Photos of Various Old School Legends Live at the 2010 Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival
And I mean to use the term 'Old School' above exactly the same way my dude, DJ Maseo from De La Soul meant it when he used it Saturday at the BHF: as a mark of respect and a badge of honor. All of these artists (from the top): Masta Ace, Craig G and Marley Marl of the Juice Crew, Dres of Black Sheep, Group Home of the Gangstarr Foundation, Pete Rock & CL Smooth and the Cold Crush Bros. are more than just footnotes in hip hop history to me....

Videos from Pete Rock & CL Smooth's European Tour
I didn't even know they had reconciled! Glad to hear it though.
Here's their Jam Master Jay tribute and "Down with the Ling" at L'Elysée Montmartre in Paris, France on Wednesday (10.11.09):

Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth Live at the Relentless Garage in London on Monday (11.9.09):
Pete Rock performs a Tribute to Michael Jackson by playing some Jackson 5 classics before going into "They Reminisce Over You (T.R.O.Y.)" with C.L. Smooth.
BTW: I finally went to see This Is It last night. I thought it was great. Based on what I saw, Michael was about to blow people's skulls with the show he was putting together. And other than being really skinny, he looked fine too - totally healthy and not anything close to being in the kind of condition that should have led to his death. A total tragedy but an amazingly enjoyable, touching and life-affirming tribute to the creative legacy of the greatest entertainer of our time.
