Wu is coming through, the outcome is critical
There is really no need to stress how amazing the show was. I've been to too many hiphop shows, and this one, by far, was the most intense, energetic, exciting and simply the "fun"est show yet and possibly ever. I guess this is equivalent of going to a Michael Jackson show. I went in planning on loosing my voice, and I succeeded. Whether it was "Fleeing with the lottery/Possibly they spotted me" or "Handcuffed in back of a bus/Forty of us" - it didnt matter, we all knew it and screamed it. RZA was missing, for whatever wack/cranky/surely insignificant as far as fans care little reason, but it didnt matter, it was a spectacle. Redman made a short appearance for the Da Rockwilder cut. Petty Pablo, of all people, was bouncin in the back. Shit, even Pdiddy was on the side of the stage, throwin up a big ass W. After pushing my way to the front I snapped over a hundred sloppy shots and videos. Shockingly 99% of them came out blurry - I had to choose between jumping up and down buggin out, or standing still and taking shots, hmmmm....... Here are the photos, for now, videos will come later.

A convo between Rhymefest and Lupe (Barack big up)
Now, I'm not sure if ya'll have Myspace accounts, but if you do, this is an interesting read. It steams from a comment that Lupe made in an interview with SOHH.com. I would post the whole text here but it quite alot, plus some of the comments made are interesting. So if you can, click over that way - if not, log in to your girls Myspace account and peep it from there (you know you spy on her, dont trip)

A Breath Of Fresh Air
I been pushing Jay Electronica on my cohorts for some time now, and once folks hear em, they get hooked. His unique style and lyrical mannerisms add some much needed inspiration and hope to the hip hop world. Whether he's flowing over looped Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Dilla, Madlib, Mr. Porter etc..., he continues to blow me away. By ignoring traditional song format (14 minute long acts, chorus optional) and exploring new content (UFO's), Jay offers some new life.
Check out his appearance on Gilles Peterson's show earlier this month
He's got plenty of music out there already, just google his name and you'll find about 20 tracks available. A commercial release is scheduled this year on Erykah Badu's Control FreaQ record label.
In the meantime, enjoy these gems:

Tony Starks To The Rescue
This one really saved the day for me. Just as I was fed up with all the remixes out there for Jay Z's album, DJ Chong Wizard came through with some nice material (and a dope cover too). Some of these match up perfectly. Check out Ghostface's verses over Success, kills it.
Download the whole album here.

Wu Tang 14 years later
1994 was the year Wu Tang touched me. That sounds "wrong", but its true. Fresh off the easter european boat and warmed up by serenades of Doggystyle, Bacdafucup and Very Necessary this was different. Thinking back to the day when I saw that life changing infomercial pushing Greatest Hip Hop Hits of '94, I remember it clearly. 10 wicked seconds of C.R.E.A.M. , Method dancing by a burning barrel - "Dolla Dolla bills yooo" - I'll never forget it. I had to have more.
14 years passed by and only NOW am I presented with a chance to see the time capsule who made my hip hop breakthrough possible. Rocking my original WuWear yellow on black "W" hoodie I will push my way up to the stage at Hammerstein this evening. And you better believe I will scream WU TANG WU TANG until I lose my voice all while throwin up a big ass W.

Rhymefest + Mark Ronson + Michael Jackson
Is it just me or is everyone a sucker for these projects where the focus all their samples are from a single artist. Well, except for that Jay-Z / Marvin Gaye American Gangster remix cd. That was a disappointment. I'm crossing my fingers for this one with Rhymefest, Mark Ronson, and a slew of Michael Jackson / Jackson 5 samples.
