swipe card
...As someone who organizes and books shows myself, I realize that women are heavily outnumbered by men when it comes to rappers, and that schedules often don't work out or whatever…so this is really symptomatic of a larger problem.

Concert Recap: My Journey To Mecca, Soundset 2009

Concert Recap: My Journey To Mecca, Soundset 2009 Me going nuts when Pharcyde dropped "Raise It Up" in tribute to Jay Dee As you can see by the picture I look like I am in a great mood. That's because I was outstandingly over-joyed all day on Saturday in Shakopee, MN at Soundset 2009. I really couldn't have asked for much more the entire day. My camera died roughly an hour and a half into the show (thanks to Erik for the pictures as well as other people on Flickr) and I ended up looking like a lobster from sunburn, but it [...]

P.O.S., Sims, & Dessa: "Low Light Low Life" (Live at Soundset 2009)

P.O.S. "Low Light Low Life" @ Soundset '09
I found this while doing a little YouTube searching for Soundset 2009 footage. I'll continue to post videos when they're of relatively high quality. Feel free to forward videos on to me, too. Particularly if they're of the Fifth Element stage, which I was not able to check out. In this video, a few members of the Doomtree collective get down to "Low Light Low Life," off P.O.S.'s Never Better . The crowd went nuts when Dessa started rapping.
