Some words about this show courtesy of Dox:

PROS OF COMING TO SEE US OVER DIPLO
There is no cover
Our t-shirts don’t look like Z. Cavaricci fall line
The bartenders and waitresses are pretty fly @ 121
We play hip hop, not caricatures of it
We don’t cater to your coke-addled lifestyle

CONS OF COMING TO SEE US OVER DIPLO
The word “pussy” will not be shouted repeatedly over 140-bpm 808 kicks
Words like “MGMT” and “Uffie” sound really foreign to us.
We don’t cater to your coke-addled lifestyle

Two Shows In Two Nights. Monkey Business at the AS220. Special Teamz at The Living Room. Mortal comes out of hiding.

Rhode Island hip hop was in full effect this past weekend. I attended two shows. While attending hip hop shows seems like a natural activity for a self proclaimed hip hop fan, the fact that I have not been “out” in over six months makes this a monumental occasion … at least for me.

This write up won’t be so much a full blown review of each event. It will be more of a bunch of mini reviews peppered with scathing criticism, bordering on slander, of the Rhode Island Hip Hop scene as a whole. So sit back. Relax. Grab a tall, ice cold glass of grape Hater-Aid and enjoy.
