i don't know why this crossed my mind this morning. i was thinking like you know i should have fun when im performing. im performing this saturday and was thinking about which songs im a do. and i just realized like fuck it i ain't getting paid for the performance so i should atleast have fun and it will probably make my performance way better.

usually i don't really have fun when im performing im just hella focused on giving a good performance and using the mic properly. i kinda get in a zone where im not really thinking any thoughts just straight up rapping feel me.

discuss

and oh yeah you're all invited to the urban youth arts festival this saturday at precita park from 12-7pm free food, free music, free paint, live art

Performing, for me, is the ultimate high. I can't explain it, but when I'm on stage I'm a whole new man. Kinda strange though, 'cause public speaking/presentations and shit terrify me. But when I'm on stage, I know the people are there for me to entertain them...so that's what I do.

The stage is not just a place to spit, it's a place to go all out and keep people interested. If that means stopping the show for a few seconds to get everybody to take a drink, or to tell a bitch in the audience that she's bad as fuck...so be it. Nothing better to me.

yeah performing is sort of a release for me. After i perform is when i get that feeling you're talking about the ultimate high. But i was thinking about if i have fun during the performance. and im gonna try to have fun during the performance.

ive performed 5 times in the last 2 months

im trying to be a better peformer. i think that's what makes an artist a real artist is the ability to rap well live at a show or on the spot.

Unless you can perform well live you're not an emcee. You're just a fucking rapper.

Best performances I've seen are when you can tell they are having fun. You can also tell when they aren't.

Performing is just one of those things you either have it or you dont.....I never liked gettin up in front of people for class etc but when i get on stage its a completely different feeling...

I like to get drunk, not like fall on my face drunk, but like jumping up on top of a speaker drunk.....If im not like dripping sweat by tha time my set is over i dont feel like i put my all into it......ahahaha

Exactly. Before I get on stage, it's routine for me to have a white russian or two (or Hen and Coke), and 2 beers. Get that goooooood buzz.
