Tupac

Pac

Time flies....when you're getting old. The fact that 17 years have passed so quickly is pretty alarming. Nearly two decades. I didn't just wake up today with this realisation. Today actually marks the 17th year since the passing of arguably one of the most recognisable and debated icons. Love him or hate him, he's still talked about to this day. 

Tupac Shakur is here to stay.

Nas - You Wouldn't Understand feat. Victoria Monet (Live Video)

Nas

Last night on The Arsenio Hall Show, Nas performed a live version of "You Wouldn't Understand" from his successful last album "Life Is Good". This was one of my favourite tracks from the album despite hearing that a few people weren't keen on the beat or R'n'B direction it takes. It was good to finally put a face to the voice of Victoria Monet!

FZ

The Internet - Dontcha (Video)

The Internet

Odd Future offshoot The Internet return with a new video for "Dontcha" from their upcoming album "Feel Good". This is not what you might expect when Odd Future is uttered in the same breath, as it's a smooth bit of R'n'B that can easily rival anything considered to be in that genre today. Chad Hugo lent a helping hand here so watch out for his cameo in the video.

Nas: Defining Moments (Video)

Nas

Like the genre of music that he made his name with, Nas turns 40 years old this year on Saturday. Only a month younger than Hip-Hop but definitely one of the names synonymous with the culture and also one with a number of standout moments throughout his career. 

Complex TV put together a piece called "Defining Moments" that highlights the milestones he's sure to be remembered for.

Watch part 1 below. Part 2 will play automatically at the end of part 1.

After a 19 year absence, Arsenio Hall finally made his return to late night television last night. "The Arsenio Hall Show" is set to be a week nightly programme that will follow the mould of his previous series from 1994 and before.

Kanye West - Bound 2 (Live Performance Video)

West

Last night on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Kanye West made an appearance to perform the best record off his "Yeezus" album, "Bound 2". Backed by The Roots and with magnificent vocals from Charlie Wilson, he made the live performance of the track sound amazing, if not better than the studio version.

Koncept - 40 oz Spliffs (J57 Remix) (Video)

Koncept

Not too long passed by after the release of Koncept's "Malt Disney EP" last year before a remixed version of the EP by fellow Brown Bag AllStar J57 surfaced. While the original EP produced by DeeJay Element certainly came through with the bangers, the J57 remixes deliver a brand new spin and sound completely different.

Watch the video for "40 oz Spliffs" which just premiered on Mass Appeal and be sure to check out the remix EP on iTunes.
