yo... sup people.... i won't even begin talking about the concert..... it was way of the hinges... if like me you been watching the movie Fade to Black like twice a week for the past 8 months, then you can relate in me saying that it wasn't an ordinary concert by any measure..... but i'll let you tell it...
Now, the afterparty.....WOW!!!!....unbelievable...... what actually happened is that the official afterparty was at Palms, but that Evil Genius killed them by announcing that the 'official' party is at taboo... anyway... he was just pulling through to support cats he had been chilling with all week.... he wanted a set.... they said he could play as long as he wanted... he got on decks at 1:30am till like 5am when it all ended... i must say... the girls were pretty.... the venue is tight (a little pricey (R100 - R150), and the dress codes was ama kick and boboza a.k.a. square toe.. a.k.a. tariana... a.k.a formal dressish..) so a lot of people got bounced cause clearly you wanna be comfortable at a concert..... now..... green lantern is brilliant.... to be able to hold a crowd for so long and play such good music..... i realised what a DJ is this weekend... no dissing other DJ's, but the stuff we ussed to is cats sequencing tracks.... it had nothing to do with scratching or whatever.... just the level of research, energy and choice in the tracks was second to none.... he would drop in an r&B track, dancehall, 70's tracks, michaerl jackson, all one comfortable snare platforms for the non hip hoppers to enjoy.... unbelievable.....
Rihanna and her dancers rocked up....lantern supposedly told them to come through... so he made a special night of it..... he killed it by dropping 2 tracks from jay's new album....... both produced by just blaze.... obviously people weren't used to them... but they had the usual just blaze feel to them....
Green Lantern is skillinuf no doubt......... i think smart DJ's shouls aspire to be that entertaining.... i always thought that a DJ talking while playing must be irritating... it was okay this weekend... them ultra proffesional DJ are performers too...period..... so DJ's please take it to the next level.....
skillz........
