IM SOOO ICEY!



DUNK RIOT!!


Rap for Relief Recap: Arrived late missed the earlier acts..got just in time to see a plus-size J-live trying to amp the half-assed crowd. I made my way through the back, to see who was in attendance..My first thought is "Why there a masseuse backstage at BB Kings?" My next thought was, "What could that conversation between C-Rayz Walz and Big Kap be like?
As i continue through the back corridor i begin to recognize the faces: I see Mr Cheeks, i see Mr Eon and Mighty Mi, i see Rahzel, and im instantly thinking this is some rap "surreal life" show. In the back holding stacks of records under one arm, and a plate full of food in the other, i see the legend, The Chocolate Boy Wonder. After a brief intro and lbs, i bumped into a dude i haven't seen in ages. So after I got my Pataki on (politicking) I heard Pete was making his way to the stage, so i jetted back to the side of the stage to peep his set. So Pete goes through 2-3 joints (CL Smooth-less), and then brings Mr Cheeks+entorouge on stage. Im thinking ok, there was Mr. Cheeks, there was Freaky Tah (RIP), but there was a 3rd dude in the LBs...what was his name?!! Imma leave it off, and see if anyone else remembers this one..cause i was stumped for a good half hour on it. So as the set came to a close Evil Dee popped up stage-side and shared with me some of the things he's got popping off: Wax42 show, Power 105 in NYC, Power 104 in CT, and the Sunday night jawn @ Joe's Pub. We traded info's and hopefully i can get Dee to throw down on an interview or something. I left shortly after Pete's set--and missed the bigger of the acts: Buckshot, Dougie Fresh, Rahzel. I think i came to the realization this crowd wasn't a fit for the acts promoting when no one knew the words to Pete Rock's music, but sung along to the Eminem the DJ was playing in between sets...Have i gotten that old?!
