So I spent this past Holiday weekend in Vegas. The trip was definitely just what I needed. We stayed at the Trump hotel. While at Ceasar Palace we lucked up on V.I.P passes to the topless pool to see Big Boi perform. I had video footage but it isn’t very long, so I’ll just post pics instead. No I didn’t go topless but there sure were a bunch of women who had just got boob jobs by the pool.
This is a show that if God permits, the Snewtonians will be in the building for and I suggest you do the same. P.J morton will be performing along with Torri Griffin (from Black Orchard), Vernard Burton, and Soltre James. Check them out and in the meantime you can hit them all on twitter.

More footage from Thursday… I had never heard of Lid Law before this night, but despite not knowing any of his songs, I was still entertained by his set… amazing feat! This guy had props, jokes annnnd BARS! I’m gonna do my research and bless you all with the results.

Snewtonians were in full effect this past thursday @ Red Kiva for Phli’s Phinal Thursdays. Between Lid Law’s comedic rap performance, Small Records’ MJ tribute and Black O’s usual brand of WTFuckery, I was thoroughly entertained! (Seriously, I woulda paid for the show!) Here’s footage of Black Orchard (stay tuned for more from these guys) performing Freaky Fridays and their energetic, party starting anthem, Poppin‘….. click play and enjoy the ride!

This was a dope concert that no one should have missed. The concert started on time and everybody performed with plenty of energy, engaging the crowd. Badu didn’t get off stage till 12 am. The show was in Chicago June 2, and the 3rd. I went to the show that was on the 2nd. I had some of the best seats in the house and was able to capture some footage for you guys to check out. Shouts out to my favorite Dj for showing me ticket love.
Janelle Monae opened the show and killed it might I add. She had me wanting to buy a cloak and some black dance shoes.
Here she is performing a ballad ” Smile”… think this vid pretty much captures her raw talent vocally.

N.E.R.D followed Janelle and boy do I love me some Pharell. The group performed a bulk of their girl friendly songs. Pharell was real cool and even stepped out on the ledge of the stage to touch fans. ( I love Pharell)
Heres the footage of my boo performing ” Beautiful” .. at the end of the video he hops on some speakers, you can tell he loves his fans.

Lastly we have Ms. Badu who definitely did her thing. She gave dope live versions of tracks of her latest album as well as taking it back to her 98 debut.
Here is footage of her playing a beat on the MPC

With the title stemming from college greek slang referring to the “schoolyard” (i.e. campus), “The Yard” is a screenplay written, produced, and directed by 24 year-old Southern Illinois University-Carbondale alumnus Brandon A. Williams. This particular piece of work is a story portraying college life involving characters from different backgrounds, upbringings, cultures and etc. It tells stories from the different perspectives of the various students, faculty, and members of the university and local community; some of these stories come from Williams’s personal experiences with his alma mater. The author labels this screenplay as a “acapella musical”. Similar to a musical, the characters’ lines transition from dialogue to verbal cadences and rhyme as a form of expression. However, instead of using song, the characters’ lines transition from dialogue to “spoken word” or acapella rap. Williams brings one of the major elements of hip-hop to the stage; being an independent hip-hop artist as well as an overall writer of comedy, poetry, songs, and plays, he decided to merge two of the talents together for his newest creation of artistic expression that is “The Yard”.
