Absolut Vodka and director Danny Clinch worked with Hov on a documentary around the time of his 9-11 show last year, here’s the trailer….Meanwhile at the DC stop of the Blueprint 3 tour last night, some numbnut ran, no walked on stage like he was Bleek’s Bleek. But he was soon taken down by Jay-Z’s omniscient bodyguard Norm like John Hinckley Jr….see video below.

MTVNews’ Shaheem Reid caught this video clip (maybe with flipcam?) from the seats at the Blueprint 3 Madison Square Garden, NYC tour stop.

As you can see….pure pandemonium when Weezy (who probably thought he’d be in Rikers by now) stepped on that stage and joined Jeezy and Drake and Nicki Minaj to preform “I’m Goin’ In.”

I knew it! The one Hov/MSG concert that I can’t go to…and as luck has it, lady justice (and that courthouse smoke monster) hands Lil Wayne a backstage pass to join the show! Aggh! Lowkey tells me that Nicki Minaj joined Young Jeezy’s set and performed “Bedrock,” and then Lil Wayne and Drake ran out, mayhem ensued, and Weezy, Jeezy, and Drizzy murdered with “I’m Goin’ In.” Well, I can rest easy because there will be plenty of video footage soon. But for now…here’s some photos of the historic moment.

Lil Wayne in all black, Drake in waiter white.

Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj chill backstage at MSG.

After the show, Nicki tweeted: “Just got off stage wit wayne drizzy n jeezy. madison square garden. Epic. Thanks Hov. New YORK!!!! Stan da fuk up.” Trey Songz tweeted: “Just played The Garden with Jay-Z..my dreams were merely premonitions of my future. You can do it 2 #fuckwatchaheard.” Meanwhile, I heard that Team Hov was quite adamant about their all-black dress code backstage. Onstage, I totally get it. *___* (twitpics from DJScoobDoo, Can_I_Live827, Jiselyj, Daris23)

Mikey: Here’s HD footage of Jay Electronica performing his international banger “Exhibit C” at the Sugar Factory in Amsterdam. Props to Ms. Cheng for sending this footage our way.

Beanie Sigel went off on the usual, Jay-Z, and the unusual, T.I. (speaking on that neverending debate of Tip’s shortstay in the pen)….when he joined Freeway and Jake One at Tuesday’s Stimulus Package release show in Philadelphia. (video spotted on Nahright via Mike/HiphopDX)

Having just gotten home from tonite’s Stimulus Package party at the Highline Ballroom in NYC….I can unequivocally say…no shots were delivered in any direction by Joell Ortiz, Brother Ali (his dope beatboxing DJ, Snuggles), Freeway, Jake, Young Chris, or me (the humble host ; ).

Check the upcoming post from Mikey for coverage from tonite!

UPDATE:
I just have to say, in the above clip: the man-fan in the crowd is the best part of the whole thing! He’s the Sen Dogg of audience-members.
Its like he’s a hype man, but they put him in the seats.
Which is actually, a fantastic idea, no?

After the jump, DdotOmen sent over a longer clip of Beanie’s freestyle, which includes him throwing his former friend Dame Dash into the mix as well…

For all my fellow NY-area hip hop heads…The nice folks at Rhymesayers are celebrating the release of the Freeway x Jake One collabo album, The Stimulus Package, with a concert at the Highline Ballroom tonite. I’ll be hosting (even though it’s not listed on the flyer…so as not to disrupt the old boys club atmosphere? lol), and Brother Ali will also be performing, so definitely come join us.

In fact, Nahright and MissInfo.Tv have a couple tickets to give away….so hit me at missinfo@missinfo.tv with your full name/phone number, if you’d like to go. I’ll pick one winner at random (you gotta be local, obviously). (Thank you to Skye, Bird and Steinthal/ImmaculateInfatuation)

UPDATE: CONTEST CLOSED! CONGRATS TO THE WINNER, CARY! Hope to see the rest of y’all there : )

TMZ reports that the Vancouver concertgoer to met the fist-side of Kid Cudi’s fan-appreciation back in December, got a call out of the blue…

“Michael Sharpe — the man who claims Cudi’s fist connected with his face during a December show in Vancouver — tells TMZ the rapper called him up last weekend to finally apologize, and blamed the knuckle sandwich on the a-a-a-a-a-alcohol.

Sharpe said Cudi also offered to fly him out to New York for an all-expenses paid weekend — but so far, nothing is set in stone.”

That’s actually a nice gesture, but warranted since Sharpe didn’t press any charges against Cudi. But does that mean that these two would hang out together in NY? Hit some parties? Get Bonchon? That would be most awkward.

Mikey: Last night at Webster Hall in New York City, XXL Magazine held a Haiti relief concert featuring Styles P, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, and DJ Kay Slay. Hosted by Mike Epps, the small venue was packed to capacity with Hip-Hop heads out to support a great cause. Before the show ended, Juelz brought out his homie Lloyd Banks to perform their new record “Beamer, Benz, or Bentley”. (props Thisis50)

Drake performed at a body-deodorant sponsored party during Superbowl week. For more videos, check YouHeardThatNew (via AllThings-Fresh)

But he also announced his new solo concert dates for his new “Campus Consciousness Tour“…which sounds like a celibacy-advocacy campaign, but it will actually be Drake, with opening acts “K-OS, a Canadian rapper and singer/songwriter, and Francis & The Lights, a synth-pop band based in New York City.”
(Wait…the press release says its also called “The Away from Home Tour,” but that’s not actually an improvement.)

Full tour dates after the jump….
