BEATDOWN RECAP :: GOADOMETALK.COM

[PHOTOS BY BARBIE]

AYE, THE BEATDOWN [ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY] LAST NIGHT WAS SOMETHING SERIOUS! THE EVENT WAS ONCE AGAIN PUT TOGETHER BY INNER LOOP RECORDS AND THERE IS NO OTHER PRODUCER SHOWCASE IN THE CITY FCUKING WITH THAT OF WHICH WE [THOSE WHO CAME] PAID WITNESSED TO LAST NIGHT. THE BEATS WERE CRAZY, BUT WTF WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM THE CITY'S FINEST?: JUDAH [THE LEGAND A.K.A. ANTI-FRUITYLOOPS], J-SCRILLA [INNER LOOPS OWN], BKS [BEST KEPT SECRET], MASTAMIND & A.B. THE SICKKK!

I DONT KNOW WHAT ELSE TO TELL YOU MAN. I CANT EVEN BEGIN TO EXPRESS HOW MANY TIMES FACES WERE SCREWED, HEADS WERE [PERMANENTLY] NODDED AND FREESTYLES WERE GIVEN DUE TO THE PLAY OF THESE BEATS! EVERY BODIES "A GAME" WAS BROUGHT AND PUT ON ONE STAGE, AT ONE ARENA. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE CITY'S FINEST MC'EES GRACED THE STAGE AS WELL.

LIVE PERFORMANCES BY X.O. [UPTOWN] AND A.P. OF PLUG ENTERTAINMENT WERE GIVEN DURING THE INTERMISSION. ALTHOUGH THIS WAS MY FIRST TIME HEARING BOTH LIVE, I WALK AWAY PROUD THAT I WAS GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY. THE BAMMA X.O. GAVE IT TO US STRAIGHT, SAYING WHAT HE FELT AND DIDNT HOLD HIS TONGUE FOR NOBODY. THATS BESIDES THE FACT THAT DUDE IS NICE, AND IS DUE A DEAL WITH A MAJOR! [I THINK THE CITY SHOULD BE EXPECTING SOME NEW ISH' FROM X.O. IN THE NEAR FUTURE, I THINK?]. A.P. IS ANOTHER JEWEL IN THE CITY, THAT GOADOMETALK.COM HAS BEEN KEEPING TRACK OF. THE ENTIRE CROWD KNEW HIS LYRICS, HIS HOOKS, AND HIS BEATS, EVEN FELLOW ARTIST...SO THATS WHEN YOU KNOW YOU "YOU GOING BE SOMEBODY". SHOUT OUTS TO DRE THE MAYOR FOR GETTING OUR YOUNG ASSES IN BY THE WAY!

...WE WERE ALSO GRACED BY THE LYRICS OF K-BETA [DUDE IS TRUTH], GOING IN ON ANY & EVERY BEAT ALIZAY WOULD PLAY! IT DONT MATTER TO SON, AND IT DIDNT MATTER TO THE CROWD AS WE WATCHED AND LEARNED. THE SCENE WAS CLASSIC...IMAGINE K-BETA ON THE BALCONY LOOKING DOWN AT THE CROWD, WITH A MICROPHONE AND NO HYPE MAN, WHILE ALIZAY ON THE FLOOR KILLING EM' SOFTLY, TRACK, BY TRACK, BY TRACK, BY TRACK!

CLUB FELIX BOUNCERS ON THE HEADS, BUT ANYWAY...ALL IN ALL THE EVENT WAS CLASSIC! INNER LOOP CISE US WITH SOME PRESS PASSES OR SOMETHING NEXT TIME, REAL TALK.
