B.o.B - So Good [Live in Las Vegas]

Cris Cab Performs 'No Woman, No Cry' With Wyclef & OAR [Video]


While the young Miami native was performing at the Bowery Ballroom in NYC this past weekend with OAR, they went into a cover performance of one of my favorite songs of all time. To the surprise of the fans, The Fugees own Wyclef Jean hopped on stage to help really put the performance over the edge. This over 7-minute cover of the track is just classic, as Cris Cab, Wyclef, and OAR front-man Marc Roberge all got a chance to sing the song in front of the packed New York crowd.

Karmin - Brokenhearted x I Told You So [Live on SNL]


For those of you out there, such as myself, that missed Karmin's performance on SNL this weekend you can check out these videos of them performing their two newest singles. With three singles already exposed, their debut album, Hello, is shaping up to look pretty good. Look for it to drop sometime in April.

Bruno Mars - Runaway [Live at The Grammys]



My personal favorite performance of the night had to have been the show that Bruno Mars put on while performing 'Runaway'. A lesser-known song from his Doo-Wops And Hooligans album (but still awesome none the less), Bruno proved that even though he didn't have the number of nominations that other big artists had he still could blow you away with his performances. It seems that everyone's opinion of him is either love or hate, but this live rendition definitely topped my list.

Nicki Minaj - Roman Holiday [Live at The Grammys]



As painful as it was for me to watch Nicki perform this tonight for The Grammys, it's tough getting a real feel for the overall sound of her new single. Everyone can expect the CDQ of 'Roman Holiday' some time tonight, so we'll have a better idea of how the track actually sounds when Nicki Roman's not going through an exorcism.

If you thought you were sick of 'Rollin' in the Deep' already, just wait...

The Grammys is the epitomy of music. And what would we be if we didn't do our own review right here on BTH?....a crappy site is what we'd be.

Killed it: Adele, Foo Fighters, Taylor Swift, Country Music in general, anyone playing a Whitney Houston drinking game (too soon?), Nicki Minaj (hate to say it).

Another Night at the office: Chris Brown, Cold Play, Maroon Five, Rihanna, Bruce Springsteen

Give it a Rest: Paul McCartney, The Beach Boys (total age approx. 1,000 years)

Kendrick Lamar & Fan Perform 'Look Out For Detox' [Video]


While performing 'Look Out For Detox' out in San Antonio, Kendrick Lamar called a fan up on stage for apparently "mean-mugging" or something. Kendrick asks the kid (Kyle) if he can perform the track better then he can and to the surprise of both the crowd and Kendrick he pretty much does. Class act move on the part of Kendrick Lamar.

Nas - Nasty [Live on Jimmy Fallon]


Backed by The Roots, Nasty Nas performs his latest single on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Now if we can only get him to give us a release date for his next album all would be well.

Common - Celebrate [Live on Jimmy Fallon]



I finally was able to give Common's new album, The Dreamer/The Believer, a full spin last weekend and my only reaction was wow. Unfortunately the bad timing of dropping in late December left it off many "Year End" lists because it easily made my top 5 albums of 2011. 'Celebration' is just one of the many standout tracks from the project. Some of my other favorites included 'Cloth', 'Sweet', and 'The Dreamer'. Support good music (pun intended) and go cop The Dreamer/The Believer on iTunes now.

The Roots Live At The Winter Classic [Video]


For anybody that caught the Winter Classic game last Monday between the Rangers and the Flyers, you got to see The Roots perform during the second intermission. The Philly-based group took to the stage to perform 'The Fire' off their How I Got Over Album and even went as far as changing the chorus of the track to cater to the Philadelphia Flyers. You think the announcer could have been a bit more enthusiastic about the introduction?

Astro - Black Or White [Live on X-Factor]


For anyone out there that has not been checking up on this season of The X-Factor USA, this young kid from Brooklyn, NY has been killing it every week. Even though he's the only rapper I've ever seen on a music competition such as this, he's been able to wow the judges with every performance he has done so far. What's even crazier is that he has written an original song each week so far (unlike other artists who have been performing covers) and he's only 15-years-old! Whether or not he is able to win the entire competition may be a different story, but after all is said and done, this young MC will have a bright future ahead of him.

This video is from last night's performance of The X-Factor in which the theme of the week was a Michael Jackson tribute. Astro was able to take "Black Or White", one of the best songs in the history of pop, and turn it into a more modern, yet still powerful song for a newer generation. Enjoy, and keep your eye out for this kid as the competition continues.

Jay-Z & Kanye West - N*ggas In Paris [Live]


There's really nothing much better then Victoria's Secret models and hip-hop. If you were one of the few people to miss last night's Victoria's Secret Show, then shame on you. Luckily you can check out the performance that Ye and Hov did during the show. As for the rest of the good stuff, well, that's what the internet is for.

A$AP Rocky - Peso [Live] x Speaks on Drake, Pharrell, etc. [Video]


While performing out at The Music Box in Hollywood, Kendrick Lamar brings out A$AP Rocky to perform a standout track, and my personal favorite, from the Harlem native's LiveLoveA$AP mixtape. Also, you can hit the jump to check out an interview with HipHopAtLunch in which he discusses missing Drake's album release party, Pharrell's opinion of his mixtape, and more.
