Came across this awesome video of Jay-Z at Glastonbury on Youtube, and found it too delicious to resist. He starts off playing Wonderwall before breaking into “99 Problems” with the Back in Black riff under the verses like the band usually does.
I think this video exemplifies just why rappers shouldn’t try to sing, but the bit where Jay-Z breaks into “99 Problems” is just wicked. And the entire crowd reaction to the Wonderwall riff will probably go down as a great Glastonbury moment, heheh.
In other news, AMR did our auditions for the NYP Open Huse today playing Isaac’s original ,2AM, and it went pretty well. I’m not gonna say anymore in case I jinx the result, but what I will say is that we’ll be playing several acoustic gigs at the DMSM booth at OH over the 3 days, which will hopefully include a few originals that up till now have yet to see the light of day.
Alright, now back to IP.
