“If you touch stuff here, you’re going to get your ass kicked…” Ha! Such kind words Paul. Here’s the second half of our tour through Shady Records History Hall. On this go-around, PR sheds more light on the exhibits and gives an update on what’s to come from the label.

Shot during last weekend’s Brisk Bodega event, Shady Records co-founder Paul Rosenberg, reflects on Eminem’s formative years and the artifacts on display. Not bad for a couple of guys from Detroit. More footage to come.

Before Rakim and Nas commanded the stage at Paul’s #PR40 last night, EPMD warmed things up. In between the Green Eyed Bandit’s gripes, the brothers from Brentwood performed “You’re A Customer” amongst other hits. Earlier Craig G and Dane Dane did their one-two thang. Great camera work Dark Nyte.

Flanked by the Ed Koch Queensboro Bridge, hometown hero Nas hit the stage and performed a few classics for Paul Rosenberg’s #PR40. Peep Dark NYte‘s footage of “N.Y. State Of Mind” and “The World Is Yours”. EPMD up next.

As previously mentioned, Rakim was one of the surprise guests last night at Paul Rosenberg’s #PR40 Birthday Bash. In this clip, he performs “Eric B. Is President”, “Microphone Fiend”, and “Follow The Leader.”

Paul turned the big 4-0 last night and celebrated his born day with a private party in Queens. Some of the guests included NY Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia, Just Blaze, The Alchemist, Royce Da’ 5’9″, and Joell Ortiz. The bash also included a performance from EPMD and later, surprise guests Rakim and Nas. The Dark NYte was on the move and rounded up a few attendees to wish Bunyan a happy birthday. You can do the same here. Concert footage […]

With yesterday commemorating the fifth anniversary of Proof’s passing, Paul dusted off an unreleased track produced by the late J.Dilla. Here’s what PR had to say of the recording: As promised, here is another previously unreleased (as far as I know) track from Proof & Dilla, called “The Fizzo.” I heard about this track before I ever actually heard it from a very excited DJ Head back in ’94, right around the time that F.C. (Funky Cowboys) was created. In […]

All Photos: DeAndre DaCosta So about last night: I officially kissed the 30s goodbye at the Spotted Pig with my family and a select few friends and colleagues. Yup, the food and that open bar was something special (My aching dome piece!). Anyways, special thanks to Shirea Carroll a.k.a. Ms Invite Only, my lovely wife Danamo, photographer DeAndre DaCosta and young H.O. for breakin’ my 100% rapper free rule. I forgive ya! Ha!
