The Roots Perform ‘unDun’ songs with Bilal on Jimmy Fallon (Video)
December 7, 2011
There is no question in my mind that when it’s all said & “dun” the Legendary Roots crew will eventually end up in the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. Sooner than most artists you’d expect, but I know they still have many more albums left in them. For now they rocked a few selections from their new ‘unDun’ album with the help of Philly soul singer Bilal on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. More video under the hood…

Nas Rocks New York City Show & Brings Out AZ, Common, & Mos Def (Video)
October 21, 2011
Saw alot of people I follow on twitter who happen to be in NYC talk about this show when it was going down last night. It was only a matter of time before video surfaced of Nas ripping a show at NYC’s Webster Hall. I think this may have been a surprise performance because it’s not like Nas to rock over his own vocals at shows. Maybe the DJ just pulled up some quick Nas joints out of his serato. Nas also brought out a few special guests to the stage with him in Common, AZ, Mos Def, Maino. More video under the hood….

Public Enemy Performs Free Show in Soweto, South Africa (Video)
September 16, 2011
When I went to South Africa for the first time last year it was one of the most enjoyable & memorable experiences of my life. I took advantage to soak it all in from the cosmopolitan areas to the hoods of Soweto which is short for “Southwestern Townships”.Public Enemy took a journey near the cradle of civilization to show love to the people of Soweto about 30 miles or so outside of the capital of Johannesburg. Many of the people I met in South Africa told me that when American artists come to visit they never go & hang out with the people or visit Soweto. I’m not surprised to see Chuck D in this video let the people of Soweto know to hold those artists accountable when they come their country. Chuck D wasn’t lying when he mentioned on his twitter page that he thinks he left his heart in South Africa.

Chris Brown – 2011 MTV VMAs Performance (Video)
August 29, 2011
I don’t care what anybody says….Chris Brown KILLED his performance during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards. A ‘Protect Ya Neck’ Tribute To Wu-Tang Clan? Nirvana? Yeah he may have lip sync’d parts of his performance because there was a lot of dancing, but this was most definitely entertaining to watch. Plus I fux with that “Beautiful People” song too especially when travelling overseas….

Kanye West Gets Intimate With The Essence Music Festival Crowd (Video)
July 3, 2011
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)
June 26, 2011
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!

Talib Kweli On The Colbert Report (Video)
June 24, 2011
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…..

OkayPlayerTV: The Roots Picnic (Video)
June 20, 2011
Although there were plenty of videos that surfaced on the web focusing on Philly’s largest summer festival & the many performers that graced the stage, The Roots crew’s Okayplayer team dropped a high quality recap over the weekend. As a Philly native it’s amazing for me to see what the The Roots annual picnic on Festival Pier on Penn’s Landing has grown into. The Roots continue to make me proud to be from Philly not only for the music they present to the world, but in the many ways they reach back for Philly artists, Philly fans, the city, & the community at large. Check out the video recap….Okay Player?
