Firstly let me say that attending this show is by far the most memorable concert I have ever been to.
Where the lead-up was terrible to this show — It was far worth the wait.

Unfortunately I haven’t been able to see every act that has come out lately, so I had to pick and choose who I know I would enjoy more. I managed to grab tickets for Wu-Tang Clan, BLACKstreet and finally Method Man and Redman.

I managed to miss out on Ghostface Killah, NAS, Dilated Peoples to name but a few.

Meth & Redman – Hey Zulu

The show was positive and highly re-affirming faith in real hiphop. Meth and Red spoke the truth at the Concert.

“…When the music was still pure, when hiphop was still pure. All you needed on stage, was a MC, a Microphone, a DJ and 2 turntables….There was no hype men, no dancers, motherfuckers wasnt talking about how much jewellery they got, what car they drive, how big they house was. To me, that’s not really a show to me….When they get on stage, (if they up show on time), they got a 1000 mo’fu*kers on stage, errybody got a mic. They show off the chain BOOMPOW, they show off their chain and bracelet boomBANG, and everybody on stage has got SWAG, SWAG SWAG SWAG, FUCK SWAG. Instead of swag, why dont you use skills? These motherfuckers feel like when they get overseas they don’t gotta give you a proper show cause they not back at home. See, that’s bullshit. Next time a motherfucking MC wanna pop up in here, show off his jewellery and give you a half ass show, meet his ass outside the parking lot, woop his ass and get yo dough! We’re not concerned with what you got on, we’re not concerned with your problems, we’re not concerned with what you’re drinking, just with what you’re smoking!”

Props to BJ (SneakPreview) for capturing the footage on his phone for me to be able to transcribe each word that Meth threw down during that speech.

I left feeling highly inspired, and realised I ain’t never been to a concert so positive and where rappers ain’t scared to go straight up to the crowd or smoke a blunt with them either!

Now if only every other concert that came to our shores here in Aust, could be of the same atmosphere….

Props to DJ Mathematics and DJ Dice (Original Das Efx DJ) for dropping some crazy classics and showcasing some awesome turntablism.
