Jurassic 5
-
Brixton Academy
When I got inside the Spanish villa decor at ceiling level of the stadium
managed to throw me out but still remain tranquil against some phat beats
being spun by the warm up DJ Rodney P whom seemed to love what he
was
doing and wasn't just going through the motion of ploughing through
a
playlist before the big boys came on.
He
even made a point of this by bouncing of the expected hip hop wagon
to
end his session by licking us a shot of some home grown boofness, UK
style! Yes! 'Junglist for the Mentalist' and we hold our fist to chest and
thank you for that Mr P. especially those urban soldiers.
What can I say about the Jurassic? other than what you expect. They came
in
with a well worked medley to make us moist knowing we was
already-seasoned and warm through before, and the crowd rolled and rocked
with them, ooohed and sighhhhed with them as they involved us straight
from the start, and loved us back by keeping the magic going by pulling even
more of our favourite rabbits out of their hat. They kept the spirits high
with
a
mix of DJ theatrics and a cool lesson on how to give a break- beat the right
flava on their 5 mini beat-box machine, which they already knew would make
us
make some more noise.
But
still the 1 DJ and 4 mc sounding as 1 weren't happy with that. So they
went back, way back to dig up some precious fossils of 1998 drizzled over
with their feel good poetical advice.
Oh
yes. The notable CHALI 2NA and the Gang got the vibe was right,
the colours was bright, the lyrics was might and the Jurassic 5 never
let up because they was tighter than a pair of Russell Brand skinnys,
and
the whole crowd had their hands in the air, even me, so they
could feel them as they continued to supplied a melody of drugs cut
with plenty of sunshine.
