Kanye West Gets Intimate With The Essence Music Festival Crowd (Video)
It seems like damn near all of Atlanta went to the Essence Music Festival in New Orleans. A number of people I saw on twitter talked about Kanye West’s performance. Some people were dissing it, but after I watched this video it was clear to me that Kanye was just amongst family. If you’re touring all over the world you can’t get intimate with fans like this who don’t really know you. I guess that’s why Kanye also explained why he also doesn’t talk to the press anymore. Can’t knock the brother for trying to do something different by playing with the crowd who knows good black music & probably knows him best. Plus the Essence Music Festival organizers probably couldn’t afford Kanye’s million dollar performance fees & he may have wanted to participate in some capacity for his core audience.
Mos Def Goes Hard For Brooklyn (Video)
If you’re a fan of Mos Def you know he always goes hard for his native Brooklyn. He didn’t disappoint yesterday evening while performing at the Fort Greene Music Festival. In the video above he performs a freestyle for ‘Brooklyn We Go Hard’, but I’d the video cuts off right before ‘The Estatic’ which is one of my favorite Mos Def joints. I’m sure more video from yesterday’s show will surface eventually. Shouts to my homegirl Brandi for the heads up!
Cee-Lo Performs ‘Bright Lights, Bigger City’ Live On The Voice (Video)
I can’t front. I haven’t seen not one episode of this show The Voice in which Cee-Lo is a judge. I don’t really watch television that often anyway unless I just so happen to catch television on the web. Many people were talking about Cee-Lo’s performance on twitter where he stepped out from behind the desk as a judge on the show & gave a tutorial on how true performers entertain. Cee-Lo is rocking the Bishop Eddie Long toupee though…..Pause
Talib Kweli On The Colbert Report (Video)
Talib Kweli stopped by The Colbert Report to talk politics a little & then in the video after the jump he’s joined by Res onstage for a performance of ‘Cold Rain’ from his Gutter Rainbows album. I laughed out loud to Stephen Colbert’s comment about how Talib Kweli’s name itself will cause him to lose viewers! Hahaa! The live performance with songstress Res is after the jump…..

Classic Clips: Biggie Throws Water Bottle At Big Kap During Summer Jam Show In California (Video)
From Fader Magazine’s Icon Issue featuring Biggie:
“I’m throwing the records and it’s like, alright, cool we’re going through it. But it’s so hot the heat is actually warping the records. The records is melting! So the records are warping right before me and it’s just like woooommp. And Big looking at me. We had this thing like, every time you make a mistake on stage during the show, you get fined $100. So during the show, Big heard the first womp, and he was like “A hundred dollars!†The record is crumbling up right before my eyes. Then it’s getting bad and Cease is like, “Two hundred dollars!†And then Big, he just stopped everything and was like, “Yo! What the fuck is going on?!†I’m looking and my records look like a piece of bacon back there. Big is tight! He had a water bottle, he threw the water bottle at me, and just walks off the stage” – Big Kap

Big K.R.I.T. Performs ‘Players Ballad’ With Raheem DeVaughn In D.C. (Video)
This is one of my favorite songs from Big K.R.I.T.’s new ‘ReturnOf4eva’ album. I’ve been playing it for the last few weeks on the radio show too if y’all have been following. It was only right that if Big K.R.I.T. was in D.C. he’d bring out Raheem DeVaughn to join him onstage. I’ve been enjoying Raheem DeVaughn’s ‘Heemy Taught Me’ mixtape that just dropped too. Â They need to drop a hot video for this joint because these two ‘playas’ are winning right now with this song……
