Adventures In Rapping…

The dudes that jump off the Hip-Hop Karaoke party are hosting their 2nd annual tribute to B.I.G. on Saturday 03.08.08. This event has progressively gotten better and I fucks with their movement. It’s fun and most of all it’s a fan based expression of Hip-Hop. Imagine listening to cats try to rattle off Das EFX’s ‘They Want EFX’ after a couple of Jack Daniels. The party isn’t about listening to drunk people slur through rap lyrics, but about folks being ever so slightly inebriated that they are uninhibited in their affection for rap music.

Real rap music is for the professionals, but for us weekend SONY Walkman warriors we have the Hip-Hop Karaoke party. Several hundred people chanting out rap lyrics from all of your favorite rap songs of all time.

Plus… Plus… Plus…

Where in Manhattan on a Saturday night are you going to party for FREE?!? No cover to enter. No fee to sign up and rhyme. For the longest time now the hosts have been gassing me up to do a song. I’m thinking I might have to get on stage and put down my rendition of ‘Rebel Without A Pause’. Come hang out and watch me embarrass myself. You never know who is going to fall through the party and bless the fans with one of their songs. Last year O.C. came though and performed his classic ‘Time’s Up’ along with a tribute to the Notorious.

    This may be the best thing I’ve ever heard of.

    No screens or bouncing balls. We have lyric sheets for anyone that needs it but on 9 out of 10 performances, the participants have the lyrics memorized.
