Friday Night 5/8/2009 @ Black Sheep Bar…..RIP
// May 11th, 2009 // Events
Whether or not you think Hip Hop is dead Cynic threw it a funeral…Definatly one of the most original concepts for a show that I’ve seen from a local promoter in a long time. When you walk into the joint you’re not asking yourself “Why the fuck these bois playing all these 90s east coast songs” because its what you came to see.
This was my first time at the Black Sheep Bar and the venue is on point for close up performances. (not to mention they are one of the few sopots on the beach that still got Heinkens under 8 dollars which is fucking KEY!)
The night started out with tracks from your favorite dead artists held down by DJ Annonomys….I haven’t heard “Players Anthem” on speakers that big since 97, shit was awesome…This is where I gotta stop and give the homie Cynic his props cause he actually had some friendly lil mamas moving to your favorite joints from back in the day…Not to hurt nobody feelings but most of the parties I’ve been to that try to pull this vibe off wind up with a bunch mad rapper types wondering “Where the bitches at?”…..Tightwork Cynic
The show started off with LMS tearing through the NWO. His set was more mellow than what im used to hearing from him but still quality LMS none the less. Buddy even dropped a new joint called “Population Control” produced by The Alienz that definatly caught everybodies ear. The highlght of the set though was the a capella hip hop eulogy. If you havent seen this man live yet, what are you really doing with your life?
Alukard came through and definatly did not disappoint…The highlight of these bois rowdy set came when lead guitarist and rock star in the making Level ventured out into the crowd to recieve a lil lip action from a few of the ladies WHILE playing….pimp shit.
Saheed was in the building…Dude is one of the few rappers down here that when I see his name on the flyer and I can make it out to the joint, I’m there. Buddies flow and lyrical content is nutz, and hes YOUNG, I cant wait to hear what dude is gonna be doing in 6 years. This show wasn’t the best to catch the young beast at though…starting with his set the the sound was offically on some fuckshit! The best was Saheed telling Annonmys to turn the beat up to which he replied ” you gotta bring it then”, which led to Saheed doing just that. Saheed also annouced the new project he’s working on with DJ R&R of GasfaceFilms, which if your familiar with R&R’s work, you know this joint will be a MONSTER!
Swazy Stylez and Nonsence also came through, Swazy was the only one of the two to take the floor though. Buddy held it down something serious, but this line up of emcees didn’t really match that Swazy vibe so something was lost. Buddy always perfroms like he’s doing an arena but the energy from the rest of the room just wasnt there. I got a hold of his new single….more on that later.
On a night where everybody seemed to be laying Hip Hop to rest I was able to witness the resurrection of First Platoon now known as NHL….pronounced “inhale” because they bringing a breath of fresh air to the Miami scene…I got a chance to get up with Louie and he’s gonna be hittin Psykosouth.com up with some exclusive content a lil later…
All in all it was a great Friday night on South Beach.
