Yeah the DMC competition was of the hook... those DJs were
fucking amazing. I liked Craze he definitely earned the title but
some other nice ones include DEvelop from NY and this kid from
ST Louis who had mad creative styles. He did this thing where with
one record he was cuttin a beat and with the other he was picking up and
dropping the needle at different places in the record to create a
melody
Another Highlight was do boy's incredible beat juggle where he used
the backspin as a drum fill
U forgot to mention the MC of the evening - Lord Finesse
And DiamonD was up in the spot also
The first hip hop act that played was NonPhixion - I wasnt crazy into them
but I like their chorus for I Shot Reagan:
" I shot Reagan, the fuckin pagan ate falafel with Menachem Begin"
I thought sir menelik was even worse. That was the worst part of the evening
Finally, last nite I was spinning at a bar and who shows up but Tony, the
middle aged Brit who organized the whole event. He was cool - said he
liked my beats, and genuinely wanted to know what I thought of the event -
so I told him all that was written above.
np - tapes I made from KCR's South Asian music festival. Am trying to obtain
a playlist and will post to list.
peace,
