So this past weekend was pretty importante and progressive for the Latinos in Hip Hop from the DMV area. There were 2 shows (La Conekta & Latinas Unidas). I performed at La Conekta and was able to get a lot accomplished during this show. Im promoting a clothing line "44 Couture and "LeekoTV" which is doing my upcoming video of "Spanglish Ebonics". Also for the 1st time I rocked a new track "KestanHaciendo" on stage with Ol Skool Ru. For all those of ya that dont know me & Ru were like the only Latinos reppin on the mic back in like '98 in the U street area. So this was like a reunion on the mic.
THOUGHTS ON LA CONEKTA
The event was successful alot of people showed up even certain special individuals that i was real surprised to see. The only bad thing that happen was a fight broke out. But the show continued which was good.
I have performed at a lot of shows and at this one I come to fully understand why Wale lables this place as "Hate is the new Love". The problem with the DMV movimiento is the Hate that the propio artistas here dont recognize that they are hating.
Now Im not going to sit & lie to you that I love evrybody but I love to see upcoming artists do their thing on stage. I do however give my constructive criticism since no one else has the balls to let me know whats good.
Now their are a lot of hot songs they perform but if I didnt know who T.I., is or 3-6 mafia and you gave me your CD i wouldnt be able to tell the difference. The songs are great, the lyrics are hot but its just a Latin face behind it jockin their style of beats with the same "ayyy....ayyyy" ...all ya need now is a Braves hat
(HipHop101: "Ayye" is something that was started in Atlanta saying the "A" aka Atlanta is like your reppn you from there)
I come to a show and i want to hear sick rhymes, delivery, hooks. but if i come home remember people chanting the group name and not even your own fanbase know the lyrics to your hooks than thats not a good look. And i know dont speak for my self.
Some artists do have catchy hooks and delivery is crazy but lipsynchin....OMG
Now me i know i dont have them catchy club songs titled "Check my Swagger" or "I get Cash Money" but my songs do have a message and you will remember my punch lines and you will rewind the track like what did he say.
The truth is that you cant belive what these rappers be saying. I know that life style and I dont brag about it on beats. like Kanye said " You cant tell me nothing"
THOUGHTS ON LATINAS UNIDAS
This show was awesome, i arrived a little late and didnt get to see all the performances due to parking, PLEASE MI GENTE WE NEED A NEW VENUE.
I think artists that come for a show and then leave is WACK. Like who are you to leave early, yeah i understand you gotta to work tomorrow at your boring day job but you came out to show love on the mic. So if you want love back stick around for the main show and network.
LA BRUJA killed it as expected i wish more of these younger acts that are coming up would understand and open their ears instead of the same ol' bullmierda they play on the radio and MTV
