Friday Five : \'fr-(,)d,-d 'fv\ : On the sixth day of every week, I hit the shuffle button on my iTunes, then share the first five tracks and thought for each track. Sometimes there is a playlist involved, occasionally we'll have a guest, but most of the time it's just me. The rest is up to you, our friends and readers! Fire up your media player of choice and share the first five random track of your shuffle in the comments.

Re:Generation is the soundtrack component of the Re:Generation Music Project by Amir Bar-Lev, a documentary that follows the history of music by combining old and new, classic and electronic. On Re:Generation , five of todays most influential electronic dance music producers- Mark Ronson, DJ Premier, The Crystal Method, Pretty Lights, and Skrillex- spin EDM into classical, rap, jazz, country, and rock. The album is not just a timeline compilation- each song spans across a multitude of genres and time periods. Re:Generation is a piece of woven art- a euphonic quilt.

I am kicking myself right now, wishing I had copped a ticket to see Jay-Z perform at Carnegie Hall. Now that I have missed out on the first night, and I most certainly will not be able to cough up several hundred bucks to see him tonight, the best we can do is catch some of the footage. Here is a short clip of Hov performing " Glory ", the song he recently dedicated to his new daughter. The event was met with all sorts of special guests, including?uestlove and Young Guru as part of the orchestra, and Alicia Keys [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-07T15:35:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4043222/jay-z-carnegie-hall-in-photos-videos/
Last night, Jay-Z played a benefit for United Way of New York City and The Shawn Carter Scholarship Foundation at NYC's Carnegie Hall - he plays again tonight - and though most of the public was priced out by ticket prices in the hundreds and thousands, there were still enough Elliott Wilson s and Jon Caramanicas there to give the rest of us heavy FOMO. Amongst the highlights: Jay-Z and Nas doing Illmatic 's "N.Y. State Of Mind," Jay rapping a medley of Reasonable Doubt classics from the balcony during the encore [...]]]> text/html 2012-02-07T14:42:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4043169/video-jay-z-performs-at-carnegie-hall/

Some time around their performance during Madden Bowl 2012, Nas and The Roots hopped on stage to perform "Nasty". Not only was it one of our favorite tracks of 2012 , but it also gives us some hope for Nas to return to his true mic mangling form. And you already knew this Salaam Remi production was going to sound huge with The Roots on stage. Hit the skip to watch the performance. 21223138 by YardieGoals]]> text/html 2012-02-03T16:11:29+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4034961/watch-nas-with-the-roots-live-on-fallon/
My hopes are pretty high for the new Nas record. Every couple of months he's been slipping out a brilliant new track (along with, it must be said, a few turkeys). Watch him perform 'Nasty' on last night's Jimmy Fallon - along with the world's best session band, The Roots .]]> text/html 2012-02-03T15:31:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4034929/nas-performs-with-the-roots-on-fallon/
Last night, Jimmy Fallon's Late Night show, in Indianapolis for the Super Bowl, played host to rap legend Nas, who performed his blistering comeback single " Nasty " with the Roots backing him up. In the right context, Nas is an absolutely electrifying live performer, and this is pretty much exactly the right context. Watch him kill shit below.

Last night on Fallon Nas hit up the stage to perform his track "Nasty" with a little help from ?uestlove and The Roots. Although the performance didn't take place in the usual studio due to Fallon basing himself in Indianapolis 'cos of some big sporting event this weekend? I kid, it's Super Bowl XLVI!!!%£&$ Anyway, Nas puts in a stellar performance which can be enjoyed via The Audio Perv.]]> text/html 2012-02-03T12:39:11+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4034551/televisions-on-the-blink/
