Such a funny video... if you haven't, go watch it.
This past weekend was the music festival that myself and my friend Ryan attended a few concerts at. One of them was Ghostface Killah of the Wu-Tang Clan. We went and watched that Saturday night, much to the amusement of myself. Trust me, I enjoyed the show, it was the crowd that was more amusing to me.
Like the video I linked above, the vast majority of the crowd was like that. White rich kids from Lake Oswego trying to be hard in downtown Portland. But then again, I was also in the crowd. So who am I to judge? Not like I grew up in a true ghetto, not like I slang crack as a kid, not like I ever shot anyone.
Hardest drug I've done is marijuana. Have I shot anyone before? No.. but I have gotten into a few fights, had others "take care of my business" and have been jumped myself a few times. Probably a lot more action than most of the others at that show. But still, I can appreciate a good hip-hop show with the rest of them.
Gostface appeared to have fun as well. Towards the end of his set, he stopped and started talking to the crowd. He mentioned how he just flew 6 hours from Hawaii to be at this show (which was sponsored by Nike, so I'm sure there was incentive there). He mentioned how he actually liked the place, how nice people treated him here, the weather, everything.
When I was there, I talked a bit with a member of the Sand People. They're a rap conglomerate that come out of Portland. I went to their show on Friday night. They're not too bad, could use a lot of work on their stage show, but they showed some promise. They're dropping a release on October 6th, and I'm half-way thinking of attending their concert to see if they have improved at all.
