Jay-Z and Eminem Home and Home Concert


Can i just tell you now that i can die peacefully now that i have seen Eminem in concert. i honestly am such a die hard fan, this man can do no wrong. i got the opportunity via Twitter to pick up 2 tickets to the first day of the concert, and i could no turn the offer down. i'm sure you have all read in every blog about all the cameos that were made that night from G-Unit and Dr. Dre to Kanye West and Chris Martin. i just wanted to share with you some of my favorite moments of the show. i had recently said before the concert that i was praying Em would do the song "Kill You" off of The Marshall Mathers LP. and what do ya know? its the 3rd song he performed! i swear i could have left the concert RIGHT THEN and been satisfied with the experience. he went on to bring out G-Unit and D12, but i think the highlight for me was when Dre came and and they did "Still D.R.E" and Eminem rapped Snoop's verse. i was surprised that towards the end of his set he did "Toy Soldier" because to be honest, i never saw that as one of his most popular songs. Moving along, Jay-Z NEVER dissapoints as this was the 2nd time ive seen him in concert. i was mostly looking forward to hearing him perform songs off Blueprint 3 just because i've recently fallen in love with that album (it took me some getting used to, but its a fuckin masterpiece). he performed "Already Home" which is probably one of my fave songs off the album, and he of course brought Swizz out for "On To The Next One." 'Ye came out and did monster with an appearance from Nicki Minaj. To be honest, i thought her VMA performance was TRASH, but she fuckin murdered her verse on Monster, i aint even gon lie. one of my highlights of Jay's performance was when he brought out Chris Martin and when he dropped "Viva la Vida" i fuckin lost it. Jay-Z always gives the people what they want, even if it does come out of left field (no pun intended considering it was at Yankee Stadium). He always closes his shows with his most popular songs like "Big Pimpin" and "Jigga What, Jigga Who" but i think my favorite closer is the fact that he did "Encore" to the Linkin Park "Numb" beat. That Jay and Linkin Park album is probably one of my fave mash-ups to date. All in all i would say that it was one of the best concerts i've EVER been to, and now i'm just afraid that any concert i go to after this, wont live up to this one.

It Takes Two

21 years ago TODAY Rob Base and DJ E-Z Rock's famous hit "It Takes Two" went gold. its amzing that even 21 years later, this is still a steady club banger. all i know is when this song comes on in the club, there is no stopping my old school moves (yes, i have plenty come see me if u want to battle) haha but na, enjoy this shit, hopefully its gonna be a banger for another 20 years. i wonder what my future kids would think about this jam. its gonna be a throwback by that time fo sho.

SISTERS WITH VOICES!

yo, these girls are always forgotten about when people talk about pioneering R&B. SWV has always been one of my all-time fave girl groups, and while they are most famously known for their single "Weak", i picked this more up-tempo throwback to share with you guys. Here's SWV with "You're The One"

I LOVE MICHAEL

if you guys don't know me, i'm a huge fan of Michael Jackson. so i think i'ma make this a weekly thing where i take you back to a time where music MOVED us. i dont care what anyone says, MJ's music stands the test of time. how many times have i listened to something like "Rock With You" and its like the first time every time. The Man, The Myth, The Legend. here is one of my favorites, "Who Is It."

LOVE LETTER 1.4!

WE ARE THE WORLD 2010

i guess from an outsider's perspective, you could say that we are doing a whole lot for Haiti. I just got the chance to watch this video and had to post it. all i know is Wyclef didnt have to bug out, we all know your from Haiti, WE GET IT! anyway, let me not be a hater, this was a beautiful project just like the one from 1985 and this is all for a better cause...

WE ARE THE WORLD 1985

i had to post the 1985 version of course before i posted the recent one made for Haiti. This is straight HISTORY right here people.

i honestly can't get enough of this guy, Nas. and when i heard this track with John Legend, i didnt even have to listen and i knew i would fall in love with this track. check it, Nas sounds just as great as he always has. This is "Victory" off that new DJ Khaled project
