Jay-Z on Saturday Night Live (SNL w/Betty White)

Jay-Z (and Mr. Hudson) came through the SNL stages and ripped through a medley of his hits, introduced by the much-anticipated host for the evening, Ms. Betty White. The CEO of the ROC re-introduced himself and embarked on a flurry of his catalog bangers, including “PSA”, “On To The Next One”, “99 Problems”, and fittingly, “Empire State of Mind” with the lovely and talented Bridget Kelly rocking the chorus.

Me, I was out on Long Island, removing myself from the hip hop world for a quick minute, checking out my friends in the fabulous female-fronted indie rock band The Rosies at a little spot out in East Bubblefukk Northport. The Rosies did their thing, and I recommend them to all you Birthplace visitors who have a musically open mind.

Back to the rap world, Mr. Hudson joined Hov on stage for part 2 of the night’s musical performance, for their duo, “Young Forever”. The performances were strong, but I kinda regret missing Betty White do her thing. Twitter tells me she was pretty good, so I’ll have to check the replays before I drift of into ear-ringing sleep (thanks to the aforementioned Rosies).
