RIK CORDERO ON THE MIXES, CONSEQUENCE x SOUTHEAST SLIM x CLIPSE x WALE IN ONE ARENA! YOUNG CHRIS BACK STAGE. I CANT EVEN FAKE THATS
HIP-HOP LIVE IN THE D.M.V.

OFFICIAL REVIEW BY VIC RAIN OF GOADOMETALK.COM
THE NIGHT WAS VERY ENTERTAINING, EVEN THOUGH I MISSED CONSEQUENCES' PERFORMANCE [SMH]! BUT I SAW CLIPSE AND THEY WERE AMAZING. I STARTED TO REALIZE AGAIN HOW MUCH OF A FAN I WAS OF THEIR MUSIC. [LORD WILLIN] IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE CD'S, SO WHEN THEY WENT THROUGH TRACKS FROM THAT LP I WAS JUST BOPPING MY HEAD, AND SAYIN "WOOO" OR "DAMNN" ON EVERY COUPLE OF BARS. THEIR PERFORMANCE WAS PRETTY GREAT.

***BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR THE CLOTHING FROM CLIPSE THAT IS COMING VERY SOON CALLED [PLAY CLOTHES]***

BUT FIRST WALE PERFORMED, SO THIS IS HOW IT WENT. SO BASICALLY I GET THERE SAY WHUDAP TO EVERYONE, THEN WE GO IN THE BALLROOM AND UCB IS WARMING UP IN A REAL MELLOW SMOOTH POCKET. SO WALE THEN GETS ON STAGE AND THE SHOW BEGINS WITH "1 THING ABOUT A PLAYA [REMIX]" FT. SOUTHEAST SLIM. HE PERFORMS HITS LIKE "BACK IN THE GO-GO" FT PUSHA T [CLIPSE] AND "W.A.L.E.D.A.N.C.E.", WHILE UCB PERFORMED THEIR OWN HITS LIKE "SEXY LADY" AND "HER LOVE". PERSONALLY THE SECOND BEST PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT WAS "ARTISTIC INTEGRITY" BEING THAT UCB REALLY BROUGHT THE SONG TO LIFE.

THE PERFORMANCE OF THE NIGHT WAS "NIKE BOOTS"! EVEN THOUGH I HERD IT LIVE AT THE NIKE CONCERT WAYYY BACK WHEN WALE HAD A SHOW WITH WAYNE, IT HAD A LITTLE TWIST ON IT THIS TIME. WALE MADE A BIG MOVE BY BRINGING YOUNG CHRIS ON STAGE TO DO "NO BETTER LOVE" WITH UCB AND THEN ADD HIS OWN TWIST ON NIKE BOOTS. IT WAS GREAT AS WALE, YOUNG CHRIS, AND UCB'S RAPPER SPIT ON THE LIVE NIKE BOOTS PERFORMANCE. EASILY I REALIZED THAT YOUNG CHRIS HAS THE UPCOMING SWAGGER OF JAY-Z. WALE ENDED THE NIGHT WITH THE CLASSIC "DIG DUG" [THE MOST REQUESTED RECORD ON THE RADIO IN DMV HISTORY]. BEING THAT IVE BEEN TO A BUNCH OF WALE SHOWS, OVERALL TO ME, I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS HIS BEST PERFORMANCE THAT IVE SEEN THUS FAR.

CLOCKWISE CLOTHING :: D.M.V. KNOWS BETTER TEE

The "DMV Knows Better" tee stresses Clockwise's love for DC, MD & VA once again. It is based off of the Bo Knows campaign from the early 90's. "Bo Knows" was an advertising campaign for Nike cross-training shoes that ran in 1989 and featured professional baseball and American football player Bo Jackson. It is also a play off of the limited t-shirts that Nike made for select high end sneaker boutiques and retailers. Bottom line, know one knows better than the DMV. Hometown spirit again on this one! Tee is available in all sizes, with many unique colorway options to choose from!

Again, all special orders, or boutique inquiries can be made by emailing Info@ClockwiseClothing.com

GET IT HERE FOR ONLY 29.95.

TROUBLE THE WATER :: COLOROFCHANGE.ORG

YOU CAN CHECK OUT THIS MOVIE AT THE E STREET CINEMA. AS A MATTER OF FACT, GO HEAD AND FOLLOW THE LINK!

Our nation was riveted as we watched thousands left to die when Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. As the national conversation turned to race and poverty, volunteerism shot way up. Folks noticed the huge disparities in our country and jumped up to do something.

Three years later, where are we? What happened to the promises to rebuild? Where do Katrina survivors live? Where are the jobs?

Trouble the Water explores these questions through the amazing story of Kim and Scott Roberts, two people from New Orleans who survived the worst of the storm, then began a long struggle to rebuild their lives. The film takes audiences on a journey that is by turns heart stopping, infuriating, inspiring and empowering.

Trouble the Water won the prestigious Grand Jury prize for Best Documentary at the Sundance Film Festival, and was called "one of the best American documentaries in recent memory," by the New York Times.

By going to see it this weekend, you can help it reach a wider audience and make a bigger impact.

Thanks and Peace,

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.

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.

...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.
