Okay, I think I'm well on my way to becoming the Tony Kornheiser of hip-hop (i.e. the old guy who can't stay up late for anything). The other night I bailed (sort of) early on the Knitting Factory show due to fatigue, thus missing seeing the God Rakim Allah take it to the stage. (Parenthood will do that to ya.)
While I was still in the building, however, one of the pleasant, if briefer, surprises of the evening (the others being Homeboy Sandman's acapella "Big Band Theory," Brand Nubian's unannounced set, and the Legion bringing out Dres for an impromptu "Jingle Jangle") was Psycho Les spontaneously dropping his verse from "Are You Ready" over the Bill Doggett OG during his 10 allotted minutes of DJ time. I don't know - I thought it was pretty cool even though there's no discernible audience reaction in this video (starts 1:35 in). Kids - feh.

See...if it had been "Off the Books" though... :)
i like that he did that. it's mad dope to see that kind of stuff happen.
Reminds me of how this past Saturday at the Rub loft party, D-Nice just up and performed "Call Me D-Nice" at the end of his set. Just "another one of them things" you might witness in New York in a sense.
