If you're looking for the perfect recipe for disaster, the BARS Awards had it on lock tonight!
Security was a joke. Personally, I did not have a ticket. Yet I was able to cruise directly to back stage, as did everybody else. I should have never made it past the gate.
One of the opening acts was just awful. And I'm being nice. It was so bad, it was almost enjoyable. Like slowing down to check out a violent car wreck. They did throw Swishers and money out to the audience. That didn't stop the people in the back from booing.
The show itself was not well prepared. The DJ's weren't given any music for some of the artists, which added to delays, which caused people to lose interest, which encouraged people to go cruise around and end up back stage because of the fucked up security.
I felt bad for the artists. This was their time to be recognized and shine a little brighter. The event to honor them was taken away. Not because of their fans, but solely due to poor planning by the event coordinators.
If you're from the Bay, you know how we do it... They should have been better prepared.
All in all it was another missed opportunity for the Bay Area rap scene to get some positive national exposure.
What a disappointment.
