SXSW: Crooked I Freestyle (Video)

SXSW: Jay Z AMEX Sync Show (Video)
March 15, 2012
I wasn’t impressed with Jay-Z’s performance but neither was I surprised at the rather lukewarm response from the audience. Jay-Z forgot the lyrics to two of his songs in this video & the audience evidently is not that familiar with his catalog. As a guy who’s traveled the world I’ve been saying for a while that Jay-Z is not as popular a rap artist by himself around the world as a performing artist compared to someone like Kanye, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, or Eminem. Here in the states some fans will argue with you, but apparently the same thing can be seen here too at SXSW amongst the so-called fans that aren’t strongly “urban”. (Shrugs) Nice hat.

SXSW: Sh*t Indie Rappers Say (Video)
March 15, 2012
Many artists are making their way to the SXSW festival in Austin Texas this week & I’m positive there will be more than enough instances of indie rappers doing the things parodied in the above video. Fans heading to SXSW this week may want to avoid the lameness of what happens in the above video & just go check out Buckshot, Statik Selektah & Iron Solomon performing at the Duck Down x Blacksmith showcase on Friday, March 16th at La Zona Rosa.

SXSW Performance: ScHoolboy Q – “There He Go” (Video)
March 15, 2012
I’m supposed to fly down to SXSW this weekend, but it looks like I’m missing many of the performances from many artists on the rise due to my prior commitments here in Atlanta this week but a few of our JAYFORCE.COM associated fam & interns are already en route. Check out some video I was just sent my way of ScHoolboy Q hitting the stage for the first time at SXSW this year performing his songs from his new album “Habits and Contradictions” alongside his TDE family Jay Rock and Ab Soul. I’m hearing the crowd went crazy over the L.A. based artist’s “There He GO” record & here is some video from that performance. The video is directed by Cam Kirk with the help from WM40A and WHOIZHE behind the camera….

“Unique Squared, along with DJ Booth.net, 2DopeBoyz, and Last Rights, sponsored a great event at SXSW 2011 at the Dizzy Rooster called, ‘The Rising’.

Black Milk Appears On ‘Last Call With Carson Daly’ (Video)
April 9, 2011
While I was preparing music for the radio show Friday night I was surprised to see Black Milk appear as a guest on the Carson Daly show for his SXSW segment. It was a definite good look for the Detroit emcee & producer to get some shine on national television.

Alchemist Speaks About Prodigy’s Lyrical Skills & Mobb Deep Reuniting (Video)
March 18, 2011
I agree with Alchemist in this interview while he was attending SXSW. I never thought Shyne was that sharp of an emcee BEFORE he went into the pen so there’s no way I could see Prodigy’s lyrical skills deteriorating to ‘Shyne-like’ levels.
