Public Enemy & The Roots on Jimmy Fallon

Here's Public Enemy and The Roots performing "Bring The Noise" LIVE on the Jimmy Fallon Show. Jimmy still needs to work on his hosting skills and to quit laughing at his own jokes, but I do look forward to his musical guests...and the "Spin The Wheel of Carpet Samples"!

I love the fact that The Roots are Jimmy's house band. We need a new Roots LP A.S.A.P or a Black Thought solo album. I love it how Jimmy refers to Thought using his government, "Tariq"!

Speaking of The Roots...the group is coming the Seattle LIVE @ The Paramount w/ special guest Pacific Division, here's the info:

Tickets: $35.00, not including applicable fees. Tickets are on sale at The Paramount or Moore Theatre box office, charge by phone at 877-STG-4TIX, or online at STGPresents.org. Date: April 9, 2009. Time: 8:00pm Location: Paramount Theatre General Admission Floor/Reserved Balcony, All Ages.

Notorious: Behind The Scenes

Straight Jacked from MTV.com

"I want to make it feel like a concert," director George Tillman Jr. said during a visit to the set of the Notorious B.I.G. biopic, which hits theaters January 16. "Like you're right there in the middle of a show. ... On that day, it felt like I was performing with [Big], 'cause you go out backstage to shoot scenes, you see entourages, you see people with their own cliques hanging out. I felt like I was with a rap star."

"Performances, that's what I do" said Jamal "Gravy" Woolard, who plays Biggie in the film. "I'm gonna make you feel like you see him up there. Like he's not gone. That's what I got to do."

---I can't wait for this movie to come out. I've been waiting for a year since I heard this film was in production. I'm glad that this movie was shot as a bio-pic and not as a documentary. To see Hollywood's take on the Brooklyn legend, i'll spend that $10. I might even get a box of sour patch kids! Fox Searchlight put together a great website, CLICK HERE, blogging about the status of the film. 'Notorious' hits theaters January 16th!

---The soundtrack (CLICK TO PRE-ORDER) hits stores and iTunes January 13th and features some of Biggie's classics as well as a few new tracks by Jay-Z, Jadakiss, and even features 3 unreleased demos from BIG just recently discovered.
