Run the Jewels’ performance at the Jefferson Theater Sunday, Nov. 2 delivered many of the same things as their sophomore album: a monumental, triumphant punch in the face. Elbows were thrown, beers were spilled and toes were trampled as the crowd instantaneously became a mob the moment rap veterans El-P and Killer Mike came on stage.

As part of the University’s commemoration of Black History Month, the University Program Council’s Cinematheque Committee partnered with the Office of African-American Affairs and the University chapter of the NAACP last weekend in presenting a double feature of “Fruitvale Station” and “12 Years a Slave.” The films focused on images of violence against African-Americans and the systematic marginalization of African-Americans in the United States in disturbing and poignant ways.

Beck’s 20-year career hit its high water mark with 2002’s incredible “Sea Change.” A stark deviation from Beck’s signature quirks and experimentalism, its poignant, heartbroken lyrics intertwined with simple acoustic arrangements still resonate. The haunting orchestral arrangements of song “Lonesome Tears” comprise one of Beck’s finest musical moments, throbbing of deep heartbreak and anguish.

Since the release of their debut studio album “Eyelid Movies” in 2009, Phantogram has built a noticeable grassroots following through extensive touring campaigns, playing with the likes of The Antlers, The xx, Beach House and Ra Ra Riot. Since then, the synth-pop duo from New York has released “Nightlife” in 2011, an EP that spawned the critically acclaimed “Don’t Move;” collaborated with Outkast’s Big Boi and The Flaming Lips; and now have landed a song on “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” soundtrack.

By the time I was 14, I had discovered a world of music outside the endless homogenous stream of Top 40 radio singles. Within a year, I transformed into the indie elitist that I am today: “Katy Perry’s songs are all the same,” “Hip-hop has become lazy and too commercial,” “You’ve probably never heard of this band” and “What’s your favorite Radiohead album?” were some of my favorite phrases.

A$AP Rocky is a textbook case of a budding musician in the Internet age: His series of music videos on YouTube in 2011, including “Purple Swag” and “Peso,” garnered attention from record labels and led to a $3 million contract with Polo Grounds/RCA Records. After obtaining critical success, fashion deals, musical festival performances and world tours including Drake’s World Paradise Tour, Rocky primed the world for his debut studio album, originally slated for release in July 2012.

Nashville is ABC’s attempt to contribute to the new trend of musical dram-com TV shows and movies that have emerged since the creation of FOX’s Glee. But Nashville sets itself apart from its predecessors: It’s not catered toward the usual pre-teen/teen demographic most musical TV shows try to capture. Critics have already heaped praise on the show, which brought in almost 9 million viewers for its Oct. 10 series premiere.

After listening to G.O.O.D. Music’s Cruel Summer, my very first thought was that Kanye West did not need to make this album. West’s fifth studio album, My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, was the best-reviewed record in several years. Then, less than 10 months later, he teamed up with Jay-Z on Watch the Throne, which quickly became a cultural landmark — did anyone even say words like “cray” or “HAM” before? — and a defining moment in hip-hop history.
