Apparently my disparaging review of the Jay Electronica show with Mos Def at the Nokia Theatre in Times Square last night has touched a nerve or two. In addition to the comments on my post from last night, blogs The Full Clip and GRANDGOOD referenced my review of the show. I was pleased to see that both reviews seemed to admit that Jay had made mistakes in his performance, as opposed to simply chiding the audience and claiming that they were too stupid to get it. There are a few discussions of the show taking place on the Okayplayer message board and another review of the show courtesy of Parlour. I’ve said just about as much as I care to on the show itself, but it’s interesting to see the different opinions on this guy who clearly has not honed his talents as a performer.

I took a look at the fullclip. Is it appropriate for you to post a comment accusing someone of copyright theft? You could have emailed the owner before you posted such a comment. I understand that he violated, but common courtesy still exists to save people from embarrassment.
Copyright infringement is a serious and widespread problem on the internet these days. As a photographer, I have to be on top of unauthorized use of my work. I see that he has fixed the usage, so I will happily edit my post. You make a good point, though, so thanks.
