POLAROID
Hidden Dragon, Crouching Tiger for a Rapper’s Delight.
I know, I know. It’s been a while. For various reasons I have been obliged to put the blog on hold for some time. But, I’m back. Bigger, stronger, faster, harder. Kanye could not have said it any better. Or Daft Punk for that matter. Let’s cut the crap, and get straight to it. The […]
Cash Money Will Save The Economy
For once, I’ll keep it short. No drama, no small details. Nothing. For once, I won’t waste your time with words and more words. Because for once, things were easy. Just for once. Don’t get your hopes up for the onces coming. Believe me. DON’T. Anyhow. DJ Cash Money àll the way from Philadelphia playing a set in club […]
How to Bust a fort (k)Noxx
Spring is in the air, summer is around the corner and a lot of artists start their European tour. Great for the blog and my project since this results in my agenda having less and less blank spaces and me having less and less sleep. Busta Rhymes was coming to Antwerp, due to perform in […]
Hurricane on Heels
DATE???? Now this is one of my favorite stories. Where do I begin? Do you remember when you saw Grace Jones for the first time? I do. I saw Grace Jones when I saw Eddy Murphy’s Boomerang for the first time. I was watching Boomerang on tv while I was supposed to sleep. I was […]
Name: Mulatu. Age: 66
Mulatu Astatke. Mu laaa tuu. As. Tat. Ke. It took me a while to pronounce it. For the people who know the man: great. For the ones who don’t, let me be so kind to introduce you. Mulatu Astatke is the Godfather of what people call Ethio-Jazz. Word is that Ethio-Jazz is created by Mulatu Astatke and therefore […]
One for All, All for one Polaroid.
Lokerse Feesten, 07/08/2009. It doesn’t hàve to be difficult. Sometimes the hustle isn’t necessary. Sometimes, you just have to depend on your instincts. Simple. Baloji for example. Baloji is a Belgian artist and just released his first solo album, an autobiography called ‘Hotel Impala’. He was scheduled to perform right before N.E.R.D. and I hoped I could […]
When the MC came, to live out his name.
Ancien Belgique (Brussels), DATE. My first gig in the AB. In my humble opinion the coolest concert venue in Belgium. Especially for anything in an urban atmosphere. If you are a true artist, I believe you can create magic in that place. I saw Jay-Z performing there once and it was brilliant. The iron balconies on both the left […]
Diane, Diane, Die-An?
Trix (Antwerp), date. Rahzel is coming. Yes, Rahzel the Human Beatbox aka The Godfather of Noize. After missing out on Snoop Dogg ànd Kanye West I wasn’t really confident anymore… (Yes I failed on Kanye so hard and fast I couldn’t even write a story about it) Rahzel wasn’t alone. He came with JSONE, DJ MUGGS (Cypress […]
NERD VS JVT
Two of my favorite ‘boys-bands’ in the same room. Haha. Just kidding. N.E.R.D. in the AB? I bought my tickets faster than a Busta Rhymes song. The concert was sold out in a blink of an eye. Blink! My raincheck on N.E.R.D. Finally. With the experience I had so far, I was hoping for a […]
