At The One Music Fest last night. And yes, he did pretty much freestyle for 5 minutes. More below…from Exclusive Access:

 
Emerging as one of the Summer’s most anticipated festival concert series. ONE MusicFest brought in the talents Common, Goapele, De La Soul, Mick Boogie and a host of local flavor. Infusing artists and bands that will unify spectators through the universal language of sound, ONE MusicFest fills a necessary void in the city’s music experience. King Plow Events, One Stop Productions and Sol Fusion have formed a uniquely diverse alliance to produce ONE MusicFest, with the intention of unification through music.

DJ Butter vs. D12?

July 31, 2010 JUKEBOXDC Staff News, Videos No Comments  

From Illseed of AllHipHop:

DJ Butter is a well known, legend from Detroit, but he’s stepping up now about something that happened a long time ago. Here is the deal. He had a mixtape called “Sh*t Happens” and it dropped about 9 years ago. One of the songs on there was taken and turned into a joint on D12’s first CD. Now, DJ Butter feels like he was ripped off. I wonder what the legalites are with jacking from a non-commercial product. I don’t know if this was actually in stores…hell, I’m not a lawyer. Here is what D12 member Mr. Porter had to say:

“We got the song and we redid the song and we end up using it for our album. We said “Yo! What is the song for Dog?”. We (D12) was going to use it for DJ Butter’s mixtape. Alright lets call Butter and let him know to not put the song out until atleast after the album (Devil’s Night album). And after ya’ll talked (Referring Eminem and Paul talking to DJ Butter), I Kind of understood that they were going to reimbursed you for that. Basically, They didn’t do none of that. None of that went down. Cause I know Eminem did a drop for you. I’m very busy, but when it come down to it. That don’t make sense!”

Heineken Inspire Tour’s New York Stop

The Heinekin Inspire Tour landed in New York City yesterday, bringing along tenured talent, electric rock music, smooth R&B, and a fresh breeze of hip hop air for all those in attendance to inhale and enjoy.

With the likes of Wale, Fabolous, J.Cole, DJ Nice and Jazzy Jeff scratching vinyls, Ryan Leslie crooning over the mic while other talents such as
Cold War Kids, The Hold Steady and Tito El Bambino kept the head’s knocking, I’m sure there was plenty of epic-ness transpiring up north over the weekend.


Below are some fan photos live from the event.


















Here’s a video of J.Cole ripping the crowd with a live version of “Who Dat” earlier in the tour at the Philly stop.
