Aww
yeah- the atmosphere at #’s was hot...literally, as the growing
crowd waited for the underground legends MF Doom and Talib Kweli; sweat
almost immediately built up by the time Houston’s own, K-Otix took
the stage.
K-Otix led an impressive set that definitely turned some heads. The duo
held the stage presence of crafty veterans, that knew how to both entertain
a crowd, and stir a buzz.
The still building crowd was in full anticipation of MF Doom, the man
behind the mask. The lyrisicm of this MC is first rate, however, his stage
show left something to be desired. It’s not that it was a bad show,
but, I’m in serious doubt that he made any new fans from it. The
sound seemed muffled, and his lyrics were drowned out by a crude bass. |

By the time
Talib took the stage, it went from hot to DAMN hot, but the energy of Talib
almost made you forget about the sauna of a club. Talib freestyled over
the Kanye West produced, Get em High, as the audience approved with “oooh’s
and Ooooh shit’s”
Kweli was amazing, and even shared stage with local b-boys and b-girls who
wrecked for a good while. Talib went through a catolog of his popular songs
and surprised everyone at the end of the show with a song that sampled The
Beatles’ Eleanor Rigby, which had many singing along with the chorus.
These kind of dynamics makes you wonder what this Brooklyn born MC has in
store for his next album. |
