Stretching his arms over the crowd he introduces an artist baptized in Hip Hops own flow. With no further interruption Q-Tip strolls out onto the stage with the expected nonchalant demeanor and begins to perform like the vet he is. Performing hits from Midnight Marauders, The Low End Theory, and People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths of Rhythm the hundreds of people gathered to see Q-Tip were pleased to see that one of HIP HOP’s icons has still remained true to the game.

Marc Lamont Hill vs O'reilly

Very interesting debate.

I USUALLY DONT DO THIS BUT I FELT COMPELLED TO!!!!

Wednesday, July 1, 2009 by J.D. , under



I usually don't put up anything to "gossipy" or foolish but I felt this was somewhat relevant. Allegedly Chris Brown was scheduled to perform at the BET awards and do a tribute to Michael Jackson along with other artists. It's rumored that Jay-Z threatened to remove himself and other label mates if Brown was allowed to perform. Jay is blackballing Brown because of the recent incident with singer Rhianna, but let's not forget how Jay was caught on tape smacking some women in the face twice some years back. Hypocrite!! That is all

Please fast forward to the 2:55 mark, the rest of video is nonsense.
