There's only one thing I have to say to all the wack Detroit kids who
attended the Jeru/DJ Shadow show at the Majestic on April 18: Ya gots no
stylo!?! Kids stood around looking like they were lost the whole time.
There was a select few of us headz near the stage rockin' the party but
the rest just acted like it was background music.
All in all, the show fell a little short. Jeru kept having to ask the
crowd, "Do you want me to go or do you want me to flow?" To which the
feeble ones would mumble, "Flow, I guess."
Lateef and Lyrics Born took the stage "rage rumblin'" with Shadow. The
shit was hype! Of course, Detroit didn't know what to think, but fuck
'em. Lateef is probably one of the tightest lyricists I've heard live in
a while.
Hey, anyone else go to a better Jeru/Shadow show? Tell me about it, I
need to hear about some real love to put it in perspective. Peace.
