Joell Ortiz Covers Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting" [VIDEO]

On the last clip from Slaughterhouse, we saw Crooked I randomly bust out in song, and last night Joell Ortiz took things a step further. Since Ashley Outrageous captured the moment, I'll let her explain:

Smack in the middle of Slaughterhouse's high-energy performance in Ft. Lauderdale at Revolution Live, Royce Da 5'9" asked Joell Ortiz to perform his rendition of Michael McDonald's "I Keep Forgetting" for the crowd to see. This, sh*t, was, hilarious! He didn't go out alone either, Joe Budden was kind enough to back him up with old school dance moves, ha!

Shady 2.0 SXSW Showcase With 50 Cent, Slaughterhouse, Action Bronson, STS, Don Trip & The Foodchain [Live Stream]

Fuse has really been on point with these live streams. Sure they won't compare to the actual SXSW experience, but the fact that you can still watch some of the biggest shows at the festival for free is a great alternative. Tonight 50 Cent is performing Get Rich Or Die Trying in its entirety for the first time ever, right after Slaughterhouse, Action Bronson, Don Trip, STS and Food Chain take the stage. I'm most excited to see STS rock the stage tonight!

Stop Sleeping: Joell Ortiz

Had it not been for the internet, I probably wouldn't be familiar with Brooklyn rapper Joell Ortiz.  I remember in 2006 when he was signed to Aftermath and lived in talented rapper purgatory until he got let out of his contract in 2008.  Luckily, Joell is a natural born hustler and chose to grind independently, building his Yaowa fan base across the country.  I love Joell Ortiz because you can tell he's putting everything he's got into his music.  He's hungry and his lyrics, well they speak for themselves.

Now 1/4 of the supergroup Slaughterhouse, Ortiz has a group deal with Aftermath (go figure) and is still killing the game through tours and tracks like his newest, "Seven Deuce." Stop sleeping and listen to the track after the jump.
