My man Dave rocked this Gang Starr cap he got at a thrift store out west somewhere years ago. For the PE show and because of the rain I busted out these Adidas Superstar digi-camo weave that I got few years back at Journeys on 14th st. And yes that is the man himself Kool Herc who warmed up the crowd with dancehall but also this joint:
My boy Donald got us All Access passes that got us nowhere but in the pit in the rain. But it was all worth it after long but solid opening set by unknown cat with a band then Kool Herc spun some dancehall then two dudes, one with a hockey mask and chains, do a song or two(wasn't paying attention) then Sons of Bazerk try to get the crowd going to no avail and when they tried the old James Brown cape routine the NYC crowd just wasn't havin' it and made their displeasure ring through the rainy park. Sad to see them have to leave the stage in shame. When the S1W's took the stage the real show began and Flav and Chuck showed everyone what time it is. Check my youtube channel or blog for more photos and videos. Peace!
Didn't know Gil was into stand-up, as he opened his own show with some stories and one-liners. It was hot as hell that day and had to leave mid-way through the show during 'pieces of a man' but Gil is still the man!
Rained out but I trooped it and got to hang with royalty when I ran into Special K in the park bathroom and he was gracious and humble and disappointed about the show so he took me to the holding area where they were all eating jerk chicken ad rice and peas. Smelled good, had my ital ass thinking...
Music, weather, and crowd all conspired to make it another great day in the park. Then it was off to Esquina for dinner and over to 5ninth to rock the (town)house till 4am!
