It's been almost 10 years since Miri Ben-Ari's "hip-hop classics" performance blew the roof off the famed Apollo Theatre. Later named an "Apollo Legend," Ben-Ari went on to tour with Kanye West, and she also appeared on numerous artists' tracks throughout the early and mid-2000's. While her striking beauty and musicianship would seem to be a formula for success, the world was never quite ready for a hip-hop violinist. I personally hope to see her make it to headliner status, but I'm prepared to replay this grainy footage over and over. Yeah, it's a new-generation classic... and it's the first of many best-evers to grace this blog.
