Last night at Madison Square Garden in New York, Alicia Keys performed “New York” as Swizz Beats and Jay Z joined her on stage to perform the track.
Check out the craziness above.-Dr.FB

In anticipation of her award-winning night at the Grammy’s, Beyonce sat for an interview with 60 Minutes’ Steve Kroft last Sunday to talk about her career and life. But not about her marriage to he-who-shall-not-be-named.
Does anyone else find it a little silly that she and Jay-Z go to such lengths to not acknowledge each other? I’m all for respecting their privacy and treating them as individuals with their own careers etc., but to work so hard at avoidance… I just don’t get it.
What do you guys think? Watch the interview and leave a comment. -Dr.FB

We are introducing a new segment to Drfunkenberry.com so we can bring you new music. Funk It or Dunk It?
Funk it if you like it. (Duh) Dunk it if you don’t.
The first song for this will be T-Pain featuring Young Jeezy “Reverse Cowgirl” and the title lets you know it won’t be award winning, but sometimes music is just made for fun and this is one of those tracks.
Audio clip: Adobe Flash Player (version 9 or above) is required to play this audio clip. Download the latest version here. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.
Guess Jay-Z was not right about D.O.A.
OK, lets vote:

This year’s Coachella Music Festival will be headlined by Jay-Z on Friday, Muse on Saturday and the Gorillaz on Sunday (April 16-18).
Sunday sounds like a good day – Sly and the Family Stone are also on the schedule. Though I’d rather cozy up to Prince’s 2008 Coachella performance on DVD. 
3-day passes ($269) go on sale this Friday at 10am. What do you guys think? Anyone on the lineup you’re dying to see? -Dr.FB

Robin Thicke performed at his release party for “Sex Therapy” in New York and was joined by Leighton Meester from “Gossip Girl” on stage.
Leighton and Robin have recorded “Somebody To Love” which we debuted a few months back. Robin’s new CD debuted yesterday and features a few tracks with Jay-Z.
Personally speaking, I don’t think Robin needed all the collaborations he has on the CD. It may have worked a few years ago, but Robin can sing and the whole rapping thing with him is not so good. When you can sing and have stage presence, you don’t need to rely so hard on the other things.
Have you picked up Sex Therapy or plan on picking it up?-Dr.FB

It’s rare when an artist tops The Beatles, but Eminem has done just that. Eminem has 2 cd’s in the top 10 of that list. The Beatles had the best selling CD of the Decade however.
Here is the top 10 list of artists and sales:
1. Eminem 32.2
2. The Beatles 30
3. Tim McGraw 24.6
4. Toby Keith 24.4
5. Britney Spears 22.9
6. Kenny Chesney 22
7. Linkin Park 21.4
8. Nelly 21.2
9. Creed 20.5
10. Jay-Z 20.3
Linken Park and Creed? Seriously? Hope none of you are NOT surprised by the amount of country artists who made the list as a majority of their fans buy the CD’s instead of downloading the music for free.
So how many people will admit to buying Creed CD’s? Where you at?-Dr.FB

Here is Alicia Keys doing a piano version of “Empire State Of Mind” without Jay-z and it titled “Empire State Of Mind II” and I am digging it!
Girl got runs! Check it out. When is L.A. going to get a tight song like this? Sorry, Randy Newmoon.
BTW, congrats to Jay-Z for having his FIRST ever number #1 song on the charts that don’t matter anymore Billboard charts.

The couple that was rumored to break up months ago is still together and took in the Jay-Z concert.
Justin Timberlake & Jessica Biel attended the Jay Z show at the Pauly Pavilion along with a beautiful Nicole Richie and Samantha Ronson and Jamie Foxx along with James Blunt.
From what we here, Jay-Z killed it and Samantha twittered that he brought NYC to LA.
Back to Jessica and Justin still together, I love to say I told you so, sooooo I told you so.-Dr.FB

Alex Rodriguez & Jay Z Hang Out. Photo: SplashNewsOnline.com
Your eyes do not deceive you. That is Jay Z behind Alex Rodriguez outside of Nellos in New York City. See what winning a world series does for you?
You gotta feel sorry for the girl who did not get her baseball signed..but then again, did she just happen to have a baseball in her purse if someone came out of that restaurant? Just saying.
Let’s face it, it’s A-Rod’s world, we are just living in it. An “Empire State Of Mind” indeed.-Dr.FB
