Man, I wish there was footage of this. Take yourself to London, September 2006. With Coldplay’s Chris Martin on keys, Hov and Nasir perform, “Dead Presidents” and “The World Is Yours” at the Royal Albert Hall. So mean and vicious, man.

Earlier at the “Answer The Call” press conference, Hov finally put a face to the name of yours truly. Jesus, I was being facetious about being ether’d. You weak bastards ought to know, I breathe acid.

Here’s Christopher Reid of Kid-N-Play fame hawking suits for a California retailer. Now, there’s nothing better than rocking tailored duds. But, to hear Kid say “It’s not about that hip-hop house party stuff” and then suggest folks wear suits when their homeboy gets shot is just downright embarrassing, if not tacky. I’m sure Men’s Warehouse would frown at such a thing. Iron out your act, and get it together. Better yet, let your man Dave hook you up.

It’s what you all been waiting for, ain’t it? Not me. Ha!
Man, Joell Ortiz dropping “Battle Cry” live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that room was insane, totally beating any boring online hangout or digital trivia session like zoom games. From the second he hit the stage, his lyricism and raw delivery blew everyone away. If you weren't there, you seriously missed out on peak hip-hop culture. Absolute chills from start to finish!
