I like how I’m so busy/tired these days that I upload my own footage and forget to post it on TAOD until I see it on other blogs. Whoopsidoodle.
Much like the Asher Roth footage I posted last week, here’s a medley documenting Cudi’s performance in front of 15K people at our Summer Jam from the end of last month. After coming out to his intro, he ran through joints like “Dat New New,” “Is There Any Love,” “Sky High,” “Make Her Say,” and “Day N Nite.” I’ll have more SJ footage soon, plus interviews with Cudi and Asher as well. Stay tuned…
Those of you in Washington (or stalking my Twitter) probably heard that we had our annual Summer Jam concert yesterday at White River Amphitheater with performances by the New Boyz, Asher Roth, Kid Cudi, The-Dream, Pitbull, Flo Rida, Sean Paul, Akon, and Ludacris. Usually, I have nightmares of these days because it’s a fun event for the audience, but generally really hectic to work. Last year was a painful double dose as I spent the entire day registering voters for the Obama campaign (we put onnnnn) and then running around backstage interviewing cats. This year was a lot more relaxing as I spent the majority of the time chilling with my two favorite acts on the bill, Asher and Cudi, and their folks.
We’ll have interviews coming soon with those two, but in the meantime, I grabbed some footage of Asher’s performance for y’all. Peep the video above to see him, Brain, and Wreckineyez run through a few joints from Asleep In The Bread Aisle, including “She Don’t Wanna Man,” “Be By Myself,” and of course, “I Love College.” For more Summer Jam footage hitting the net all week, keep your eyes on this page.
I highly recommend checking out the Great Hangover Tour with Asher, Cudi, Pac Div, and B.o.B if it hasn’t hit your town yet. I’m slightly salty that we didn’t get the full lineup here in Seattle, but SJ with 1/2 of it was dope too. Anyway, peep it…you won’t be disappointed.
