Nas, Battling DJs And Asia's Biggest Pop Star Get Together For Earthquake Relief

Posted 7/14/08 7:54 pm EST by in dance, Music

A DJ battle, a hip-hop dance-crew face-off and a surprise guest appearance by Nas, all in the name of an important cause.

Radio and television personality Miss Info hosted an event called "Rebuilding the Bridge" on Saturday night at New York's Pace University. The charity event was to raise relief funds for the Sichuan earthquake disaster, with proceeds going to the Mercy Corps.

Just Blaze was the DJ for the night, and Nas showed up not only to support the function, but to give props to one of the night's honorees: Rik Cordero.

Nas applauded the music-video director, who recently shot clips for Nas' records "Sly Fox" and "Be a N---er Too."

"Your vision captured everything I wanted to say," Nas said, addressing Cordero in front of the sold-out crowd at Pace's Michael Schimmel Center. " ... We're like the same dude, man."

Miley Cyrus Steps Up The AC/DC Vs. M&M Dance Battle

Posted 6/11/08 3:59 pm EST by in dance, youtube

In a world — cue dramatic underscore — where 30-second videos rule the Internet, Miley Cyrus has officially changed the airwaves (Inter-waves?) with her latest 10-minute answer to the AC/DC dance crew.

The story began two months ago when Adam Sevani (Moose from "Step Up 2: The Streets") and Jon Chu (the movie's director) challenged Miley to "the biggest online dance battle in YouTube history." Miley and her friend Mandy responded with a counterstrike set to Madonna's "Four Minutes," but Chu's retaliation involved celebs including Adam Sandler, Brittany Snow, Diana Ross, Chris Brown and Lindsay Lohan.

Given M&M's far less star-studded video, it had to be over, right?

Well, yesterday — two months from the day it started — Milez and Manderz released another video, one that features appearances by Joey Fatone, Carson Daly, Ryan Seacrest, Michael and Julian Rapaport, Channing Tatum (in Prague!), Chris Kattan and Pedro from "Napoleon Dynamite," not to mention a totally creepy magic trick by David Blaine.

In the words of crackerjack cameraman Brendan Kennedy (who tipped us off to the battle): "I LOVE IT. Oh, and it kept my attention-deficit-ridden brain for all 9:59 of it."

And it's still not over! Watch the latest vid to find out how the crews are going to settle this beef once and for all.

Who do you think will win? AC/DC have some crazy moves, but M&M have, well, Miley.
