I went down to the Knitting Factory to hear some hip hop last night. In particular this cat named Spec Boogie. He came out blazey's party the other night and i knew his name was familiar but not until his joint "From the Heart of Bed-Stuy" came on did i realize that he did one of my favorite songs from a couple months back. I would put up the song but now I can't find it on my computer. Bed Stuy - Spec Boogie. I just wish he spoke more on specifics in the hood.

Produced by Von Pea of Tanya Morgan

Donwill of Tanya Morgan. They were supposed to perform but delay's in Denver held them back.

VonPea showing us his buddy passes which apparently wasn't the best way to fly out of denver and still make it on time to a show.

George from round the way.

The bartender got this shirt in '88

My new favorite lyrisicst (that is different from all around rapper/entertainer) is Wale. I put on his mix tapes when i fly and have nothign to read. You want to pay attention to everything he is saying. Incredible. I'm hoping to check out the show in a couple weeks.

We were not getting in the release party. I stood on the street looking at the red carpet as loren continued to call his boy to get us in. All while i saw a bunch of folks whom i didn't know but are kinda famous - Megan Good, Some dude from project runway ("so fierce" is what blazey and loren just said), those 80's swagger jackers the retro kids (and a few others). Estelle comes up and does her photo thing on the red carpet and about 20 mins later I told loren lets bounce.

But alas, we got a last min hook up from folks close to the estelle camp (home town connection) and we easily slip through. Loren (all sunglassed and fitted new suit out) and i spend $65 for a two shots and 2 drinks so we can meet the tab minimum (i love nyc's prices) and post up. Later Estelle walks past, stops and gives us a few up and down looks points and says something nice about "you two" and continues on. Ahh, finally.

About an hour later she ask Mr. Legend "who are those cats from Springfield?" He introduces us and we hit it off exchange info and agree to hook up when she gets back to NY

Sike about that last part. It's only fantasy.

Speaking of Estelle, listen to one of her better songs over at Marcia's brand new blog teenybooks.com
