“Lots of people believe that the kind of stuff I’m doing should be underground — that it validates your art to not be able to live off it, But I think what we’re doing belongs in the mainstream. Let the stupid stuff be underground.”

Here’s Kanye performing ‘Stronger’ and then ‘Hey Mama’.
One of the most emotional performances i’ve ever seen.

Be sure to post in this thread to be included in the contest!

I decided to remove the video of him breaking down during an attempt to perform ‘Hey Mama’ and replace it with this. Above is a video of him live on stage in Belgium, speaking on her passing. The video quality isn’t great, but the audio is very clear.

With Matthew Santos & Patrick Stump of Fall Out Boy.
This is from the MTV Woodies the other day.
Here’s the cover for The Cool as well.

BONUS: Hello, Goodbye (Live)

Jay performs Roc Boys at his New York performance last night after wishing the best to Kanye, then brings out Jadakiss to announce him as the newest Rocafella signee.
And guess what this idiot does. Just Guess.
He fuckin refuses to perform All About the Benjamins then doesnt know the words to The Champ Is Here.
Jay-Z then tells Green Lantern to bring his shit back. Wow. Moron.
Remember how monumental it was when Jay did this with Kanye?
Sorry, enough hate for today.

For a full write-up of the concert and video’s of Hello Brooklyn w/ Wayne and the I Get Money Remix w/ Diddy, head on over to RealTalkNY.net

This is probably my favorite track off the album.
From the Vh1 special ‘Jay-Z: Life of an American Gangster’, which will air Nov. 9th at 9 pm.
VH1.com has 2 more vids.

Interview and performance of ‘Roc Boys’

BONUS: Jim Jones - American Gangsta (Jay-Z Diss)

Ok, ok. I may be way out of line, but who would you rather listen to in ‘07, the Kid Brother or the Big Brother?
American Gangster review coming soon.

We got word from some of our sources this is true. If you aint been around, this is the supposed 50 Cent diss. Be sure to watch the BET Hip Hop Awards this Wednesday at 8 pm to find out. We’ll keep you posted. EDIT: We were right.

BONUS: 5 7 more tracks have leaked from The Carter III. Sorry, Wayne, we have to do it. Update, people are telling me these tracks are leaked from the Bad Azz Grasshopper project which is an experimental group Lil’ Wayne started, and are NOT off The Carter III.
