New York, New York - Day 7

I did a few little pieces of running around today but in all honesty, there was one major event that deserved all my blogging time. The Crooklyn Dodgers reunion... Yes, thats right. Masta Ace, Special Ed, Buckshot, Jeru, Chubb Rock and OC all doing solo performances AND performing both Crooklyn Dodgers Pt 1 and 2 together... oh and Evil D, Preemo and Alil Shaheed Mohamed on deck!.... this was possibly the best thing ive ever seen in my life... EVER!


The event took place in Prospect Park in the middle of Brooklyn. London could actually learn a lot from this, there were two thousand people in an open space at a hip hop event in the middle of the hood.... no fights, no stabbings and noone got shot. Why can this happen in Brooklyn but not London? Chip fu kicked it off and literally broke the place up when he did La Shmoove. EMC came on next and did there thing... i actually forget the order for the whole day b ut Special Ed did "I got it made" Chubb Rock did a whole party set while the dj cut up old school breaks and reggae before launching into "Treat em Right" and literalling destroying the park... Evil D rocked through Black Moon classics while Buckshot tore it down. Preemo Spun a half hour Gangstarr set, Then brought OC out... Jeru killed it.... wow... it was just to much...


I also got to hang out with a couple of Brooklyn Locals!... the one and only DJ Premier....


Jeru The Damaja and Brand Nubians Sadat X.....


The one and only Evil D from Black Moon who ill be spinning with tommorow night!...


BDI Buckshot!..


And the legendary Masta Ace....

Honestly, i know i try and not take these posts to seriously but in this case, i need to be real... I LOVE this shit from the bottom of my heart, i know for a fact that even when im 60 i will be listening to these guys. If u would have told me at 15 years old that i would not only get to meet these guys but some of them would be my peers and actually know me and respect me for what i do.. i would have jumped out a window!... This is all ive ever wanted to do and to be in the position that im in right now is a massive blessing... To witness something like this today was amazing!... Big ups to Sucio Smash as well cause it was nice to see that i wasnt the only DJ in the house who was just straight up on some geeked out fan shit!!! lol...


So after everybody rocked and the night came to a close... Ali shaheed dropped the Crooklyn instrumental and Special Ed, Buckshot and Masta Ace came back out and did Vol 1... then Preem came on, Dropped pt 2 and Chubb Rock, Jeru and OC came on.... Theres not much else i can say, this literaly was just amazing. To see 2000 Brooklynites wiling out and screaming "We be doing up Crooklyn styyyyyyyyyle... what does it take to get you wiiiiiiiiiiild"... gave me hope that NYC hip hop does still exist.....


So after what was probably the best show ive ever seen... we headed up to manhatten to see what maybe the best film ive seen in a long time. If u havent seen "Wanted"... go watch it!... anyway, im all hip hoped out... im going bed! till tommorow.... Peace!
