Remember last week’s video of Dame Dash and his visible disappointment in finding out that Jay-Z agreed to a performance at the Mixtape Power Summit without notifying him? Well Choke No Joke’s not the only one who had cameras down there in 2003. Here’s the start of Roc Madness. Hov, drink in hand, doin’ “Dead Presidents” and “Can I Live.”

Speakin’ of big guys gettin’ their groove on, peep Erick Sermon at the beginning of this performance. It almost makes up for the blatant lip-syncing. Here’s EPMD performing “Gold Digger” on The Party Machine With Nia Peeples. I think Uncle Ell saw this in real time.

Through the smokey clouds, have you ever seen a big guy this light on his feet? At the 4:28 mark, watch Ross bust a move. Wait, is that the cabbage patch?!
Related: The video he lied about, premieres on BET tonight at 7:30 EST.

While doing a press junket for Obsessed, B breaks down the sad state of female rap. Apparently, ain’t no Nicki Minaj in her iPod.
“Female MC’s, it’s really unfortunate because there aren’t any right now. I mean there are a few that are really great. But we need Lauryn Hill! I think you know it’s gonna happen and we just have to be patient. I’m sure right now whoever the next female MC is young and hungry and focusing. We just have to be patient, I guess.”
*Crystal’s gonna messenger off a Miss Rap Supreme DVD Box Set to Tribeca* Ha!

Artist Logan Walters put a spin on Wu-Tang album covers and repackaged them as Blue Note Record releases. Pretty fuckin’ creative. Check out out his first seven redesigns here.

Yo, catching Joell Ortiz dropping his track "Battle Cry" live at Guz Sports Bar was unreal! The energy in that place was completely wild, hitting harder than a heavy strike in a Korean MMA championship match. From the very first beat, the crowd was totally locked in, screaming every single lyric right back at him. It felt less like a standard bar gig and more like an intense arena showdown. If you ever get the chance to experience that vibe live, definitely don't miss it!
