Yeah got to meet+open for Ant Marshall. One Half of the duo that created THE LYRICIST LOUNGE. Which started out as a open mic event in NYC with MC such as Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Eminem, Notorious B.I.G. etc blessing the mic, to mixtapes, to a MTV Freestyle/Sketch Comedy show. Ant and company played a great set, a blend of old club classics, some disco edit, afro beat, dancehall, and even showin a lil bay love. Lyricist Lounge...man that was a good chunk of my high school years soundtrack. Ant mention to me another mix/project is on the way Lyricist Lounge 3! Be on the lookout!
One of my fave Hip Hop jams! Classic. An Occult connection appeared to me the other day...been listening to Ordo Templi Orientis Podcast+reading up on Aleister Crowley, and a connection came to me. The number 93 is short hand greeting among Thelemites for a famous Crowley quote "Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law, Love is the law, love under will." Thelma (Will)+Agape(Love) which numerically adds up to 93. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/93_(Thelema)
93 till Infinity...souls of mischief...Hieroglyphics...hmmm... Crowley "inspiration" came to him in a travel to Egypt... alot of lil interesting degrees of seperation. From pyramid album graphics...Khmetics/5 percenters name drops...etc...
Eh alot of Occult iconography/concepts in Hip Hop Music is a blend of Eastern/Western Esoteric traditions which traces back to origins in Egyptian Mystery Schools. Khmetics!
This Party was off the hook...On some of that feel good, classic, real HIP HOP tip. J-Rocc of the Legendary Beat Junkies/Stones Throw rocked the ones and twos hard...giving the crowd what the crowd need and then some (some ballsy MJ accapella drop/blends had me bugged out). The legendary Pete Rock took the night home...drop dope beats after dope beats gving SF that basement NYC party vibe.
Here some shots of the Legendary Pete Rock in action @ SOM SF
