Jay-Z and Eminem perform for “DJ Hero” release party in LA

Jay-Z and Eminem shared the mic at the Wiltern on June 1st in a rare joint appearance to celebrate the launch of “DJ HERO” in front of a celebrity-studded audience.

Travis Barker and DJ AM (TRVS/DJAM) started off the night and commanded the crowds attention followed by a quick song by Warren G.

Jay-Z took the stage next with live band – Roc Boys and performed an 11 song set of classics as well as some newer songs…”99 Problems,” “Can I Live” “Jigga What,” “Public Service Announcement” and his verse from “Swagga Like Us.” The set raged on with spins through “Blue Magic,” “My President Is Black,” “Dirt Off Your Shoulder” and Lil Wayne’s “A Milli,” ending the set with a rock remix of “Encore.

Jigga acted as if the set was over and then asked if he could perfom 1 more track – it was “Renegade” and Eminem took the stage.  The crowd went crazy.

Eminem stayed on stage to perform “3 A.M.,” from the Relapse album followed by “Underground,” “We Made You” and “Crack a Bottle.” The set closed with Em’s classic “Lose Yourself.”

Speaking of “DJ Hero” according to reports Def Jam is releasing Def Jam Rapstar in last 2009 (prob right around xmas).

Video Game authority IGN.com spoke to Lauren Wirtzer, Def Jam Interactive’s vice president of marketing and 4mm CEO Nicolas Perrett to get some incite into the video game. “There are not very many products out there that speak directly to the hip-hop consumer base,” said Wirtzer. “More than just a music game, this is a game that really incorporates all of the crucial elements of this lifestyle. It’s not just about music, it’s about swagger.”

It has not been said which gaming system Rapstar will be released on…

LETZBYONEST #19: “PAYOLA” FUCKED UP EVERYTHING…AGAIN!

LETZBYONEST:

NOT SINCE THE DAYZ OF MILLI VANILLI, CINDY LAUPER AND TIFFANY HAS THE RADIO WAVES BEEN PLASTERED WITH SUCH COMMERCIAL INTRIGUE. “BLAME IT ON THE RAIN” (by milli vanilli), “TIME AFTER TIME” (by cindy lauper) AND WHATEVER RETARDED ASS SONG TIFFANY SANG (by tiffany) WERE AMAZING RECORDS FOR THEIR TIME (i guess). EXTREMELY COMMERCIAL AND KINDA CORNY, BUT PREVALANT TO THEIR TIME FRAME, RIGHT?

TURN ON THE RADIO TODAY..I’LL WAIT. TURN IT TO THE ALTERNATIVE STATION AND THERE’S RAP MUZIK PLAYIN. TURN IT TO THE R&B/RAP STATION AND THERE’S ALTERNATIVE AND POP MUZIK PLAYIN. YOU CAN CREDIT THE “MASH” OF GENRES IF YOU marijuWANNA. YEAH, I GIVE COMPLETE CREDIT TO THE WAY MUZIK HAS SHIFTED TO FRED WORST (I MEAN DURST) AND METHOD MAN (i genuially love method man). NO WAIT, I GIVE IT TO KID ROCK; RAP AND ROCK. I REMEMBER AEROSMITH AND RUN DMC MASHED BACK IN THE DAY AND THAT TURNED OUT CHANGING THE FACES OF TIME. SOOOOO THAT DOESN’T GET THE CREDIT.

RADIO STATIONS ARE FUCKIN GARBAGE. WAIT, ALBUMS ARE GARBAGE, RECORD DEALS ARE GARBAGE, ARTISTS ARE GARBAGE, LABEL OWNERZ ARE GARBAGE. SHALL I CONTINUE. THE PROBLEM IZ, WE (well you) CONSUMERS DON’T GET AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THE BEHIND THE SCENES MADNESS. THERE IS A VJ SOMEWHERE (as we speak) SITTING AT HIS VJ STATION (fuck VJ ALL CITY of COLUMBUS, OHIO) PLAYING THE WACKEST MUZIK IN THE WORLD. THEY DONT EVEN APPRECIATE THE RECORD PERSONALLY, THEY RECEIVED CASH and/or GIFTS FROM AN ARTIST/LABEL TO PLAY IT A PARTICULAR AMOUNT OF TIMEZ PER DAY. THIS IZ PAYOLA… THE PAY FOR PLAY SYSTEMATIC INFRINGEMENT.

“BRING ME 2OO DOLLARS AND SOME POPEYE’S CHICKEN AND I’LL PLAY B.YONEST SONGS.”-DJ ALL CITY (pictured below)

THIZ FUCKIN FAT ASS, RETARDED, CORNY ASS LOOKIN NIGGA BY THE NAME OF DJ ALL SHITTY (OR ALL CITY, something like that) HAD THE AUDACITY TO TELL MY MANAGER THAT SHIT ONE DAY IN COLUMBUS, OHIO. IF IT’S HAPPENING THERE, WHAT THE FUCK IZ GOING ON IN NYC, ATLANTA, VEGAS, LOS ANGELES, MIAMI, ETC.. AND YOU ALL WONDER WHY THE FUCK CHINGY GETZ AIR PLAY. YOU WONDER WHY THE “CRUNK” MUZIK AND “POPPY SING-A-LONGS”‘ ARE BRAINWASHING US ALL. (make sure u click on ALL SHITTY’s face. Check hiz 107.5. The mohawk iz my favorite, personally.)

DJ’S DONT GIVE A SHIT, EITHER. THEY WANT MONEY, MEANING THE RADIO STATIONS AND THE CLUBS ARE BEING PAID OFF TO PLAY RECORDS. WE CANT WIN. IF THE HOTTEST VJ’S AND DJ’S ARE RECEIVING MONEY TRANSFERS AND WATCHES TO PLAY RECORDS, THEY GONNA DO IT. BASICALLY, IF YOUR AN ARTIST WITHOUT A “GANG” OF BREAD TO WASTE…GIVE UP NOW. TAKE YOUR PC AND MAC’S BACK. NO MORE TRITON, NOR MOTIF’S. NO CERATO! BACK TO THE POST OFFICE!! YUCK

ANONYMOUZ

SIDENOTE… PAYOLA IZ EXTREMELY ILLEGAL AND OFFENSIVE TO UZ INDIVIDUALS WHO MAKE “CREDIBLE” RECORDS. IT’S AN UP HILL BATTLE. IT’S LIKE ATTEMPTING TO TAKE ALL THE WEED OFF THE STREETS. GET REAL FUCKERZ. NO MATTER HOW MANY NIGGAZ GO TO JAIL AND/OR GET FIRED FROM STATIONZ AND LABELS, PAYOLA WILL EXIST. KEEP IT MOVIN’.
