First and foremost check the new pic....It's "The End of The Beginning"...Yes, yes
Not much to say. I've let this week slip by me, however I can't let next week slip past because it's going to be extremely busy. I'm gonna be at two shows next weekend, and I believe most of the cats from HHDX will be at another. So if you're going to a show next weekend chances are you'll see somebody from the Best Damn Hip Hop Site Period. First of all Friday I'm gonna be at the Key Club here in Los Angeles. My dudes Somobe are gonna be in the LAC, they'll be performing with the Liks. $20 bucks gets you in for a clash of Lyricism smoothed out on the Jazz tip, and the amped up party crashing Liks. If you don't know who the Alkaholiks are, you either;
A. Don't live in Los Angeles anywayz
B. Aren't Hip Hop
You seen the videos of Somobe when I hit the show in Vegas. What other emcee do you know will stop spitting to catch wreck on the sax? Come on man, you can't miss this. I'll be there, drunk, cuz I mean it is a Likwit Crew function.
The next day (post-hangover) it's out to the middle of nowhere, San Bernadino CA, for Paid Dues Festival. The crazy thing is, this time last year, I was at Paid Dues repping another site.(which, with the departure of the only cat doing his thing over there, shall remain nameless) After seeing HHDX banners everywhere and hollering at J-23, BAM, I'm down with the baddest mfers on the net. After a year of having other sites bite my shit, having my shit posted on message boards all over the net, meeting dope artists, and actually hollering at some of my favorite lyricists out, I'm even more amped up. The Paid Dues Line-Up is:
Sage Francis
Little Brother
Jedi Mind Tricks
Living Legends
Dilated Peoples
Boot Camp Clik with Black Moon
Kool Keith
Heiroglyphics
Fat Lip and Omni
POS
A Team
Mac Lethal
Visionaires
Yak Ballz
B Dolan
Isiah
and of course Murs
I'm trying to see if anybody else from the site will be there to wreak havoc with me, but a lot of the cats from the site will be holding it down at another show, A3C, which will feature the following acts:
The Re-Up Gang
Del the Funky Homosapien
Blu and Ta'Raac are C.R.A.C
MUTHAFUCKIN TANYA MORGAN (extra emphasis added for good reason)
Guilty Simpson
Wale
Little Brother
Jeru The Damaja
Aceyalone
Akrobatik
Hanger 18
etc. etc.
This will be taking place all weekend out there in the ATL in the CW Midtown Complex, so if you're down there check that out. I'd say the line-ups are even, but if I could trade Sage Francis and Jedi Mind Tricks for Blu and Tanya Morgan...I'd win by a mile.
