Ghostface, Slick Rick, The Rub Battle, Aron the Don & Amsterdam
Last night I took Aron to see Ghostface, Slick Rick, Papoose & M1. DJ Premier was on the wheels and hurt em with the 1990s hits. Live n Direct put on the show and sold Nokia Theater the fuck out. It was dope, but I can see why Papoose has been booed of many a NYC stage. No offense but when you come out to the party your first song should be with a john blaze beat. This dude came out acapella on some hush hush booorrrrring. Slick Rick and Ghost killed it. Although, I did see Ghost at SXSW this year in Austin Texas and he performed to an audience of about 287 people at the Levis house. It was the most intimate and sincere rap show I may have ever seen. So nothing could really top that.
Speaking of SXSW….My dear friends/peers/DJs of THE RUB got into this major battle in downtown Austin while we were there. I was standing right there on the corner until I noticed DJ Ayres taking off all his gear and I ran like a pussy to get Catchdubs and Cosmo. HA! Anyways the video of the now infamous fight made it on Youtube. Check out your boy, Spankrock retelling the battle with that thick Bmore accent and Teki of TTC with the Parisian commentary. I love these boys.
After the Ghostface/Nokia Theater Jumpoff we went to Lit where Kid America and Kier were Djing. Aron and Kid A set up the plan for worldly domination and their Amsterdam High in Holland Trip. I’m tryin to go, so if aNYone wants to buy me a ticket I promise to smoke all your weed when we get there. Let’s make a deal.
