Sadly, it’s not one film covering both acts at once, but two documentaries about hip-hop legends Jay-Z and A Tribe Called Quest are coming our way. The Jay-Z film, entitled NY-Z is a love letter to the city Jay refers to as his muse. It captures the September 11, 2009 benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, the same hallowed venue where Jay shot his last concert flick, 2004’s Fade To Black. And much like that previous film, the concert is chocked full of special guests, including Kanye West, Rihanna, Mary J. Blige, Beyonce, Diddy, John Mayer and Pharrell.
Pharrell is also slated to appear in the as yet untitled documentary by actor Michael Rappaport celebrating the legacy of A Tribe Called Quest. News of the film surfaced on The Neptunes website yesterday, reporting:
A new documentary film will be released …

Though Plastic Beach will be released next week, The Guardian and NPR are streaming it in full. Guests include Snoop Dogg, Lou Reed, Mos Def, Little Dragon, Bobby Womack, and Mark E. Smith. “Gorillaz are part of our lives now,” say De La Soul. “We’ll always feel part of what they do. They’re family!” You can say that again! The UK-based newspaper has dedicated the music section to the band.

Here’s the first track off of the new mixtape by Dave Sitek of TV on the Radio and funny person Aziz Ansari (aka Raaaaaaaandy). Why are they angry? Apparently no one sent them verses for their mixtape? Who are they angry at? How about Cudi, Jay-Z, Luda, Drake, Clipse, Mos Def, Kanye and MF Doom. Biggest surprise? Aziz does a pretty good Marshall Mathers double-time rap (my wife even asked “Why are you listening to Eminem this early in the morning?”)

Hi Mos Def
It wasn’t that type of show. That’s what this pressman (minus a press pass) overheard near the capacity bar. It was Pete Rock on the wheels warming up the crowd. Then De La Soul for a long, bizarre set. Then mighty Mos Def clad in garish garb commandeering the limelight in self-indulgent fashion, Slick Rick in tow. Another wrinkle in time in Philadelphia, a city that recently withstood two crippling blizzards in less than a week. A city trying to thaw, a country teetering on the edge of double-dip recession. An awkward moment for a sold-out true school party. Thursday night to boot, not quite the weekend. …MORE
