Jay-Z's Answer the Call Concert @ MSG

Jay-Z did a benefit concert for New York Police & Fire Widows’ & Children’s Fund tonight at Madison Square Garden. There are some surprise guest but I don't want to spoil it. Do yourself a favor and watch this concert. Its one of the most amazing I've ever seen. I'm proud of Jay and proud of hip hop.

DAYUM - Pitbull Knocks Dude out On stage

LOL @ him going right back into the song after he decks dude. Apparently the audience member through money in his face, disrespecting him. See for yourself:

Chrisette Michele featuring The Roots - Epiphany (Live)

The Roots back Ms. Michele on one of my favorite R%B joints of the year "Epiphany". They add a little Go-Go funk that's well appreciated in the track. Chrisette sings her ass off, as usual. This my girl's favorite artist right now so I had to do it. Peep Game:

Drake Live in Concert (45 Minutes)

I know a bunch of people wanted to see Drake in Concert but couldn't. Well here is video of his full concert in Toronto. Enjoy:

Chrisette Michelle's Album Epiphany is out now and its fantastic btdubs.

Yet another Reason why I Love Hip Hop.

My friend Vance posted this vid of Jay-z in concert on his facebook. He's doing a tribute to Biggie and Aaliyah (a staple of his concerts which includes Jam Master Jay and Tupac usually too) and the whole stadium knows the words to Biggie's classic "Juicy". This is why I love Hip Hop:

Joe Budden Goin In

Joe Budden x The Roots pt.1 Live @ The Jam 4/14 from Okayplayer on Vimeo.

I like this dude. pause. He kills it just about everytime, and he's pretty funny on joebuddentv (youtube it). anyway here he is with The Roots spittin bars. Its hard to get the crowd on your side with straight bars, but he manages just fine.
