Wale at La Poison Rouge, NYC 5/7/09 + ESPN’s First Take

Our own Wale makes a stop at NYC for his tour and is joined on stage with Young Chris, Joell Ortiz, and Kid Cudi. From the looks of this, it looked like one hell of a show. Props to Info for the footage.

Remember last week’s video of Dame Dash and his visible disappointment in finding out that Jay-Z agreed to a performance at the Mixtape Power Summit without notifying him? Well Choke No Joke’s not the only one who had cameras down there in 2003. Here’s the start of Roc Madness. Hov, drink in hand, doin’ “Dead Presidents” and “Can I Live.” – YN

“I Really Mean It”

Cam’ron above performing one of my favorites Dip Set joints, “I Really Mean It”. Every single time this particular song plays, I wild the fuck out wether it’s in my car or at a club. I am sure it was that exact feeling everybody had that was in the building at Highline Ballroom last night for the Cam concert held by Hot 97. From everybody tweeting the show live it sounded like it was a hot summer Monday night as Killa brought out some classics as well as his current joints off his upcoming album, Crime Pays. Major props to all of them and of course RapRadar for the shit load of footage from the show.

After spending most of my morning watching these, they make me miss them old Dip Set days even more. I guess it’s unfortunate to say that Dip Set is dead and long gone away. More footage of Killa performing “Get Em Girls”, “Hey Ma”, “Welcome to New York City”, “Dip Set Anthem”, “Oh Boy”, “Down & Out”, “The Roc (Just Fire)”, “Cookies & Apple Juice”, “Got It For Cheap”, and both “Talk To Em” and “Push It” with Vado after the jump.

B.o.B aka Bobby Ray “I’ll Be in the Sky” LIVE at Bamboozle Festival in NJ

I remember when I first heard this song I played it non-stop. Matter of fact, it is still the current song playing on my MySpace page. I hardly get on MySpace but when I do every blue moon one of the things I do is go to my page and blast this song. I have to see this song done live.

Video: Nas Performance at Hunter College 5/1/09

Vodpod videos no longer available.

From Nas’ performance at Hunter College last night. Man something about this footage here just had me stuck. It could be the Phil Collins joint played before Nas went in with “One Mic”. It could be how you can barely hear Nas as the crowd raps the entire song word for word. I love it. This is how a Hip Hop show should be.

At the 4 minute mark did he forget the words? Was he just in a zone? Or was he just thinking about Kelis?

More footage from his show that I came across after the jump.

Video: Jay-Z Live at the Apollo 1997
