SLAUGHTERHOUSE – ‘MOVE ON’

Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

People ask me why I haven’t been back on the X spot. Did XXL fire me? A lot of folks have been scrambling in the new economy of the entertainment industry. Was BILLY X. SUNDAY’s weblog a casualty of the economic downturn. No. it was not. The people at XXL have convinced me that I have outgrown the character that I used to submit my columns to you. I think they are right. People have been long confused about who writes shit here and at xxlmag.com on the regular. I have kind of enjoyed the fact that 99% of the people who didn’t know this are the people I see at every music event.

*Sidebar: I just was approached by a dude from the camp of white rapper contestant John Brown who says that I have been swagger jacking his name BILLY SUNDAY, because he and JOHN BROWN were the first people to use those names. I know of JOHN BROWN from the white rapper show and from the videos he puts up on the web and from the column he puts in at Complex. I’ve never heard any tracks from the rapper calling himself BILLY SUNDAY.*

WILLIAM H. SUNDAY, BILLY X. SUNDAY and BILLY SUNDAY are all nom de’ plumes that I will retire since DP is the dude that is left paying the taxes at the end of the year. Let DALLAS PENN reap some of the rewards that come from sitting awake sometimes for 36 straight hours on the internets. It’s time for DALLAS to call back to his well of strength for the next transition. In a short while the internets will change all over again. You all have spent your good time reading these weblog entries, or drops, as BILLY X. SUNDAY used to call them.

The time has arrived to move on to something new.

Will you come with your boy DP?

The Roots Jam Session…

Going to see the Roots Jam Sessions at the Highline Ballroom is something like going to church mixed with going on a safari. Hear me out on this one…

When you go to church you know that there will be some part in the service where someone gets touched by the holy spirit. They will start chanting and speaking in tongues and then breakdancing. At least, that is how it pops off at the churches that I go to.

The Roots at the Highline Ballroom are in their natural element. These dudes are performers of the highest caliber. Nothing slows down the Roots movement at the Highline. There are no commercial interruptions or nervous TV hosts. There is only the jam.

Earlier in the week I was treated to a performance at Carnegie Hall from the Roots and some other notables. This was my first time in Carnegie Hall and Chocolate Snowflake selected the best seats. It’s incredible to watch these dudes transform themselves from the staid surroundings of Carnegie Hall into the loose fittings of the Highline.

I don’t bring C.S. with me to the Highline because I am usually getting too loose my damn self. This show was courtesy of the people at OKayPlayer. Earlier that evening I was treated to the bar courtesy of the corporate card of ONSmash.com and Capitol Records. So as you can imagine, I was quite loose.

The Highline Ballroom event is about as smooth as you would want a concert to be. The deejay that warms you up plays classic rap, rock, funk, soul and R & B. The Roots don’t play that diva shit and they get to business early. Black Thought warms up his vocal chords while the band flexes its musical muscles in the early minutes. Buckle your seatbelts because the spaceship is about to take off. The Roots are similar to the crew of the starship Enterprise. Maybe that is why they call the lead guitar Captain Kirk.

Every Roots stan (El Gringo?) wet dream.
