Joell Ortiz brings out Fat Joe to perform Big Pun’s “Twinz/Deep Cover 98” (via Waterfall)
Jay Electronica performing “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace” (w/ intro) [via I.F.]
Mikey: So while I was being a SCHELP and sleeping my life away, all the homies were at the Highline enjoying what looks and sounds like was an incredible show by Joell Ortiz & Jay Electronica. Shouts to the fam over at Onsmash for putting this one together. (who’s that shadowy Asian figure twittering in the background?)
MissInfo: wait, there’s no way I’m on camera, I was on the side of the stage w/ flats on, barely able to see! But yes, Mikey lost : ( The show was amazing! Much family in the place, much great music. Joell Ortiz brought out Joe Budden, Fat Joe, Sean Paul (with mega-gelled mohawk), Styles P (love him), and Jim Jones (ditto). Wowza, yowza, yaowa! It was like a SummerJam of keep-it-real-rap, lol. Then Jay Electronica did his one-man monologue/performance in his gym-slides (LOL!); giving away his shades for a blunt, his watch for nothing, and then diving into the crowd for “Exhibit C.” (much love to Hof, Peter Rosenberg & Cipha Sounds (who hosted), Yandy, Angela and Deirdre) Check out these photos from Mel D. Cole/VillageSlum….
PS: If Summerjam has the infamous “screen,” then OS shows have the entitled close-minded boo-birds. Last time my boy OJ caught it, this time Big K.R.I.T. did. But later on, Jay Electronica said, “You New York crowds are the toughest…but you did [Krit] a favor. That’s the same reception y’all gave me a year ago at the Nokia, and look where I am now.” [UPDATE: WhatWeTalkinBout has footage of Krit’s reaction]

Nice performances, thanks for posting

These dudes are like the first sip of an ice-cold drink on a hot, humid summer day…refreshing! Or like when you walk into an air-conditioned place fresh out of the hot sun…soothing. I don’t care if they’re mainstream or underground or whatever, as long as they keep putting out music, I’ll find it and if it has a bar code, I’ll cop it!! Weezy can make words rhyme, Drake has cute punchlines, but I’ll take these guys over those guys anyday!!!

1 of the best shows I’ve been too in years!! Joell is really taking over NYC right now…
June 30th, 2010 at 8:02 am
with u on dat!!

Really hope joell makes it, but honestly I REALLY hope he can get into it with someone established. strictly on wax, but joell could give a lot of established dudes problems.
Sad commentary on hip hop these days, but the only things moving are beef or pop. given the choice, I prefer the former.

Damn, u ever get the feeling when u miss something and u know people are gonna be crowing about it the day after,smh. This sounded like it was gonna be a hot show, meanwhile my girlfriends dragged me to see Twilight, man i need more male friends or females that are into hip hop other than Jay Z,Eminem or Drake. lol
June 30th, 2010 at 8:48 am
wait! how was Twlight?? i love the books but hate the movies….but of course still see the movies as soon as they come out
June 30th, 2010 at 9:06 am
Im not the audience for these movies. lol If u like a girl fawning over one guy and stringing along another for 2 hrs then this movie continues that trend. The action is kind of cool near the end, although I dont get the new rules they make up for these vampires, dude hangs out in Fl in one scene, thats straight up sunshine.lol Funny note, when they start making out and look like theyre gonna have sex I straight up had True Blood’s neck twisting sex scene on my mind. lol

Agreed on the “Joell could give a lot…dudes problems.” but not on the get into it thought. Thanks to 50 & Game, you lose in a beef, even if you win. People would think Joell’s just another dude looking for a boost in his profile! There is another way for him to blow without the pop or beef, goes back to the oldest of all hip-hops arguements “who’s the nicest?” Before it was about who made the most money or sold the most records it was about who was the nicest! And Joell can make a strong case in that arguement, so he has to make that arguement. This is from a dude with more than one marketing book under his belt. “If the conversation isn’t in your favor, change the conversation!”

THIS SHOW WAS GREAT!!!!!
TICKETS TO GET IN…..25 BUCKS!!!! GETTIN DAP FROM JAY ELEC…. PRICELESS!!!!
BUT THE FACT THAT BIG KRIT AND CYHI DA PRINCE GOT BOOED IS AN EXAMPLE OF THE ARROGANCE OF NY HIPHOP HEADS. THOSE DUDES WERE ACTUALLY SPITTIN AND CATS SHOWED THEM NO LOVE. THIS IS THE REASON WHY NY HIPHOP IS IN THE STATE IT IS. WE ARE SO CLOSED MINDED. FOR SO LONG WE SHOWED ARISTS FROM OTHER REGIONS NO LOVE AND NOW WE GETTIN SHUT DOWN. IF JOELL WENT TO ATL AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO HIM, WE’D CALL THEM HATERS WHO KNEW NOTHING ABOUT REAL HIPHOP.
TALIB SAID IT IN ’98
“I ASKED IF YALL FEEL ME AND THE CROWD LEFT ME STRANDED. MY BLOOD PRESSURED BOILED AND ROSE/ THESE NEW YORK NIGGAZ ACTIN SPOILED AT SHOWS….”
SAME THING STILL HAPPENIN IN ’10
June 30th, 2010 at 10:36 pm
I don’t think it’s really that serious….I attend about 10-20 shows a year I think most of the time it’s just about “Opening Act X, get the fuck outta here so I can see who I paid to see”. Trust me I’ve booed many cats, after waiting for x amount of time standing up waiting & shit…you get impatient. But after I leave the show I’m still like “yo that cat that opened was spittin’ some shit” if it was actually true. Some cats deserve to get booed, lol.
