Kendrick Lamar Takes Over NYC
As I was in the train heading towards the Kendrick Lamar concert tonight, I questioned if the $72 I paid for the ticket was worth it. Kendrick had a performance at Lettermen before his first Roseland Ballroom show. The TDE rapper had a busy night planned on February 26th, but he did not disappoint. He stormed the stage with a ton of energy.
The Compton native began the concert after a 30 minute delay with his Jeezy collaboration, “Westside, Right On Time,” and then transitioned into his Section .80 classic, “Hol Up.” K. Dot started off with mostly mixtape tracks and then performed some album tracks towards the end of the night. Top Dawg Entertainment took over Roseland Ballroom. Ab-Soul came out to perform “Terrorist Threats,” Jay Rock was around to spit his verse in “Money Trees”, and lastly Schoolboy Q performed his hit single “Hands On The Wheel.” Q even went on to say that he is tired of performing that track and is ready to show off his new music. Kendrick held his own on stage. He flowed naturally from one song to the next giving the crowd the ultimate concert experience. It also didn’t hurt that he added a light show that included lasers and a great stage production. Overall Kendrick’s performance surpassed my expectations. His delivery, stage presence and discography is unrivaled by any other freshman in the game right now. As Peter Rosenberg said before Kendrick’s set, “He is the greatest young artist doing this hip hop thing right now.” No doubt about that. Watch footage from the early Roseland Ballroom show and Kendrick’s performance on Letterman after the jump. Also check out his debut album, good kid, m.A.A.d city, if you have been sleeping.

Deadmau5 takes on Roseland Ballroom October 4th
Joel showcasing his new helmet and his first gold record (rollingstone)
Right off the bat, I’d like to apologize for being so busy these last couple of days. I’ll admit, I haven’t even been checking the site, let alone updating it. So I decided that today I should try to come through with a nice post about none other than the Canadian DJ, Joel Zimmerman. Pardon my french but who is this guy that he’s able to perform six straight nights in the hottest, most congested venue in NYC? He’s either the most passionate DJ ever, or just an incredibly smart business man. I mean, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday!? He booked and sold out these six straight shows at the same crappy venue that he played at last year – Roseland Ballroom. The fact that tickets are being flipped for over twice the face value (even with six shows lined up) attests to his crazy popularity in NYC. Last night, Deadmau5 started his six show run with a set that may look like one of the better ones of 2011. He went through popular tracks like “Raise Your Weapons” Noisa Remix, “I Remember”, “Moar Ghosts N’ Stuff”, “Ghosts N’ Stuff”, “FML”, my personal favorite “Strobe”, and even the new track “Professional Griefers“. He went through many other songs and what really added to his performance was the amazing stage set up (just basing it off of the videos). The Light show looked crazy as usual, but whats new? Deadmau5′s concerts have always delivered mind blowing visual effects. I could go on forever about this show and Joel, but since I may actually end up going to one of the concerts this weekend, I will return with a possible review soon.
