(Pictures/Videos) The imcomparable @phontigallo and @9thwondermusic...in Baltimore...

It was REALLY GOOD TO SEE Phonte Coleman and Patrick Douthit on stage together again. Now this wasn't their first time obviously but it was the first time I have seen them LIVE on stage in a long time (But not the first time I saw them together..Saw 9th at the Dear Friends taping at SoundPure in Durham...) as it was for many of the folks in the audience. They did NOT DISAPPOINT. Ran through classic tracks as well as their current tracks on their respective albums. They gave the crowd the news about charting 7th and 10th on Billboard's Rap charts and FE's album Authenticity pending Grammy nod progress.

Phonte performing "The Life Of Kings"

The opening acts (if you would like to call them at as I came there to see EVERYONE there so that title is not one I would use) DJFlash, Halo, Rapsody, The Away Team and Median all did well too and kept the crowd amped through the night. Normally, I go to shows and try to focus STRICTLY on getting shots and videos. Very hard to do when someone I consider a friend (at this point) is on the stage doing what he does best. Even harder when he is someone that I personally have in my Top 3 of all time when it comes to this MCing thing (and top 3 MUSICIANS MIGHT I ADD..Genre not withstanding..) So this time around, I went as a fan and supporter SOLELY. So I thought. I still ended up catching some footage and doing a post on what happened. Honestly wasn't my intent. Good talent will force you to do that. Hope you enjoy the little bit of footage that I felt like sharing. UPDATE: More footage... This is how Tay and 9th started it off...

One of my favorite cuts... Everything Is Falling Down...(Shoutout to JEANNE JOLLY....SEE YOU SOON!)

In case you DIDN'T KNOW.. Phonte is FUNNY AS HELL.... He talks about him and 9th...The INTERNET....

This is my footage...Shoutout to the other folks who provided things...

Support

Let me be clear. I need you to SUPPORT the artist whose music you see/hear in the music player here. Some of them are my FRIENDS!! I want them to make money. So while I may put up a link here or there that they didn't 'endorse', it is only out of the love for their music and the fact that I want you to SUPPORT THEM. So please do. Seek out their music. Some of them are VASTLY UNDERRATED and your FAVORITE MUSICIAN loves them. So it isn't 'talent'. It is exposure. Which is all I am trying to give them here.. SO SUPPORT THEM!!!

Pictures/Women. I post 'em up ON THE REG. I post 'em, pay the compliments I want to when necessary and leave it at that. Period. If you happen to be the 'man in the young lady's life', don't worry dawg, I don't want your woman. I'm good.

If the fact that I do post up women means that you don't 'respect' any serious topic I discuss then your 'Fuck You and your respect ' is in the link below...Go ahead and read it....I think that should about cover how I feel about what 'you think'..

As for the 'woman' who are afraid of being 'exploited' by a site like the one I run here..Or who feel like I 'stole' your pics or something along those lines.. I have addressed you as well...

UPDATE: The Internet World has evolved. I will leave the disclaimer up however as most of you know, press is press to most people.

I do occasionally interview folks so browse around. I don't call them interviews though. I call 'em 'Chats' 'cause that is usually what is like. Not claiming to be some CNN reporter over here. Just asking questions that many of us want answers to and some questions that some of you don't THINK TO ASK OR THINK CERTAIN FOLKS ARE GOING THROUGH/THINKING ABOUT/DOING. I like to dig deep so if you agree to an interview, be prepared. I might ask you anything. I probably will stay away from the majority of the 'standard' questions though. Just bare that in mind.

The popular posts usually contain enough POSITIVE examples of how this works great for both THE BLOG and the subjects of the posts. Usually, those post are a DIRECT RESULT of support from the young lady via a posting on THEIR OWN TWITTER, blog or Facebook. So thank you for that IN ADVANCE (and if you have done so in the past..) for that mutual support. It is appreciated. Truly.

Oh and one more thing...

I DON'T WATER MARK PICTURES THAT I DIDN'T EITHER TAKE OR WERE NOT ORIGINALLY GIVEN TO ME. I have seen folks RUSH TO DO IT and it is pretty damm sad. Not my style. I am not a fool. I know that most of what I do in regards to pictures can be replicated so there is no need to act like I'm out here doing more than what it is. I provide a space to see a collection of pictures in that regard. Nothing more. Nothing less. Watermarking pictures that aren't 'mine per say kinda comes off a little pompous to me. That's just me though..

I want you to be able to tell when I do TAKE THE PICTURE without me saying as much. What do I look like watermarking your pictures up if I didn't 'take them'?

You see the watermark on a picture here with the blog's name in it? Then you know I took the picture in some fashion. Screen shot. With the camera phone. With the Canon or the web cam. Or it was given to me for exclusive use. (At least at press time)
