I went to this showcase last night at club Frequency over in Underground Atlanta. Everything was on the up and up as far as artists went for the most part, there was a dull performance or too, but everyone has to start somewhere. I want to take the time out now to say LET J.MONEY BE J.MONEY!!!! I DON'T CARE IF YOU ACTUALLY FEEL LIKE YOUR SWAGG HAS SWAGG AND YOUR SWAGG'S SWAGG IS ON THE MOON SOMEWHERE!!!!! I DONT CARE IF YOU'VE BEEN SAYING IT FOR YEARS EITHER, RIGHT NOW THAT BELONGS TO J.MONEY AND NO MATTER HOW YOU TRY TO EXPLAIN IT YOU JUST LOOK LIKE A BITER!! THAT'S IT.
Most notably I'll mention (in order of performance) Lyrical Preacher, C-Squad, Izrael and Rellik Rebel. There was this reggae cat that held it down, Im just embarassed that I can't remember his name (If you know who I'm talkin about please leave his name in a comment to this post). Anyway, the afore mentioned acts were definitely worth the late night coupled with waking up this morning for class.
You know they say the good guys never get the shine they deserve, and I guess I'm about to add to that since what I really want to write about is this one individual who performed with his group. I don't know his name and I won't put his group name out there simply because, I wasn't pleased with him, so they get no love from me (at least until further notice). I will admit up front that collectively they had an energetic performance, kudos to that. BUT I just wasn't feeling the song they did, I prefer something a little more happy go lucky. So I sat there watching and taking mental notes, like I said before I wasn't feeling it so I wasn't groovin to it. Then I don't know what possessed this rapper guy to approach me during the performance, but he did, EPIC FAIL. It was definitely around 1 or later by this point so I'm hoping this was his idea of an April Fool's Day joke. So this guy is all in my personal space rapping all aggressively and intense like. Please don't put your finger in the vicinity in which I breathe my air!!! This was definitely not the song for a move like that, and I'm definitely not the girl for a move like that. If I wasn't interested in what you were doing before, do you really think that yelling in my face was going to win me over???? SMH. Do better. I mean really, what were you thinking?? Someone help me understand. I value my personal space and when you force yourself into my personal space it's definitely a violation. It's like.... social molestation, yes I think I may have just made that up but that's basically what it comes down to. A note to all performers: Don't socially molest an uninterested audience member, it doesn't bring them to your side!!!
