Last Sunday, I attended "church". Not the holy-pass the plate-look at my flashy suit-did you hear what sister Kathy did type of church. But it was definitely a spiritual event. Let me rewind it for you, early Sunday while attending the
"Great Day In BK" photo shoot (you'll hear more later on that one) I got wind of the location and time that
Myspace was hosting their secret
Gnarls Barkley (
Battles, &
Janelle Monae!) concert in
NYC at
Irving plaza! "Starts at 7pm? F**k it I'll be there at 5...and it's FREE too?" Done.
Havana Outpost will have to pause till another Sunday son. This is some
Minority Report type dream s**t ya heard! Got there
DUMB early, good thing too, the line was
HELLA long (damn, now
Ash got me saying that Cali s**t now). Mike (
Yume) was posted up there already, plus he had his J.M. (
Janelle M.) hook up. I called up a few folks on my short list like, "Come thru it's free, it's
BANANAS out here!" But no one was readily available. Let me tell you my friends, it was
SICK! Both the show
AND the heat inside. Swore I was gonna faint on some "bitchassness" type sh*t, but held it together. That was my very first Gnarls and Monae concert, so I was trying not to spoil the memory, by waking with folks looking over me balling over w/laughter. Feel me? Anyways, after seeing her live and meeting her, I went straight home to sell
EVERYTHING I own, to be her personal groupie.
Here's some pics I took before I sold my camera too (lol).
From Goodie Mob to Gnarls Barkley to now doing his thang thang for dolo! And it seems like with each reinvention Cee-Lo Green just keeps getting BETTER! Well folks you can witness the rebirth of this underrated artist live on stage performing tunes from his upcoming release "the Lady Killer."
Boy oh boy, do I have some treats for you! I'm digging all this new music coming out like every 24 hrs. are so. Pretty soon I'm gonna have to up the gigs in my iTouch just to hold all the stuff to avoid by laptop from crashing. Below I picked a couple I'm feeling for the moment (well at least till the remixes come out) that I think you will enjoy too. There's Cee-Lo Green (minus Gnarls Barkley) is doing his solo thing. Drake remixes his own take on a Rick Ross record. "Ricky Rozay" switches it up from the Maybach (which has been discontinued btw) and pulls the Aston Martin out the garage. And Busta does community service and pitches in to save DMX's career "from the pin to the pen!" It's all there folks so grab a plate and dig in!
