Rare Footage: The Notorious B.I.G. Performing On Stage In London
March 19, 2013
About 18 years ago to this very day, March 19th, the Notorious B.I.G. rocked on stage live in London with Puff Daddy by his side. It was the launch party for radio personality Tim Westwood on London’s Radio 1 at the Palais that took place March 19th 1995. I love it when these never-seen-before videos are eventually digitized & later pop up on the web.

Live From London: A Conversation With 9th Wonder
December 17, 2012
“The Doctor’s Orders recently hosted an event with 9th Wonder and Rapsody at Plan B in Brixton, London. There was a screening for the film about 9th Wonder called ‘The Wonder Year’ followed with performances by Chris P Cuts, Spin Doc, 9th Wonder and Rapsody.
This is a short clip of the night + the brief interview I had with 9th Wonder on that night. It was great to finally meet him as he is one of my all time favorite hip hop producers as well as seeing Rapsody perform who in my opinion is one of the best MCs out there at the moment.”

Innovatively Breathtaking Graffiti Transforms European Cities (Video)
September 10, 2012
Part interactive installation, part urban performance art, “Video Painting Europe” documents a kind of glow-in-the-dark graffiti that leaves no trace. Art collective Sweatshoppe uses ingenious infrared tracking to smear digital video over concrete surfaces with paint rollers. In this Vimeo Award-winning video, they travel to European cities like Paris, Belgrade, London, and more to paste their “video collages” on different architectural structures — including the Berlin Wall.

Comedy: Butt Naked Man Interrupts London Olympics Torch Relay (Video)
July 11, 2012
A Butt Naked streaker sparked a police chase in the UK during the London Olympic Torch relay yesterday. The naked man appeared from the lines of people carrying a fake torch & proceeded to run in front of the Olympic flame runner with ‘Free Frank Ocean CDs’ ‘Free Tibet’ scrawled on his back before he was tackled by cops and covered in a blanket. It’s starting to become an very interesting Olympics in the UK indeed. **Music Please**

Phife Dawg Freestyles ‘Off The Top Of The Head’ On London’s KISS FM (Video)
November 30, 2011
While out on tour in the UK, the homies Phife Dawg, DJ Rasta Root, & Snackbox stopped by London’s KISS FM & Phife spit an off the top of the head freestyle. There’s a difference between a “Freestyle” & going “Off The Top” of the head. Unlike most emcees, Phife did both in this video…No written raps in blackberries or iphones necessary.
Phife Dawg Performs In London & Pays Tribute To Heavy D (Video)
November 22, 2011
My homies Phife Dawg, Snax, & DJ Rasta Root were out on tour in Europe & during Phife’s sold out show in the UK he mentioned a few things that raised quite a few eyebrows from fans who were in attendance that tweeted about the show. Phife mentions that when he was sick & in the hospital back in 1992 there were only two rap artists at the time that called him to see if he was well & one of those was Heavy D. Phife also mentions that Jive records failed to clear the Lou Reed sample on one of A Tribe Called Quest’s biggest hits “Can I Kick It” so therefore they have never seen any money from the song over the years.
Heavy D’s Last Interview In London (Video)
November 8, 2011
Heavy D’s last radio interview was conducted while he was out in the UK promoting his new album two weeks ago.

Shortly after returning back to the states from the UK, the Heavster left what would be one of his last tweets on this twitter page…

Mac Miller Surprised of Sold Out London Show & UK Fanbase (Video)
September 4, 2011
In every interview I watch of Mac Miller I gain more & more respect for the kid. I pay careful attention to interviews of new young hip hop artists with the intention to gain a better idea of where their head is at with the music, culture, & their futures. It’s hugely evident that Pittsburgh’s Mac Miller is a student of the game & is making the right moves in growing his fanbase. So much so that his show in London was soldout with fairly minimum radio play. I wish more young artists in the game paid attention to more that just writing rhymes & flossing, but in learning about the past greats to better their own career.
Ghostface Speaks On Upcoming Album, Wu-Tang Tattoos, Cee-Lo’s Success, & Adapting In The New Music Industry (Video)
June 16, 2011
One of my all-time favorite emcees was out on tour in London & spoke about his upcoming album, fans with Wu-Tang Clan tattoos, why artists like Cee-Lo from Goodie Mob are successful, & adjusting in today’s new music climate. Ghostface also dropped some jewels in this interview about how God may often hold you up with disappointment just to show you who’s really with you or not. Lebron James could really benefit from listening to that portion of Ghostface’s speech based on the amount of hate that brother was receiving. This was a great & entertaining interview largely because Ghostface did most, if not all, of the talking.

EPMD Performing Live In London (Video)
February 21, 2011
Looks like EPMD are back like they never left. Erick Sermon, Parrish Smith, & DJ Scratch rocked the UK crowd a few days ago. Maybe they should change their name to ‘EPME’…… ‘Erick & Parish Making Euros’ or ‘Erick & Parish Making Pounds’
