Bling

Shout out to everybody who came threw last night to see the Scion feature Independent film “Bling: A Planent Rock”

Once a month from Sept 07 – Dec 07, we’ll be showing a different independent film and bringing the director to ATL for a Q&A. Check www.scion.com/route to RSVP yourself for these events. And dont say I didnt tell you about it.

Bling – is definitely a Must See! It’s a documentary that takes Paul Wall, Tego Calderon, and Raekwon toSierra Leonne, Africa to explore how the civil war of the country was fueled by the diamond trade and thousands of innocent people were killed, had limbs amputated, and terrorized for control over these shinny rocks we call “Bling”

If you didn’t get a chance to come threw you and purchase a copy, you can catch it at Amazon.com and other fine retailers online and off. Shout out too Racquel Cepeda (Director of Bling) and Raekwon The Chef (who is featured in the movie) for holding it down!

If you missed it, your a sucka, Bottom Line!!! Check the pics…

Shout out to the homie OZ B (Sierra Leonne Representing).

Common and Q Tip 2K Sports Tour 07

Hip Hop on a Monday? On the first of October the 2K Sports Bounce Tour invaded ATL. In case you dont remember last years tour featured A Tribe Called Quest / Consequence / and Rhymefest (Great Show by the way). So this years show had some big shoes to fill, and it did just that.

Shout out to the homie Mumblezz who was in town for the event. And shout out to Percee P (Congrats on the new album), A real humble dude as well, and a beast of an Emcee!!!

I’ve never seen Q Tip perform solo, so I was surprised by his set and more suprised that he brought Dj Scratch with him. The highlight of his set is when he brought 2 people from the auidence up on stage to do Phifes verses from “Check The Rhyme.” He brought a girl and a guy up to help. The girl went first, and when she did know the words was Booooed off Quick! lol. The guy held it down Flawslessy, and had the whole place going crazy. You could definitely tell it was dream to be a stage trading verses with Q Tip.

Com Sense killed the show!!! I missed him when he was in Atlanta a few weeks earlier at Opera, so I was really looking forward to the show. I will go on record and say this now — “COMMON HAS THE BEST ONE MAN STAGE SHOW IN HIP HOP, PERIOD.” His energy is Insane! and for those who have never performed before, Its not as easy as it may seem. Being on stage is a very Mental and Physical act.

Sidebar: Also Congrats to Com for winning a BET Award this year, and for also showing the mainstream that music can still be positive and be commercially successful! And for helping to bring light skin brothas back in style, Appreciate ya Bruh! Lol.

Sneaker Pimps: September 22nd, 2007

This past Saturday was the 4th Annual Sneaker Pimps Tour in Atlanta. I remember vividly the very first one to take place in ATL in the small space of More Dusty Than Digital (R.I.P.) in Little Five Points. There was just some custom kicks, a Dj, a small bar, and about 100 people.

After that the event moved to MJQ for year 2, The Loft for year 3 (which feat a performance by Kool Keith), and now year 4. 

The venue was the Atlanta Contemporary Art Center, which I’ve past several times but have never been inside of. After only about 2 minutes of being inside I am informed by Dj Creashun (CE Crew) that somebody there looks just like me – and he just ran up on that person thinking it was me. At first I laughed it off, but as the night progressed more and more people approached me saying this person resembled me a lot.  Finally after the 10th person told me this, I decided to find this guy – D Woods snapped the pic, and I wanted to post it to see what you think? Does every skinny light skin brotha with a fitted on look like me?

There was a stage outside, a half pipe (skateboard ramp) inside, and what seemed like 500 custom kicks. Everywhere you turned seemed to be a new experience.

One of the highlights for the night was the amount of ladies who came threw with fresh kicks. Around midnight the Clipse took the stage and ran threw their hits along with random mixtape tracks. We also caught Malice (Clipse) on the Ramp getting it in.

Dj’s Lord and Tiger Lilly head down the sounds for most of the evening.

Shout out to D Woods, Freddie, Nita, Dave Jeff (Phli), Steve (New Era), Peter, Brady, Mike, Young Joc, Kenny Burns, Jerrell, Greg Street, Cope 2 (KD / NYC KING) and everybody else that I bumped into that evening. Everyone had a Wonderful time and can wait for Sneaker Pimps 5!

Remix Hotel: September 20 – 22nd

Remix Hotel came threw ATL this weekend downtown at the SAE Institute.

The celebration for the 10th Annual Atlantis Music Conference also took place this weekend.

The weekend started off on Thursday night with the Beat Source Beat Battle. Shout out to Walstreet who took home the big check. After the battle Talib Kweli popped out and ripped it down with a short set. Nobody outside of the Remix people really knew about the show. – Sorry didn’t take any pics.

The SAE Institute is FRESH, nice place, lots of space!  I didn’t get a chance to hang out there much but I made it threw on Friday evening and caught up with the new homie Francois from Denver. THE BEAT SOURCE MODELS WERE CRAZY!!!! CHECK THE PIC.

There was a panel with Hank Shocklee (Bombsquad / Public Enemy) – If you don’t know Google him. The Bombsquad changed the game for Hip Hop in the late 80’s / early 90’s sound of music.
