Hip-Hop Gig Reviews.
Platform 5
Platform 5 was an unprecedented success based on the high turn-out which was very encouraging for Beast-Society. The club was packed and the atmosphere, electric. But I'd like to do a little math.
As you can see there were 28 crews with an average of 2.6-3 members per crew. which means....
3 x 28= 84
the excess capacity after subtracting the Platformers is 216 people [derived from 300(club capacity) - 84 (Platformers)]
BS managed to attract these 216 people through maybe aggressive promotion or through word of mouth. BS would do well to keep up getting this kind of support from the community. or maybe it's because people were anxious to see the next big thing in the Hip-Hop scene after Platform 4 churned out a complete asshole as the champion.
Whatever.
So,the atmosphere was good. "How about the music?" I can hear you cynical pieces of shit screaming out. The performances was erratic. I did a graph based on the performances and this is how it looked like:
While some groups totally rocks socks on cocks(2Ways,Velvet Groove),some group were so pathetic,i had to chain my ass to my the seat in order to keep myself bitch-slapping them to Brooklyn where they'll probably get gang-raped by crack addicts. Guys included.And no matter what some might say,forgetting your lyrics when you're a 4 or 5 people crew is unforgiveable. Everybody will forget their lyrics at least once in their performing lifetime,but that's when they're complacent and lazy like me. When you want to make a good impression on your first performance,you better sweat your ass on it,girlfriend. So remember,forgetting lyrics is not okay. Make it a habit and you'll burn in hell.
I thought Supreme One was really good and i was taken aback at some of the reaction he got from the crowd who dubbed him "Eminem's cousin" with more than a touch of sarcasm. Apparently,having an idol where you look up to and imitate credibly is not a good thing but when you commit an total hip-hop sin like forgetting your lyrics or rapping in Malay (hehe!), suddenly you're greeted with a standing ovation. Totally Wah Piang Eh!!!!!!! Supreme One was talking about him being "numero uno" and shit and i think that a little bit of arrogance in hip-hop goes a long way.
Double Opposites was another group that totally impressed me. They were so "heng cute leh".
There was this chinese girl who looked so kawaii but when she open her mouth to sing,it totally blew me away. And her name's is Pepper. Heng cute right? And the guy who was rapping was so touchingly raw,it hit a nerve and i almost got a seizure.
I remembered this particular line that he spit(sorry if i get it wrong ah)
".......tired of being treated like a jackass
"my dad told me if you wanna rap,wait after NS"
or somethin like that lah
but bottomline they rocked socks on cocks.
So that's it for Platform5. It was a good experience for some,totally wah lau eh nabeh cibai for some.
