stop good music from reachin’ the general public. Let’s hope this joint actually makes the final cut of Sir Lucious Left Foot but in the meantime, get your groove on. Dopeness!

[vodpod id=Video.3762122&w=425&h=350&fv=] STS’s demand has grown since he dropped his Demand More 2 mixtape so it’s fine time for the first visual of the project to appear. Hey the chick in this vid has nice… kicks.
