This is an important album. You want eyes to stay on Houston??? They better stay on Bun, cuz these new cats not gonna hold 'em. I'm not talkin' bout Paul, Mike, Cham and Slim... I'm talkin' about the folks y'all think you have next up to bat.
NO IMAGE AVAILABLE ON AMAZON????????????
Come on man... Is it that bad?
Tower got the picture at least,
Order it HERE PLEASE TODAY NOW THANK YOU.
Anyway, my life has been hectic. I got a to do list as long as my arm, and people keep steady calling for other shit. Which is good, but man. I like to chilllll and listen to records like Trill. Sunday night I got out the crib tho and headed south to Club Konnections. Bun's first release party/concert of the week. Wow. Man killed it. Check the photos and the slight commentary and recognize the real.
I went by Soundwaves on South Main today with Jeremy Miller from Down Magazine and Soren Baker from Freelance la Familia to check Bun's in-store, but apparently he got held up at the radio station and I had to leave before 5 o'clock traffic ruined my world. So I missed him. Shit was crunk though.
Tonight is Bun's release party at Club GLO downtown. Even though I'm a white, married, 33 years old, father of two... I'm waaaay more Club Konnections than Club Glo and well, I'm tired. I'ma check him out Thursday night at The Roxy. Man's got events all week, including Wednesday night in Dallas at Club Rain.
Me? Wednesday night? I'll be in Austin. Up in that Hot. 93.3 Meltdown concert with DJ Rapid Ric and my folks at ME Television.
Paul Wall, Chamillion, Slim Thug, Webbie, Lil Rob and Smitty all performing. I'ma debut a shirt I got from DJ Ayres and try to get some interviews for my folks. Thursday, Roxy, Houston, Bun B, back to the program.
For now, enjoy these photos I got at Konnections. Go make that Bun record platinum.
You know DJ Chill and Cotorola took care of me at that door. Konnections is no joke. I'm talking about 2000 people every Sunday night. Not easy to get in. You better have peoples. Thank you DJ Chill. Y'all don't even know how DJ Chill be killing it in Houston. He's killing it.
DJ Keno in the House
DJ Ebonix held it down as well
Point Blank and Bam had a group open up. I walked in during their seta nd can't remember the name. Damn.
K.I.D. came on next. He's a lyrical cat I like a lot. Unfortunately, this crowd tonight wasn't trying to see or hear anyone but Bun B. Seriously, they weren't worried about shit else.
Now o.k. You wouldn't know that from seeing this photo of Aztek performing live, but um, they were throwing T-Shirts out. I'm sorry, I don't like to talk down, and I am not, I got no problem with Aztek, but um, man, he had to face the same stone faced crowd as K.I.D. and them. I'm serious, he tried. But this crowd was only raising their hands to catch a T-Shirt, till Bun came out. Throwed photo though. Feel it.
It was super promoter Cap'n Jack's birthday tonight. How's it feel to hit 30 Jack??? Man, the dude has been putting on fly shows for the Houston masses for YEARS. For real, he's a pioneer and one of the main supporters and nurturers of this whole scene. So why did Aztek take the time to diss him at the end of his show??? For real? I hope I wasn't the only one who noticed that shit. Dude straight disrespected Cap'n Jack at the end of his set. Rather than take his problem to the elder, to the man, he announced on the mic something like "And oh yeah, Cap'n Jack. Ididn't like how you treated me and my people at the door nigga. Just cuz we Latinos..." etc. Shit, dude had 50 people on stage with him. If those are the people he came with to the door... Shit, if he didn't expect a lil delay, shit.... I don't know what happened but don't disrespect Cap'n Jack. I felt genuinely bad when I heard that shit. I'll call a hoe a hoe if I feel like I was disrespected, but um, Cap'n Jack, I'd pull him aside and try to have a talk with him. I wouldn't put him on blast. Cap'n Jack has EARNED his respect straight up. Happy Birthday Cap'n Jack. You are most DEFINTIELY SOREAL FAMILY.
Even MDDL FNGZ had a battle. Shit, I love MDDL FNGZ. THey are like the definition of Houston rap. Houston personified. SoReal. But man. I was tripping when they did "Ain't Nobody Fuckin' With Texas." and No one really responded. That shit is a hit to me. I get so mad man. "Ain't Nobody Fuckin' With Texas" is a Texas classic. Sorry.
They fuckin' killed it.
Young Wee got a beat for you.
B.A.N.D.I.T. was happy with the response though...
DJ Chill, Xavier James - Rap A Lot
Peep your boy Dano from Algierz. Outfitter of the Houston stars. He's obviously been chilling with that boy Paul Wall.
Dano and Omar
It was a whole different story when Bun B hit the stage though.
Man killed it.
Show went past 2 a.m., so BIg Steve had the Patron for the thirsty masses.
And the crowd was MASSIVE.
Caine from Ying Yang Twinz was up in the DJ booth the whole time.
At some point this girl started dropping it like it was hot on me. I was all dripped out though so I couldn't really do much but attempt to get a photo, which as you can see, I failed at.
Cap'n Jack and Big Steve run the game, recognizing the real. Notice how I took all these photos from the crowd??? That's because 1. I am not afraid of people. And 2. I hate when every fool in the whole music industry is on the stage. Jack and Steve can be on stage.
J. Prince of course can be on stage.
But the rest of you fools just ruined the show. To a degree.
Wild Thang enhanced it though. Whut it Dew homey?
See many of you in Austin.
Some of you in Houston.
Some of you in New York Oct. 24th with Rapid Ric at Sway.
Some of you in Vancouver at Atlantis with Devin Oct. 31st.
Some of you in Whistler at Moe Joe's in Whistler. Nov. 1st.
Feel the funky real.
