Good Times @ The Fifth Element

So… I’ve uploaded a few of the funnier moments from Jake Ones “White Van Music” Album Release/Meet and Greet. There is more video to upload - which I intended on doing this evening, but apparently I’ve exceeded my weekly limit on Vimeo.

If the flicks get a little bit ‘Blair Witchy’, forgive me. My arms were getting tired. Respect due to the real video crews out there in the world.

Anyhoo,

Brother Ali shared a tour bus story about Rakim (The God), pulling back bunk curtains and talking about “Going to War” (in the Hip-Hop sense). Funny!

“Yo, Ali - We’re going to war tomorrow, man“- Rakim

Rhymesayers own, I Self Devine slowed up the flow of his in-store performance at the Fifth Element in response to lackluster crowd participation — which sadly, is typical Minnesotan behavior.

In the process, Brother Ali hipped ‘I Self‘ to the reason why the audience was intimidated to participate in ‘call and response’ — mostly due to the white audience knowing better than to shout out the ‘N’ word. That, and the fact that they are “Minnesota Nice” .

Yup, yup, you betcha.

Everybody had a good laugh and they kept it movin’.

Saucy Dame says: Hmmm…that’s an interesting combo right there. But
it works!

Dig it:

I’m thinkin’ “White Van Music” is going to be a BANGER.
