mc chris was awesome, dirty talkin’ and representin’ all the white hip-hop nerdish. he’s done voice work for adult swim, most notably ‘mc peepants’. my favorite bit: “allright ya’ll, i wanna see those muthafuckin cellphones in the air!” predictably, almost everyone in the audience proudly held up and waved their phones and GBAs to the beat. goddamn right.
minibosses tore it up with blistering versions of ‘mega man’ and ‘contra’ - i can only imagine what the original composers would think. it’s amazing the power music has, beyond any other form of reflection of a given subject or theme - it runs deeper, flows further, somehow. the energy of the crowd was palpable - this is our music, our roots, our time, our people, given validation, truth, respect, hope.
as before, you can find pictures from this day here.
