Audiotistic 201026.07.10
So, this past weekend we made it out to Audiotistic to check out some of the performers and to get our dance on! I was extremely excited though to see Kid Cudi & A-Trak because I’ve never seen them live and I must say they exceeded my expectations! I sang my lungs out all through out the performances and was also really close to both Cudi & A-Trak when they were on. Also, much to my delight I went to check out DJ Craze perform and he absolutely killed it! Bassnectar who was on before Cudi though was one of the best performances aside from Cudi and Trizzy! I looked for a few photos and videos of the night because I didn’t take my camera in, although I found myself recording some with my 3GS, but nevertheless heres a taste of how the night went:
Bassnectar:
Kid Cudi:
Opening: “REVOFEV”
“Soundtrack to My Life”
“Erase Me”

Listen: Lauryn Hill x MTV Unplugged – The Mystery of Iniquity01.07.10
One of the only reasons why I am thankful for MTV: Unplugged. The Unplugged series has turned out many timeless performances from many great performers from Bob Dylan to Jay-Z, to Nirvana. Lauryn Hill’s set is no exception to this. This particular performance is a favorite of mine, although I have yet to see the whole thing. Go get yourself a copy!
The Mystery of Iniquity
This particular song may seem familiar to you; you might be thinking “I’ve heard that somewhere” and you probably have…unless of course you have no idea who Kanye West is (see where this is going?). If you’re thinking what I was when I heard this, then you’re thinking that that chorus was used for All Falls Down and you would be correct! Unfortunately, for one reason or another, Lauryn Hill had nothing to do with the making of All Falls Down and Syleena Johnson had to fill in which wasn’t bad, but it also wasn’t Lauryn. I guess we all have our reasons.
This is how it might have sounded like if Mr. West had his way:
