If i were a fan spending $300 to get close enough to feel his sweat fall on me, I probably wouldn't really care either way, but back-row seats people - i know you hear me. You know, being the balanced critic that I am, (a luxury which I like to afford myself, as its waaayy easier than actually making 70 gazillion hit songs) , I was definitely let down.
DAYLIFE BMX FULL
I mean, its hard to knock a show that is stacked full of classic/soon-to-be-classic bangers, but even so, we're working somewhere in the ranges of 7.5 out of 10, definitely no higher than 6.5.
He's the dude in the orgy who is like: "Aight, who is licking on my toes?!" Īnyways, as I was saying so he's on top of the game killin everyone Rambo II style and for the top guy doin his 'on top show', Saltmaster Flash (that'd be me) kinda felt it wasn't all that great. So I was kinda excited for the show - not really our part of it, but more the 'everything but us' part. You may be familiar with them from such hit songs as "Every Other Song Played In A Nightclub" or the emotional ballad "If It's Not Playing Now, You'll Hear It Soon". So a couple weeks ago, Santi opened up for T.I. Todd Terry, Martha Wash, Jocelyn Brown (MAW).This mix is ALL VINYL - No MP3's, no represses. Big Up to Jamie and Aloe, and especially the mayor of LA, Havanna Joe for making it happen. LA showed me lots of love and I would like to thank everyone at the Do-Over (as if people read this blog), ya'll made me feel at home. Coincidentally, the week I played was the last installment of the Do-Over for the season so it was total blow out style with like, 8 DJ's including Dam Funk, J-Rocc, Peanut Butter Wolf, Madlib, and even detroit repper House Shoes showed up and played a few. Thrown by Stones Throw affiliates Aloe Black, Jamie Strong, and Chris Haycock, The Do-Over is a seasonal party that happens during the Summer, starts at 4 in the afternoon and is just simply about good music. I've been back a couple weeks now, but probably the best time I had while DJing in LA happened at this party, The Do-Over. Ripped from my homeboys CD collection at 320 to me art should be able to stand the test of time and not just some trend that you see some dudes do and you think hey i can do that too that shits cool.
( I've seen mad head sell out for cheap fame) by all means go and get yours but don't sell yourself short trying to achieve an imaginary place in a market who will only see you for the trend you are in. i am looking more forward t that than the circus of what we call the art market that will be hitting us in a few days. meaning come dressed out in your best 90s gear ( if you have some cross colors shit i suggest you bring that out) nautica jackets baggy jeans etc. speaking of hip hop not to go to much off topic, chocolate Sundays a party that most of us ( on the blog) dj at is having its regular monthly spelling bee this dec 7th and they are themeing it a 90s jam. i cannot say this year will be great but from what i have seen so far again. i do understand that art is a business in in order for the business to keep going you need to sell product, but it seems like there is a lack of quality but there is a lot more quantity.
it seems to me that there is a high lack of "interesting" art out there and by interesting i mean things with a nice deep conceptual base and technical skill, it seems to me that most of this has been replaced with stuff that's cool. I took the opportunity of posting a bit early and getting some things off my chest about this and the past few years of art basel.
