Here’s your opportunity to support (and enjoy) real Hip-Hop at its essence… rocking to the beat, off the top of the dome, in the ride! Rolling by Music Room during A3C (dope venue, dope event, maybe you saw us there if you were there like you should’ve been). All you, and about 30-40 friends you tell, gotta do is watch and click to vote. Let’s get the lady’s views up, shall we people?
Talib Kweli – “Palookas” feat. Sean Price (Live Performance Video)
Live from the Duck Down Music & Javotti Media CMJ Showcase in Brooklyn, NY. Talib Kweli and Sean Price performing “Palookas” off Kweli’s “Gutter Rainbows” LP. We posted on the LP here back when it first came out (follow the link below). Above video filmed and edited by Rome York.
Burlesque Dancer ‘Twerks’ To Beethoven’s 5th Symphony (Video)
In this video, a Burlesque dancer twerks to Beethoven’s “5th Symphony”…and it’s CLASSIC! Need we say more? NO! But think: What if Ludwig was alive to see this? Yeah, dude might have been deaf. But I bet he’d have found a way to holler seeing this! ***Otis Screams***
Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth (Trailer)
“I know many are wondering ‘what the hell is Mike Tyson gonna do up here on this stage tonight?’ And you know, frankly, I’m wondering the same thing.”
– Mike Tyson
If you spent the 90s spending money to watch Iron Mike Tyson perform live on pay TV (in the ring, one 90-second knockout at a time)… but didn’t get a chance to this century… we got you. Here’s the scoop: You can watch the former undisputed heavyweight boxing champion, main event on pay TV again soon; as his one-man stage show “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth” will broadcast on Home Box Office (HBO) Saturday, November 16, 2013, at 8PM EST.
Ohio State Marching Band – Michael Jackson Tribute (Video)
You need to watch the Ohio State Buckeye’s Marching Band’s Michael Jackson Tribute. The music was on par for a Division 1 school’s marching band, but the choreography sent this performance over the top. Guaranteed you’ll be done when they form the MJ silhouette… and make it moonwalk! Wowww!
Watch the whole thing though. The “Man In The Mirror” performance featuring the Louisiana State University gospel choir is touching.
BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge: “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)” With Justin Timberlake (Video)
Justin Timberlake covers the Jacksons’ “Shake Your Body (Down To The Ground)” in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. As Michael Jackson is the King of Pop, an icon like Justin – who’d be heir to that throne – should rock a Jackson hit whenever opportunity presents itself.
Comedy: Big Booty Bongos (Video) [NSFW]
Jorge Perez Gonzalez is my new hero! He is literally beating that azz like a drum! Knowing that musicians get to some level of status and get azz as a result, here’s a tongue in cheek video of a percussionist who “started from the bottom”… now it’s here. Watching this a couple more times, you know for research, I chuckled less and started asking questions: Is visualizing something like this where drummers came up with ‘hitting the skins’ when they play? Did that leak into the hood as vernacular? How in the hell did he ask these honeyz to be his ‘instruments’? What do they look like in the face? Was the post-performance lotion rubdown (for real, watch to the end) part of the ‘payment’?
Yeah, you MUST watch… just NOT at work (NSFW). Too much to explain if the boss walks by.
Kanye West Performs ‘Bound 2’ With Charlie Wilson on Later… with Jools Holland (Video)
So, you’ve probably seen Kanye West and Charlie Wilson performing “Bound 2” on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. We posted that on here about a couple of weeks ago. Now, the duo has taken their act across the big pond – from the US to the UK. Check them out as they do the joint on British host Jools Holland’s show (above).
DJ Battle: DJ Premier Vs Pete Rock (Video)
Challenge! Well, more like historical clash of sound at the livest party in Cambridge (Massachusetts, USA). Pete Rock and DJ Premier… getting started in their face-off right away spinning hits on one another’s behalf. The scene is classic. Click play and rock with the people at the party rocked by these masters.
Contestant Lillie McCloud Stuns ‘X-Factor’ Judges And Brings Kelly Rowland To Tears (Video)
TV talent shows aren’t our usual fare on here. They seem to thrive on celebrating everything BUT talent (including Simon’s scorn and scowl). Moreover, I cannot claim any expertise in contemporary gospel music AND it may even be a bit blasphemous to say this BUT… SHIIIIID! Lillie McCloud can GET IT! And she got chops, too?! Watch this clip floating around the Interwebs showing Lillie rock that CeCe Winans song “Allabaster Box.” Age ain’t nothing but a number. And if you got her number, you are a lucky sonuva…

Comedy: Justin Timberlake And Jimmy Fallon Run All The Touchdown Dance Moves (Video)
Can’t celebrate like this on the field nowadays, but there will be no flags thrown as Justin Timberlake and Jimmy Fallon (they’re always clowning) get it in doing a medley of touchdown dances (with their own twist) in this ‘Late Night’ skit. Complete with The Roots on backup.
Pete Rock x Camp Lo Chat With Heather B And Perform “Clean Getaway” For The ‘Sway in the Morning’ In-Studio Concert Series (Video)
Soul Brother #1. Pete Rock. Camp Lo. Geechi Suede. Sonny Cheeba. Heather B hosting the visiting team… and they perform “Clean Getaway” LIVE y’all. This is one of many from their FREE “80 Blocks From Tiffany’s Pt II” mixtape download. There’s some good talk on there, too. Beef rumor right from the start into respect talk (for Large Pro, DMC of Run-DMC, Kendrick Lamar for his “Control” verse)… then the performance… then after the performance, you get Pete Rock’s top 3 producers (BONUS)!
They were on Sirius with Tony Touch pushing the latest “80 Blocks” earlier… and we posted that (earlier). They dropped verbal jewels then, too!

Classic Clips: Rare Throwback Footage of DMX & Elephant Man Performing In Jamaica (Video)
DMX going in at Fully Loaded in Jamaica back in 1998. While filming for the movie “Belly” he dropped in to do a little something at the island’s annual party. Elephant Man (performing as part of Scare Dem Crew) was there, too. Classic stuff.
Toni Braxton Gives an ‘Assed Out’ Performance Following Her Major Wardrobe Malfunction (Video)
Pop quiz: Toni Braxton comes out for a performance in a super sexy slinky number looking extra hot… giving an extra hot performance… then you see a flash of that azz. Wow! Then, you see it again and again… What do you do? WHAT DO YOU DO???
Mannnn, you enjoy the show!
Now, wardrobe malfunction aside, it was a great show. You see that the New Jersey faithful got an eyeful of Toni from every beautiful side (whew) right from the start of this clip… but later, you see a gentleman fan offering his nice jacket to cover Toni’s way better than ‘nice’ posterior (after stage staff tried a ‘quick fix’). Just watch the whole thing…
Technology: Carbon Fiber Jet Wing Lets ‘Jetman’ Fly In Formation With a Boeing B-17 Bomber (Video)
DaVinci. The Wright Brothers. And now…‘Jetman’ Yves Rossy shows us that man was meant to fly… all it takes is a dream, the vision, relentless work at design, and awesome tech! Check out what, in effect, is one giant step closer to pure human flight. The tech is his Carbon Fiber Jet Wing; and it is AMAZING!
And if you think the view from the ground during one of Yves’ flights is impressive, think about what the guys flying the planes are witnessing (like ‘how is he doing that without a plane?’).
Check out the incredible footage above! Shout out to my cousin Joe (love you man!) for shooting me the Wired piece on this.

Now, things must kick into high gear. But this is fun for them… blessing the Toca Tuesday mic so they could get in on the Power Cypher.
Action Bronson Performs For A UK Retirement Home (Video)
“And now I’m gonna hand out Chocolates…” Hahahaaaa!!!!
Noisey UK, a VICE channel, arranged a surprise visit and PERFORMANCE for St. Hilda’s senior living facility…from Action Bronson! So, of course, he dropped that hot “Strictly 4 My Jeeps” on them.
Stop laughing. If you can… but several in the audience liked the beard. And (if you ask Bronson) he rocked that show! Forget Coachella… St. Hilda’s is the venue!
Statik Selektah Can Produce a Beat ‘Blindfolded’ (Video)
This episode of ‘Rhythm Roulette’ (on the Mass Appeal channel) features Bostonian-turned-Brooklynite producer Statik Selektah. The blindfold goes on, the fingers dig in the dusty crates, an Statik creates with what he Selekts; throwing in some scratching as the finishing move.
