This shit’s special. During the final Rock The Bells stop at the PNC Bank Arts Center in New Jersey this weekend, Nas brought out Scarface for their first live performance of DJ Khaled’s “Hip Hop”. They fucked Hip Hop.
Alicia first single got off to a rocky start. But now, she’s back with Nicki Minaj on her new offering, “Girl On Fire (Inferno Version)”. There will be another rendition called “Blue Light”. Sounds like AK is still trying to find her groove. Girl On Fire arrives on November 27th. x
At the close of the Made In America Day Festival, Hov joined headliner Pearl Jam for a rendition of “99 Problems”. Keep on rocking in the free world, guys.
For some reason, Drake’s set wasn’t streamed online. Luckily, Miss Info‘s Mikey Fresh filmed highlights from his performance.
Odd Future was also on the bill yesterday at Hov’s Made In America concert. If you can keep up, here’s footage from their 40 minute set. yardie
Run-DMC reunited in Philly yesterday for day two of the Made In America Festival. Check out how the boys from Hollis kicked it old school style. R.I.P. Jam Master Jay! yardie
T.I. took a load off and kicked it with Young Jack Thriller over on Thisis50.com. He says he’d be willing to work with 50 Cent, which is good, considering Fif’s previous comments. He also spoke on Trouble Man and sequel to his book, Power & Beauty.
What in the name of Crystal Waters? If that went over your head, check out Azealia Banks’ new video. 1991 was a good year. This song? Not so much.
Gunplay’s anticipated mixtape will finally hit the net tomorrow. But until it does, here’s the last leak. Tip Drill’s verse is Nigerian hair tough.
DJ Scream extends Ca$h Out’s 15 minutes, in this new pugilistic video. More than likely, this will appear on Scream’s debut Long Live The Hustle dropping on November 20th.
This one still holds up as a smooth, R&B-leaning Drake cut — the vocal melody is what sticks with me most. It also got me thinking about how short music clips travel now: a single photo can become a whole dance moment. I recently tried Dime Dime Baby AI Video Generator, which turns one photo into a 15-second vertical dance video with the original music for TikTok and Reels (https://dime-dime-baby-ai.video/). Fun way to give an old favorite a new visual life.
