Check out Seen's Dead Rapper's Mix HERE.
Check out an amazing backstage pic of Bob Marley and Jimi Hendrix HERE. Is this even real??! If it is, it just blew my mind seven ways from Sunday. This might be even cooler than that video of James Brown, Prince and Michael Jackson that used to circulate in the early days of Youtube.

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....

Video: Masta Ace on his First Day in the Juice Crew
From Media Gasface:
"In Canarsie, Brooklyn, Masta Ace is better known by the kids as Coach Ace. Almost all of them rap, but have no idea their head-coach is one of the best who ever did it. They'll get a pass, though: they weren't even born the day Marley Marl gave Ace a ticket into the legend by letting him in his mother's apartment in Queensbridge. Right here, the Masta finally tells the world how a guy from Brownsville ended up in the legendary Juice Crew, how he hooked up with Marley Marl, Shan and Craig G the same day Kool G Rap recorded his 1st track ever."

Live tonight in NYC: KRS-One & Marley Marl!!!
If you're from my era, you already know why this is kind of historic!!!
Just in case though, check this out from the e-blast I found out about this show in:
"More than 20 years after Boogie Down Productions and MC Shan & Marley Marl traded dis records in what was the first higly publicized rap beef of many to come, KRS and Marley will come together on stage at The Fillmore. No longer beefin about the origin of Hip Hop from their now infamous “The Bridge “ and “The Bridge is Over” musical debate, Krs-One and Marley Marl are set to make history with their upcoming release Hip Hop Lives.
In support of their brand new release, this somewhat surprising MC/DJ duo are set to blaze a path of Hip Hop unity in response to current attacks on lyrical content from the media and claims that the genre is dead from their peers. Out to prove that Hip Hop is indeed alive and well, Krs-One and Marley Marl are embarking on a three city tour, New York, D.C. and Philadelphia to spread the word. It ain’t so much about where the music came from, its about where its going."
Also just added: Joell Ortiz & Skillz. More details here. And view the video for Marley & Kris' "Hip Hop Lives" single here.
BTW: when did Irving Plaza become the Fillmore New York??
