i went to the dj shadow and jeru show on thurs at the tla. i was very
disappointed, and rather embaressed for them!!! i had one of my friends
with me. here i was trying to expand her horizens and get her into some
cool music, and we ended up leaving! now i understand the philly crowd
is not one which shows brotherly love, but please did we deserve jeru's
bitchin'? he came out on the stage bitchin' because we weren't chanting
for him, "yo, i already got paid!" does he have a script for this tour?
he was yelling at the crowd to shut up, and started cursing at us
because someone laughed? i finally left when he started slaming his own
dj for missing a beat or something! please, if i want to be insulted
like that i'll start calling ex's!

dj shadow was terrific! latyrix was pretty cool, i thought their
free--style was pretty bumpin'. the crowd wasn't into them at all, but
who can rap over shadow with out falling short of the challenge?
