So I had the pleasure of seeing Atmosphere oustide the TC at a show in Philadelphia in May on the “When God Give You Ugly Tour” with Brother Ali opening. At the end of the show they brought out Reef the Lost Cauze to freestyle over the “Smart Went Crazy” beat. Reef absolutely killed it and I’m happy I found this video, dropping tons of sweet Philly references (including Wawa!). Unfortunately the sound qualiy isn’t great, but it’s still enjoyable.

Posted in Media, Video with tags Big Daddy Kane, Prospect Park on Sunday, August 9, 2009 by Nolan LevensonGod I wish I was back in NY for this FREE show in Prospect Park. This video comes from 2dopeboyz. Big Daddy Kane did a show in Brooklyn last night. Here’s part of the set with Kane performing “Ain’t No Half Steppin'” off of his debut album of 1988 Long Live the Kane.
The Budden / Wu Beef continues
Posted in News, Video with tags Joe Budden, Raekwon, Wu-Tang Clan on Sunday, August 9, 2009 by Nolan LevensonI cannot believe we are still talking about this, but apparently some rappers’ egos are just to large. Just when we thought the Joe Budden / Wu Tang beef was subsiding, there was apparently a backstage altercation yesterday in Los Angeles. That’s just fanastic. I hate when professional musicians cannot act professional. This bout is childish to say the least. Rock the Bells is supposed to be an event where hip hop’s greats can come together to create a great day of music.
The video above is from Budden’s live stream after he was punched in the eye by someone in Ice Water, Raekwon’s posse. Afterwards, according to HipHopDX, police officials reportedly closed the backstage and the concert performances were cut short. Crooked I apparently went with his posse, Circle of Bosses, to find the assailants and had this to say, “Ain’t nobody gonna disrespect one of my dudes when we on the west coast.“
I really wish that this sort of stuff didn’t happen. It doesn’t benefit anyone.
