Rap Treats #73: Jay-Z & Nas Live In London
This is a Rap Treat that comes straight from DJ Green Lantern. He blessed us with a board feed (in other words a good quality recording) of Jay & Nas performing together in London. This was around the time they had just squashed their beef and started working together. I got shivers just listening to this. It's a trip hearing Hov play hype man for Nasir.

Rap Treats #72: Eminem "Hammer vs. Vanilla" + 3 More Songs
So here are a bunch of old ass Eminem songs. Needless to say this is way before his Slim Shady days. One look at that outfit and hair cut though and you know these were recorded WAAAAAAY back when he still ran with homie the Chaos Kid (whoever that is). Plus the sound quality sound like doo doo.

Dave Chappelle's Impromptu Portland Appearance
So this is crazy. Dave Chappelle decided to do a surprise show in downtown Portland at 1am in the morning. That's the power of text messages and twitter! Dude has a mic and a small as amp and that's all. I'll let somebody who was actually there set the stage...
"Sooo…Dave Chappelle tries to do a last-minute surprise show in the middle of Downtown Portland at 1 AM, and 4,000 people show up. Chappelle supposedly only expected an audience of about 200, so he arrives in the outdoor Pioneer Square alone with a small portable amplifier and microphone in hand. The mob kinda prevents him from doing a proper show, but it’s still crazy to see him walk amongst us—Chappelle has become the Cam’ron of Comedy. And yeah, we would call this out for being a carefully orchestrated viral publicity stunt of Joaquin Phoenix proportions, but…Oregon? You can’t make that shit up."

Rap Treats #71: Michael Jackson feat. LL Cool J "Serious Effect" (Unreleased Circa 1991)
This is some unreleased Michael featuring LL Cool J from the Dangerous sessions. I'd never heard it or even knew this existed before today. I love the internet! I also love LL & MJ. Too bad this never saw the light of day.

DJ Premier's Michael Jackson Tribute Mix
DJ Premier goes through his favorites from MJ's entire catalogue starting in 1969. This was recorded live on Premier's satellite radio show "Live From HeadQCuarters" on Friday June 26th. Preem goes in with back to backs, transforming and all types of shit making it an official Hip Hop experience. Man, I know Michael's catalogue like a mother but I still need a playlist for some of these joints Primo puts down!
