DPG

March 11, 2011

Cross another one off the concert checklist. The Dogg Pound Gangstaz came to my neck of the woods last night to the Rock It Room. I know I probably say this all the time, but this was one of the best concerts I have ever been to. I think I know what it is though. I am just a fanboy. These are the guys I grew up on from that G-Funk era in the 90′s. Listening to Dogg Food on my walkman and just imagining gangsta shit in the streets of my non-ghetto suburban neighborhood. What a time of life…

“We live…tonight I serve two thousand MC’s. We live…cause none can’t fuck with the DPGz!” – Kurupt on the song New York New York

Welcome To The Terrordome

January 17, 2011

The night starts off at a Ethiopian place around my block called the Piano Lounge. It wasn’t good and it wasn’t bad….it was just forgettable.

I am going to construct a list. See if I can use my pea brain to somehow jot down every single concert I have ever been too and all in sequential order. At the top at number one would be Boys II Men featuring Tevin Campbell and Babyface and at the bottom would be Public Enemy.

It has been said in books and magazines that It Takes A Nation Of Millions To Hold Us Back is one of or if not, the top hip-hop album ever to be created. Even when the Rolling Stones mag was creditable, it placed that album as #45 out of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

My man Flav. Dude is over 50 years old and he still wears his clock prouder then ever. Regardless of his questionable career as of late, you have to appreciate his energy that he brings to the stage. All positive aggression and cussing and middle finger pointing that all supports the cause. I can only hope I am the same when my time comes.

Rest In Piss

My niece is already one years young. I did the math. By the time she is 18 years old, I will be 48 years shitty and balder then a brand new dildo.

Dennis Eckersley is probably my favorite Oakland Athletic of all time. From the stash to the side arm delivery, the guy was a rare breed in today’s baseball. I’ll even over look the infamous 1988 Dodger game when he got rocked by Kirk Gibson. Fuck that dude straight in his testicles.

Monday night Warriors game. They almost blew a 32 point lead. Thirty-two points! By the end of it, we got the “W” only by four points. They sure know how to make a shitty game dramatic. Mind you the Pistons are in last place in their division.

Big fist pump for all you bastards!

Stopped by FIFTY24SF Gallery to check out the new installation by those pot smokin’ creators, Imaginary Foundation.

This is no cut and paste job using photoshop. All these pieces have been hand created the old fashion way with oils on canvas. The beauty is not within the technique of the brush but the idea that all these images were conceived through someone’s artistic creativity.

My favorite piece from the show. I’ve seen this on shirts and skateboards but the original kills them all.

Speaking of killing them all…tacos from the taco truck near Best Buy. If you don’t know, now you know.

SF Auto Show was also in town during the Thanksgiving break at Moscone Center. This is the new Lexus LFA coming out in 2012. A mean son of a bitch for a car and you can just get it for a measly $375k. On a side note, taking pics of cars has got to be the most boring shit in the world.

Last but not least, I saw one of childhood R&B groups last night at Yoshi’s SF. Tony Toni Toné was one of the great bands of the 90′s and best of all, they were from our city around the Bay that we call Oakland. Only one thing unknown to my knowledge…

Who in the fuck is the fake as Raphael Saadiq on stage! Did I miss something? I had to double check some Wikipedia pages when I got home just to brush up on some info. I knew they broke up at one point but I figured they’d unite just to do some concerts for some cash.


But you be the judge. The carbon copy wasn’t that bad but still, something about Rey Rey not being there just didn’t make it 1994 again.

Super producer Just Blaze performed at Yoshi’s this Saturday. Special surprise guest of the night was Jay Electronica, boyfriend and third baby daddy to the most tantalizing vagina in the biz…miss Erykah Badu. Hope dude doesn’t tweak out after the break up. Goat leggings with snow boots is not a good look no matter how famous you are. Big thanks to Steve and Adam of the Jazz Mafia band for the free tickets to the show. Excellent performance as usual fellas.

Mother fuckin’ poonani yeah! Shit doesn’t get much better then this! Sun on my back, wind in my face…all I need is some sperm and I’ll feel like a born again adolescent tween in my hay days.

Decided to go and head over to the Francis Ford Coppola bar to get our mafia zone on. They say the Italian beer will make you feel some indigenous thoughts but it only made me want to pee every three seconds.

Later in the night, we got to check out Audio Alchemy at Yoshi’s SF presented by Dan The Automater (above) featuring DJ Q-Bert, Shortkut, The Jazz Mafia All-Stars and Mars-1.

Special appearance of the night with the Hieroglyphics featuring Casual and Knobody

And the man, the myth…the legend. Second to Pacquiao, Q-Bert has to be the 2nd most famous Filipino out there. Dubbed the Hendrix of DJing, the dude is absolutely the best at his craft…and he represents Daily City of all places.
