Video: Pete Rock x CL Smooth (Live in London)
I didn’t know this was going down. Just got chills from hearing T.R.O.Y.
From yesterday’s show at Relentless Garage, Highbury.
Pete Rock & CL Smooth live onstage in London for the first time in years, dropping classics like ‘Soul Brother #1′, ‘Straighten It Out’ and ‘They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)’
It’s a short video, but props to Duncan Master for the heads up.

can’t front, the man fifty is a genius, the way he used the kanye beef to make his album go platinum was one of the greatest marketing plans ever in hip hop.
^
I don’t think that was his intent Joe, he really thought he was gonna outsell Kanye, and i mean who didn’t? 50’s previous 2 albums sold 20 million combined…it just worked out that way but he is a genius nonetheless.
I mean why wouldn’t he think he was gonna go platinum with a single like I Get Money and again after selling so many records….at that point, theoretically selling at least 2x was a guarantee.

I heard ya girl Tahiry gotta use more photoshop than hip hop nerds making officer ricky pics
November 10th, 2009 at 10:46 am
yeah.. this time though 50 has NO push.. no beef.. nothing… so like hes not makin anyone interested in the project… i really dont see big numbers for this album. if he goes gold thats a success…
also you gotta take into consideration that he did HUGE international numbers so he’ll probably make a lions share of his bread there.

the greatness of ‘Exhibit C’ cannot be overstated … it may be my favorite rap recording ever …
November 10th, 2009 at 10:46 am
So they squashed the beef? Good for them, and even better for hip hop.
TROY is my favorite hiphop song of ALL time. Like, the way Pete manipulated those horns and CL’s narrative spat gracefully over the track … feels like the alignment of the galaxies and the ancestors using that song as a way to communicate.

HOT DAMN HIP HOP JUST MADE MY DAY!!!!!! Pete and CL performing together again! Word! Brothas just let bygones be bygones. That’s some GROWN MAN SHIT and that’s DEFINITELY a good look for HIP HOP. It’s TIME some of the elder statesmen started back showing their faces and putting out product. The shit is inspirational to an old nicca like me who LOOOVES HIP HOP.

TROY or Shut Em Down Remix

Cotto never been the same after that fight with margirito (spell check?) and pac man throws too many punches from different angles. It’s going the distance for sure. cotto can pull it off, but I doubt it
November 10th, 2009 at 10:57 am
good music never gets old man they need to bless us wth a lp
they where years ahead of time

nahright has accumulated 4 tardy passes, causing an in school suspension for NOT posting the life under the scope mp3/vid/both.
Nation, stop posting 300 pictures of Jay Z and Robin Thicke and post some quality music, thanks.

I agree then again Pac seems to be doing alot apperances and performances so maybe he’s not trainning much which could cause him to lose the fight I haven’t been to impress with cotto lately

I was doing some skimming and whoever commented Jay lost for not having at least 6 Just Blaze beats on BP3 go put a gold star up on the board and grab yourself a Huggie out the small fridge.

Hopefully they can keep each other sweet long enough to make the festivals next summer. Would love to catch them live
