Man, the magic of TV. First of all...

-How the HELL can MTV2 put up "Live" in the right hand corner, when I'm at home at 9pm watching myself in the crowd? That's kinda shady. At least say "taped in front of a live studio audience" like they did on "Good Times". :)

-The show was tight, but they did edit a lot of dopeness out. I was tripping how they mixed everything up, cause Thought's shirt was soaked on the second song, then it was dry as a bone on one of the last joints. :) I'm so glad they kept the Common/Thought breakdance battle in there. That was classic! Especially when Com hit the Windmill....

-Jill was amazing. Amazing. And the Roots destroyed it...as usual. I'm really digging the addition of the guitar player (can somebody provide a name?) When he hit "Under the Bridge" everybody lost it!

-Cody Chestnutt was ill as hell...smilin' and chewing that gum, singing about fertilizing the bush...

-And Common's "Baby Blue Knitted Forearm Guards" were the best...

Great show!!!!

Is it just today or things are
