The 2nd Night

2nd Night

Found out about this show at about 5 am Sunday night and knew that when I got up, i was gonna campaign for someone to roll wit me but either way I was gonna go by myself if no one was gonna go. And I definitely knew I wasn't goin wit the dudes that I went with the night before. I decided that I would hit up someone that actually appreciates music for what it is and will enjoy the night. I hit up my boy Floyd who is an aspiring artist and figured after stalling his mixtapes for more than 4 months that this would push him to finish that shit.

The venue was mad secluded and was in the industrial district of Brooklyn. This place definitely had the best underground feel of any concert I've ever been to. It was in a room that probably barley fit 50-60 people.

This lineup was crazy and was way better than the other night minus DonWill. First of all, everyone fuckin killed that shit. Let me tell you: Prophit was fuckin crowd surfing. Yes, crowd surfing...he had that shit rockin. That had me like, I definitely fuck wit that shit right there. Emilio Rojas killed that shit too and I actually got to talk to him for a little bit since I had heard his fire mixtape The Natural. But the two main performances I was there for were Tiron & Ayomari and Children of the Night. Since Tiron is from Cali and doesn't have many performances out here, I HAD to see them both nights. I remember the day I stumbled upon one of the best mixtapes of '09 that I originally slept on for a couple weeks and then was like let me listen to this shit and it's been in HEAVY HEAVY rotation ever since. Big Ups to Tiron for spittin that real shit. My boy was talkin to me about Tiron's reference to buying size 6 shoes at payless so u don't have to go to men's sizes and pay more. That is some real shit. What about having to pay bills, but also wanting to look fresh as fuck. Then being like fuck it, Im gonna Throw this money. Children of the Night was fuckin crazy too. I also remember the day when I found their mixtape on 2dopeboyz and started listenin to it. It just happened to be the day before I was going into Queens for the weekend, so i managed to listen to the whole thing on the way and was just amazed lol. I was like this shit right here nigga... this shit right here! It just so happens that weird music related stuff happens to me like that like Ludacris's song "More, More, More"(His Birthday is 9/11 and in that song he spits about his birthday) playing on 9/11 and being the 11th song on random. But that night was one of the best concert nights ever and it will def be hard to top.

UNDERGROUND HIP-HOP LIVES!!!!!!!!!

The 1st Night

This was honestly two of the best concerts Ive ever been to. I mean its hard to beat out concerts like Rock the Bells and J. Cole but I thinks it might have.

1st night: Santos Party House

Took an hour train ride into the city wit two of my boys and got lifted a little bit before the show. I honestly went there to see Donwill(Tanya Morgan) and Tiron but everyone killed it. Tell the truth, I was tight that Von Pea wasn't there but its all good. It seemed that most of the people there were there for Homeboy Sandman. Don't really care for him but I do have a new found respect for him and will def listen to some of his shit. Fuckin Spree Wilson was gettin down on his Fender like he was dusted or something but music has that type of power over people which is why I love it so much. Overall, You don't get much better than a underground Hip Hop show(literally). The hard part about the night is that the two dudes I went with don't have the same appreciation for music as I do and they went thinking that it was gonna be a party wit dancing and shit so after the show,we ended up posting up in McDonald's for an hour trying to find a club to go to. Me, I don't really do clubs. Especially not any club where its gonna have some fist pumpin shit. FUCK THAT!!

J. Cole - Playground

I dare anyone to name a new artist with as much consistency as J. Cole. Very few artists come in the game and come out with 2 fire mixtapes. Besides that, he got signed to RocNation. No one in this new class has matched his success yet and im waiting on a couple to do so. Now all we have to do is wait for his album which I'm sure will an instant success, at least in terms of the underground circuit. With this music economy now, who knows? You know its trouble when

a group like Clipse has a problem selling over 50,000 albums. But anyway enjoy this new track produced by Elite. and remember "Real Ninjas do Real Things"
