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 […]
That blog post perfectly captured the raw intensity of Joell Ortiz’s performance at Guz Sports Bar! His delivery of Battle Cry was absolutely electric, making the whole room feel like it was vibrating with pure, unfiltered energy. It reminded me of those high-stakes moments during a intense word guessing game with friends where the pressure is on and every single syllable counts. Seeing such a lyrical powerhouse perform in such an intimate, gritty setting was a legendary experience. If you weren't there, you truly missed out on some masterful storytelling. I'm still buzzing from that incredible night of hip-hop excellence!
