WAKESTOCK WU'Z UP!

Despite the return of the riDONKilous RAIN, on Saturday July 26th, two more WU members hit up Canada! RZA Bobby Digital and GZA Genius returned to T.O to hit up the island festival that is, WAKESTOCK. RZA performed some classic hits and tunes from his new album Diji Snacks! mmmmmmmmm.....sounds delish. The crowd was chanting 'WU' mofoz! I had a chance to talk to RZA and he had a lot of knowledge and consciousness. He told us to stay away from negativity because a lot of people are surrounded by it. I had a chance to redeem myself after my first short meeting with GZA. I was able to talk to him and and he remembered me from our official backstage encounter at the Sound Academy. GZA informed us that there is a lot of fake hip-hop out there and to stay connected to real hip-hop. Perhaps, by fake, GZA was referring to his beef wih 50 cent. The best song the WU members performed was when GZA helped out hommie RZA on his track, You Can't Stop Me Now. There was also a special performance by the late

ODB's boys, (who are the sweetest cool boys) who they performed OOH Baby I like it RAWWWWWWW! BIG thanks goes out to SHING SHING REGIME! PEACE

ROCK THE BELLS! DING A LING A LING & SO MUCH BLING!

ROCK THE BELLS 2008!!

On Sunday July 20th Mississauga tore the roof at Arrow Hall. Hip Hop Heavy weights came together for one of the hottest shows of the year! Supernatural hosted the event with some rhymes of his own. Guerilla Union organized a line up of real hip hop superstars such as, NAS who ruled the show, took some time out to talk to us ladies. Nasty Nas, played his classic and new songs like HERO from his latest album, UNTITLED. Nas had suddenly fallen into pressure to change his album title because the first title was so controversial. Kidz In The Hall also came out to put on a kickin' performance. Reunited at last,Pharcyde and A Tribe Called Quest put on an anticipated hype performance. Before Q-tips performance with Phife, Ali and even Jarobi, Q-tip came on with a napsack, sang his solo hits and promoted his tracks from his latest album, The Renaissance. He was such a vivrant thing. Mos Def, who performed songs off his new cd, The Ecstatic, couldn't stop raving about how great Dave Chapelle is. He had to make us all laugh by doing some classic Dave Chapelle skits. I want to thank Mos Def for also giving me a HEMP shirt! When WU TANG killer bees Method Man and Red Man flew to the stage and out in the crowd, so did we. We were dancing up a storm on stage to the crazy and wild out performance. The dangerous duo Meth and Red told the audience that they are in the process of filming a How High sequel! Rakim spit some lyrical content with veteran DJ KID CAPRI. Backstage we were chillin and partying with the legendary hip hop artists. After the show, we rolled to the Hilton Hotel with Kelvin "Posdnuos" Mercer, David Jude "Trugoy the Dove" Jolicœur and Vincent "Pasemaster Mase" Mason from De La Soul. The three wise men are down to earth. I convinced them to contine the party at Nas's official after party at Circa night club. When we were partying at Circa, Nas didn't end up showing up to his own party. Q-tip and Murs showed. Who else got hot in the club? NELLY came to PARTY PEOPLE! Earlier that day, Nelly performed at z103's Summer Rush with our fav girl, Elise Estrada and other acts we don't care about. Nevertheless, Rock the Bells was one of the livest shows of 2008!

EDGEFEST 2008

On Saturday July 12th, 2008, EdgeFest rocked out at Downsview Park, despite the POURRRRRRRRRRRRING rain and wet, dirty and muddy weather. The fans were still in high and drunk spirits as they waited upon their favourite bands to come out. The line-ups on the side stage included indie bands such as, Hostage Life, Creature, The Flatliners and my hommies Modernboys Moderngirls. Local talent, Modernboys and Moderngirls took time out of their schedule to sit down with an interview for us. It's cool to see that some members are still in school. Thanks for inviting us to your house party! Shleby, I hope your foot heals fast. The main stage acts included Ashes Divide, USS, Attack In Black and other up and coming rockstars. The Bravery lived up to their name by performing a great show in the heavy rain fall. I also got a chance to conduct an interview with the ever so lovely, Sam Roberts from Sam Roberts Band. He is so down to earth and real. He gave great advice for the youth of tomorrow. When asked who he was looking foward to seeing, Roberts stated that he was more focused on putting on a good show by his band. Nevertheless, Roberts himself couldn't deny the fact that he was looking forward to seeing the reunion of Stone Temple Pilots. Scott Weiland, who got kicked out from his other band Velvet Revolver, joined forced with his old hommies and band mates, Robert, Dean and Eric to perform some of their classic hits such as, Big Bang Baby, Plush, Interstate Love Song, Sour Girl and Vasoline. Weiland, who was a skeletor figure from years of substance abuse, still had the energy to bounce off the stage and jump into moshing fans. He still got his rockstar voice and snake slithering moves. After their performance, the band joined hands togther and thanked the crowd in appreciation and support. Last but not least, Linkin Park took a late entrance to start their performance with only Mike and Chester performing because the rest of the band memebers were late. Their fans were dissapointed in the beginnning because they paid to see the whole band, not 2/6 of the band. Than, the light went out and came back on with the rest of the band rocking out to What I've Done. This was my second time seeing Linkin Park and one things for sure. These men know how to put on a adrenaline pumping show. LP also played other hits such as, Numb, Crawling, Shadow of the Day and of course their first break out hit, One Step Closer!
