Meka, Shake & Lexx Do QN5 Megashow


August 30, 2007 | Tags: Hip Hop, qn5, meka sighting

A little name dropping never hurt anyone haha … and I wasn’t lying … Meka/Shake/Lexx really did hang out … I must admit it was a while ago, but since I’m either lazy or too busy the blog post didn’t make it until now.

The night before the San Bernardino (see: Devore) Rock the Bells we ventured to The Roxy in LA for the QN5 Megashow. If you have no idea who QN5 is … get familiar © Clinton Sparks. The entire roster was at the event … Session, Substantial, Mr. SOS, PackFM, Domingo (host), DJ JS-1, Tonedeff … yea! So let’s get into this … a little picture fun for the masses.
Why not start it off with a shot of Shake and Meka (face hidden upon request hahaha)



And moving on to myself and my lovely lady (some might know her as “Lexx” here)


(looks like she REALLY wants my glow stick .. am I right?)

Now after those shots … we must of forgot we had a camera as I’m looking through the camera I don’t see any pics of the first few sets haha … DJ Drama … err … Session rocked his set … followed by a Mr. SOS solo … Substantial got on and did his thang … new album dropping soon, single is dope …

Now PackFM gets on stage and the hypeness (hype + ness) instantly grew. The man jumped off the stage and just rocked in the middle of the crowd …




Poison Pen (the Bedstuy Best Buy) brought his hippo-sized self in the mix as well and almost started a riot … this is hip hop … ROCKIN a crowd for the love of music, not just standing in one spot reciting your shit … fuck that!



iCon the Mic King couldn’t make the trip to LA so for his collab with PackFM they performed it via webcam …



Not familiar with PackFM check out Click Clack Spray … a must have for any graf artist.

The man of the night (atleast for me) … pause, tonedeff (no spaces) was up next … Meka hadn’t heard much (if any) of this man’s music and judging by his response he was blown away (I’m still sending those albums man!) And anyone that is in the same boat as him ... take a listen to this Champion Freestyle and try and say the man can’t flow … dude is a monster.




Pulling some random chick on stage to perform Pervert was just great stuff. Rapping directly to the va-jay-jay >>> ______



I had never seen tonedeff live and I was blown away by how much energy and charisma the dude has on stage. The fact that he can rhyme the same way he does on albums is ridiculous. Going through some fan favorites he had the crowd by the throat for sure. Extended F@mm joined him on stage … instead of me explaining who is in the group … I’ll allow the big homie Squiggy to tell you. Get em Squiggy!

Extended F@mm as a whole all did their thing … do yourself and take listen to Velocity… the title says it all … Jeeeebus.

Now before E F@mm left the stage tone felt the need to attempt a crowd surf. It failed miserably (both times) as the weak fans couldn’t hold him up.



Tone then went on to go through some deeper songs, Porcelain being another of my favorites.

Now as a segue for the headlining Cunninlynguists … the lights dimmed and tone performed The Gates … a song about a racist firefighter that dies in a fire … then proceeds to speak with God trying to speak his case and how he saved EVERY one only to be questioned about his motives.



tone is rejected into heaven and is cursed to hell … which leads to the following song off Cunninlynguists album A Piece of Strage. The same song they start their set with … Hellfire!


(KNO … this man is a fuckin GENIUS on the boards … hear the Jay-Z - White Albulum? This is him)

Deacon the Villain ...



Trick Daddy ... err ... Natti



Again .. another rapper in the crowd (it HAS to be some sort of inner circle rule with them)



Mr. SOS comes out to join his old group to perform some joints off Southernunderground. Namely the heart wrenching Rain. Tonedeff joined them again on stage for another track called Love Ain't



Now for the highlight of the night … Pack had told me there was a special guest but wouldn’t reveal it … so as the night was almost over I was getting antsy … the beat for Seasons came on and damn … me and Meka lost it … a legend came out on stage. Who? Mr. Sittin on Chrome himself, Masta Ace!



He performed Born to Roll and it was something else.



Ok … so this is a LOOONG blog post and hopefully some enjoyed it. And I also hope the people who aren’t familiar with QN5 atleast have a good idea of who they are and want to continue their learning. I only uploaded 64k bitrate versions of the songs out of respect for PackFM and the rest … if you want the full quality joints … buy em! Support REAL hip hop!
