I got to see Common Wed night....and it was something that i really needed. getting to see my chi-town brother was great. the crown was light because most people were headed to Jena,La but still had energy. i stood alone on the floor of the venue and felt weird. i missed the people i normally stand with. i missed seeing the faces of those i know. yet i still had fun.
that night, REAL hip-hop pushed its way into my ears, traveled dark hallways that led to closed doors where, do not enter, flashed in neon red, black and green letters. Pause. Hip-Hop, in a b-boy stance with mic in hand, serenaded me....brought back Run DMC, Public Enemy, Eric B, BDP, the Cold Crush Brothers, MC Lyte, Grandmaster Flash and Bambaataa....how i reminisced about them, my God....once again i was doing the Running the Man, the WHOP, the Gigolo and break dancing...checkout my style....once again, the MC was the messenger, the DJ provided beat.....the message simple: lets have a good time and party ya'll.....yes, yes ya'll
and we did.
for one night, we partied without the divisions of color, economic background, sex, or religion. we were unified through the music.
WE THE PEOPLE....declared our love for hip-hop.....WHILE IN A B-BOY STANCE.
FRESH FOR 07.....YOU SUCKAAAAAAAAA'S
Thanx Common.
