OTR Performance

Few artists can say that they wrote a hit song and even fewer can say that they created a bona fide anthem. Talib Kweli’s got both of those bases covered with ‘Get By,’ a motivational soundtrack to the lives of strugglers and strivers the world over.

"Friends ... how many of us have them ...?" If you're an old head or just into old school hip-hop, you remember that question from Whodini's 1984 classic 'Friends.' We've already looked at Nas and MF Doom's respective takes on the song and now we get another clever interpretation from Meshell Ndegeocello for our Off the Record Series.

Watch Meshell Ndegeocello cover Nick Drake's 'Pink Moon' for The Boombox's Off the Record series.

You’ve probably never heard the words “fine” and “OK” sound as ominous as they sound in Meshell Ndegeocello’s performance of her song ‘Continuous Performance’ for our Off the Record video series.
