D-Nice's True Hip Hop Stories: Sadat X of Brand Nubian
Y'all youngsters don't even realize how BIG Brand Nubian were in hip hop and on the streets when One For All dropped. I'm not even sure the album ever even went Gold but its impact was Graduation, Tha Carter III, Get Rich or Die Tryin'-sized big regardless because the album stayed hot for damn near a year which almost never happens in hip hop any more in an era where cats have to drop a mixtape every week to keep cats giving a f-ck about them! I kind of wish this True Hip Hop Stories was about the classic "All for One" single, but "Punks Jump Up..." was the first record these guys dropped after the success of the One For All album and the departure of lead rapper and God MC, Grand Puba so this is still an interesting story in its own right.

Zune presents 'Live at the BBQ' - NYC 8.4.07
'ZUNE - LIVE AT THE BBQ' looks like it could be a good one. About the event from the Zune site:
"We created “Zune - Live at the BBQ”, to give back to our cultural core consumer. For us, it’s about connecting with that core and giving them the opportunity to participate in the Zune mantra which is to support Art, Music and Film in the digital space. This Show is a reward to those who have come to support the digital platform. It’s also a thank you to those individuals in the city who have come to support the local and national Art, Music and Film community. We’ll do that by bringing music back to the community parks. It’s a nod to A time when this music was about community; community support and community interaction. We want to recreate that energy with the ultimate park jam experience and we want you to be there.
Featuring: Brand Nubian, Cham, Large Professor, Clipse, MIMS, Joell Ortiz and many more special guests."
