Mick Boogie X Terry Urban X Lemar and Dauley Present: 20 years of de La Soul

The new mini-documentary NY-Z captures one of the biggest shows of 2009 — Jay-Z’s September 11th Answer the Call concert at New York’s Madison Square Garden — and the hours leading up to the big performance. Shot in black-and-white like iconic Big Apple odes Manhattan and The Naked City, director Danny Clinch’s short doubles as a behind-the-scenes look at Jay-Z’s life and the rapper’s love letter to the city that serves as his “muse,” from his earliest recollections of NYC to how it feels to sell out “the World’s Greatest Arena.”

In the video, recorded the day The Blueprint 3 was released, we see Jigga performing his hit “Empire State of Mind” during an empty sound check and later in front of thousands at a packed MSG. John Mayer cameos to explain how his team-up with Jay on “D.O.A.” came about — thanks Twitter! — as well as discuss what New York City means to him. The film is so engrossing, it’s actually possible to forget that it is a long-form ad for Absolut Vodka until Jigga is seen downing a shot in the closing minutes.

Brittany Street has been flying under the radar for a little while. I first heard her about four years ago when The Patio was still around. I recall watching this diminutive lady approach the stage and thinking, “OK, she’s gonna be serious.” She attacked the microphone with an undeniable energy, and her voice cut through the chaos of the club: “I GOT MY SWAG BACK!” We were !all seeing her for the first time and she seized the opportunity to OWN us. She won.

Brittany is still the most potent female MC in Naptown. She’s actually top-tier with any rapper, regardless of gender. She can go from ferocious boom-bap to heartfelt R&B in a snap. She walks a fine line between “diva” and “home girl” with class and skill.

You’ll have a chance to see Brittany Street at the Jay-Z concert after-party March 20 at Mo’s Steakhouse, 47 S. Pennsylvania St. DOPE Couture will introduce its spring line. On the decks: alpha.live, DJ Indiana Jones and DJ Limelight. Jay’s band, The Roc Boys and DJ Neil Armstrong will be in the house. It will be the hottest thing going on Downtown.

Pre-sale tickets are $20; for information, call (317) 624-0720.
