Amateur footage of Kendrick Lamar performing "Cut You Off" live at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY. This video shot on an inexpensive digital cam, which doesn't focus well on moving targets and tends to record poor audio in indoor venues. The video quality is pretty wack, but the audio is better than I expected, though not fantastic. Either way, this video is a good glimpse at what you missed if you weren't in Southpay last night (Friday Jun 17th, 2011). Kendrick Lamar killed it as did Nitty Scott MC, YC the Cynic and Jah C and the Antidote who organized the event and performed first. Jersey MC, Apollo the Great, was a special guest, who did his thing to mixed effect before Kendrick's set. The crowd wasn't really feeling his semi-generic, though mostly solidly delivered (he probably could've spit louder), lyrics, but, fortunately  for him and everybody in attendance, Brooklyn's own Sean Price hopped on stage to save the day. It definitely turned a negative into a positive, though Apollo the Great definitely gained far fewer fans than everyone else performing last night. Any damage was further minimized by Kendrick Lamar following his performance with one that was definitely way more memorable.
