Slackin in my mackin

OK - I haven't posted anything in damn near a week, and apparently, Frequency hasn't found a new video or Obama pic to post, Cinsere (Sincere?) has nothing to rant and rave about, Prolyfic hasn't found a movie since 1999 that he likes enough to write about, and Juganot, well, Juganot's too busy sending me friend requests on IMEEM to even accept my invite to post here.

So, I figured I'd just start writing during lunch and see what comes out. The last week or so has been pretty hectic, but I did manage to go to Joell Ortiz's show at SOBs last night. I even paid $18 ($18!) at the door to see it. I can't for the life of me remember when the last time I paid to go to a club or show was. Not that I'm famous or anything like that, I just tend to find my way in for free. Like the time I snuck in the back door at the Apollo for last year's Justo Mixtape Awards. Or the time I was with Versatile (hold ya head) in downtown BK and he not only talked our way into Club Caviar despite the strict dresscode, but had the owner buying us bottles of Mo and inviting us to his private recording studio to do a song. Apparently he mistook Verse for a Def Jam recording artist. But in all seriousness, I just go to free spots for the most part or places where I know the promoter, performer or someone at the door. I'm cheap like that.

In any event, I was a little peeved because Joell's manager had told me about the show the week before (over dinner, no less (and no homo)) but then couldn't get me on the list because I reminded him too late. But Joell is one of the few rappers that have come out since Canibus who I actually am a fan of, so I bit the bullet. Of course 3 of the first 4 songs he performed were BY MY CLIENTS (though I can't take credit for any of those placements), but it's all good. Shout out to Emz, VIC and Prince & Machavelli.

Got to chop it up a bit with Iron Solomon (my favorite YouTube rapper; no seriously, you should look him up), see Skyzoo perform (who doesn't recognize me after meeting me like 5 times, which, I guess, is all good, being that I haven't seen him in like a year), and see this dude Emilio Rojas spit hot apple cider vinegar fire over my newest client, M Phazes, beats.

After that, I went to go check Clap Cognac at PJs, but he wound up not performing. It was an interesting scene. Cats were battling on a make shift stage. The dude that won said some shit like "I'll make you die like one dice." That shit had me rolling.

Look out for that new Clap Cognac video on Video City, featuring a Juganot cameo with yours truly lurking in the background.

Somebody please remind me to blog about Queen Yonasda's Birthday party last week. Who couldn't resist a story involving drunk midgets, yoga balls, a swimming pool, and the Nation of Islam?
