The Paid Dues Festival was bananas…well, at least the second half of it was. There were a bunch of underground acts to start the show, but they weren’t exactly my cup of tea. I say MY show started around 7pm with B-Real…then came Brother Ali, SLAUGHTERHOUSE, Living Legends, and finally Tech N9ne, who ended my night with an electrifying performance (with Krizz Kaliko and Kutt Calhoun of Strange Music). Atmosphere was the final act, but I took off after Tech…
Anyways, NO CAMERAS?!? Get the fuck outta here, you rent-a-cops! No camera deez nuts! And it wasn’t even difficult to sneak it in. Where there is Hip Hop, there will be SPTV. Here’s the first installment of my Paid Dues series…dedicated to Slaughterhouse…I tried to step my game up and give youtube HD a shot, but I don’t know if it’s cuz I uploaded the vid during their maintenance, but they are STILL telling me it’s “processing” after several hours…
Oh, and so I took a break while I was editing this video late last night and stopped through my favorite hip hop blog, NAHRIGHT.COM (shout out to Eskay), and what do I find? It was an HHO interview of Royce at Paid Dues, and he was wearing the custom Slaughterhouse tees I gave them after their set. Yep, that’s right, a Sanz Pareil and Mac N Teez collabo piece, exclusively stamped for Slaughterhouse. Who is Mac N Teez, you ask? Stay tuned and all will be revealed in the episodes to come… Big ups to Royce!
Peace, “BK”
