Shit here goes nothin...first night at Club Ice (not the Icehouse) saw hella Oakland cats goin hyphy on damn near every song even tho the two DJ's (Kid Capri and some jabroni) never spun any bay shit, not even Tell Me When to Go. They kept hintin around that they would play it, askin "Where my Bay niggas at?" but never played it. I'm from Detroit but got hella love for my Bay and Oakland cats, they was definitely reppin in there. Was giggin right next to Beanie Sigel damn near half the night and didn't know till my boy told me hahahaha I think i mighta popped the nigga colla a couple times lol. While the club was lettin out, the DJ in the front threw on Keak "Super Hyphy" and I went dumb as hell like I got my second wind at like 4:30 in the morning (7:30 my time) and when the song went off I rushed the DJ booth to tell the DJ good loox on that last cut. Dude was talkin bout how he fucks with the bay, showed me all the songs he had on his DJ set up, told me come back Friday or Saturday, and gave me a mix cd. No new shit on there, but a good mix of that hyphy shit so I could let me folx that never heard it hear it. Check him out if you can, DJ Plava out of Phoenix I think.
Friday night I'm on the corner of Tropicana and Las Vegas Blvd in the middle island next to 2 young dudes, then I see em run towards this car stopped at the light. First I think they bout to rob this fool, so I look over and see it's Haji Springer! Not a big fan of dude but I thought it would be funny for the folx back home to see so I took a quick pic of him throwin up the T in his yellow cab, funny thing is he was bumpin Snoop lol.
Saturday night, back at club Ice, kept tryin to get the DJ to throw some bay shit on, and his excuse was always, "I just played like 2 bay sets back to back, I'll play some more in a few". The problem was, his room was not crackin, so I was bouncin between his room and the main room. DJ Prostyle was in the main room, plus like a million bitches hahahaha. Eventually Prostyle played Super Hyphy, Blow the Whistle, Tell me when, and one other song all back to back. As you all know, them Oakland niggas went wild again hahahaha. DJ Phlava had more of a selection on his setup (Feelin Myself, Traxamillion, the Pack, and any other shit you can think of), but I never got to hear it cuz it was no hoes where he was spinnin, or he mighta been lyin all together. For some reason, the broads was not messin wit you unless you was gettin hyphy or was wit a nigga gettin hyphy, so by displaying my hyphyness, I pulled the bulk of my hoes in the club this night hahahaha.
Sunday I'm just walkin the strip and the millionth dude walks up to me like "I'm takin donations for my first rap album, blah blah blah...whatever you can spare" real humble like, then he hands me the CD before I even pay him for it, I guess he was waitin for the money. Usually I tell a dude I'm not payin no skrilla for no CD if I don't know who you are, you better give me a free sampler cd and leave some contact info for when I wanna re up on some new shit. This shit went different tho. I looked at the CD, and it said Black Nate Debiase! I busted out laughin and chopped it up wit dude for a minute, definitely had to cop this one, told him how I never heard his shit but heard the name thru JT/GLP and what not. He told me bout how he was rappin with them back in like 94, didn't really elaborate, but it was funny as hell how he was actin like he was a new artist. I still haven't listened to the cd lol.
