Yeah so tonight I was scheduled to perform at 123 for the WVU Young Democrats show called Party For America. I'm super amped to be involved with something like this so I make my set about 50 some minutes and I'm all hyped up.
I get there about 9:10. Supposed to start at 9. First mistake (no black jokes either! lol). Cortez is there but he has to set up his tables. 9:20. The he spins some stuff to get in the groove of things. 9:25. I'm on.
This would have to be my worst performance in awhile. I just wasn't in the moment I suppose. I started with "PSA" but it was really too slow. "Best Fall Back" was better. "Death Before Dishonor Part 2" was good. "Come Out Swinging" was cool until Strizy messed up on the tables and threw me off and I did the third verse second and the second verse third. I skipped "Feelin' So Good". Mistake. "Gun To My Head" started out good but I messed up the second verse and we killed it. I never perform it. "Ain't Right" was okay except for me stumbling over the actual track so I could say my Obama line. Then I think "Demon In The Bottle" was next and that was so so. And then...my set was over so the next band could go on.
I squandered a great opportunity to get new fans since a lot of the people there weren't typical hip-hop fans. But I blew it. I blame myself for being late tho and for trying to do too much. I should have stuck with what I know.
As for "Swagger Like Us", I really like it but I don't think anyone else is too impressed with it. No one commented on it on lj or facebook. Chiv said he enjoyed it (which doesn't sound that great lol), E said it was okay and Johnathan said it was a good track. So I don't know. I'm about to put it on myspace and post it on wvrapscene and see what happens. But I'm getting the same feeling about "Swagger" as I had about "J's And Nikes". I really like it but I don't know if it'll make the final cut of the new mixtape. We'll see.
After 6 performed at midnight, the whole crew headed to Rain and Octane to see Moose and Sean respectively. MI dropped me off. Now here I am.
Angel will be here around 7 this evening with all her stuff from Keyser which means she'll finally be moved in! So that's one thing I can look forward to. I work all weekend tho and I'm probably gonna miss another Soundvizion video shoot tonight.
So yeah, I'm gonna twitter, check facebook, and go to bed. Until later.
EDIT: Myspace rejected my "Swagger" upload for copyright reasons! WTF?!
