Stevie Wonder surprise performance with John Legend from Chris Crutchfield on Vimeo.

Classic business…Anytime Stevie blesses you with a show up…that’s a blessing, indeed.

Me, being a writer, will always be a fan of Black Thought’s work. I think he is a brilliant lyricist and gifted performer. I see a lot of pacing and hand gesturing and that’s all good when you have hot hit records and you can go single for single and the audience don’t give a heck about any type of dancing cause Hammertime is like (WHO ?) …..but my point is…Tariq Trotter has a band, and a sick ass band at that. His band stands the hell out and can hold their own without him. It’s crazy. It’s almost weird. I Know Questlove is like a trademark member of this band, but this band has been on the grind and time after time shown and prove that they have talent. When the brilliant emcee gets together with this talented band, they make magic and for myself, it was sometime in 2009 when I saw them at this lounge type joint, sponsored by Hennessy and I was covering this joint for my Right Arm and one of the band members known as Damon “Tuba Gooding Jr.” Bryson hopped off stage with the tuba and jammed all around us in the crowd, I was like DAMN! The Roots still dope and put on an excellent show ! Excuse any run-on sentences, but I’m just saying…I have been cheated out of my dough with so many shows…(I won’t mention any emcees). Anyway…you like the roots, it’s late, I’ve had some coffee, and this is my joint so forget grammar…just download this dopeness I spotted over at 2DB and respect The Art By Shake… I was ZZZZZZZZ on this for a minute…but check it out if you haven’t because I’m really enjoying it.

We don’t do much Hip Hop over here…we do that over there, so don’t get too used to these types of post, but again, this is a special crew who now shines nationwide via Late Night With Jimmy Fallon !

Corinne Bailey Rae “I’d Do It All Again”

Corinne Bailey Rae | MySpace Music Videos
New Single from upcoming album “The Sea” which drops January 26 , 2010 !

I was sleep on this beautiful songstress, primarily because I know she was going through it…and i don’t feel i need to clue you in on what she was going through, I’m sure you’ve heard, or will hear, or better yet just listen..I can hear it in her voice. It sounds so real, so heavy…it almost sounds tattooed to her vocals, sewed into her soul.

I caught wind of this while snooping around YG’s spot.. He had the youtube of the live joint up….Enjoy..
