“I won’t lie….never had the chance to fully listen to 88-Keys, but when he came out and spit a few bars here and there…I was impressed….. From tricking fans by saying he was bringing out Yeezy (Kanye West to newly converted hip-hop heads) and instead coming out with his shirt open, black glove and lip-syncing to his lead single, 88 battled a handful of boos, a wad of paper thrown at his story-telling assistant which came out in-between tracks and poor microphone sound problems… On a side note, he did, however, bring out Bilal…)…
…Eminem [who got a taste of Bruno’s butt at the MTV Movie Awards last night] told you to “take some Big and some ‘Pac, mix ’em up in a pot, sprinkle a lil’ Big L on top, now what the f*ck do you got,” well, let me do you one slightly better. You take some hip and some hop, pour it all in a pot, surprise fans with Mos and Talib and fo’ sure they gon’ pop……’ (laugh) Okay, maybe I’ll stick to the re-cap and news covering….but when I tell you the place exploded with energy upon the arrival of Black Star’s front men…. [SOHH]
Mos Def and Talib Kweli reunited Black Star for not one, but two back-to-back shows at NYC’s Nokia Theatre on Saturday night (5/30). More pictures, and some videos, from the early show below…
