Last night I had the opportunity to see one of my favorite groups of all time perform: Brand Nubians. I been a fan since around 92' when i first heard One For All. I remember workin wit my pops and when we got finished and he paid me I asked him to take me to the record store and thats where i got the Brand Nubians tape and we listened to it all the way home. I was hyped when I got home and played it again with my brother and my friends. There were plenty standout tracks on that albun and when I heard it I was instantly hooked. Their lyrics were strong and to some controversial. Ive always been a person that was proud to be Black but this one one of the albums that made me even prouder. Even to this day I recognize know and understand their music on so many levels. They deinitely have had an affect on me.
Fast forward to last night and I was crazy hyped to check the show. I went solo cause none of my people wanted to hang out and its been a minute since I been out so I had to go out but thats here nor there. It was a nice crowd in the spot. The DJ was doing his thing and i was lovin it. There were a lot of local cats that went on and they did their thing. One group in particular was The Cornel West Theory. They had a live band and everything so I was in the zone. They even had cats break dancing so people were enjoying themselves. During the performances all the Brand Nubian members were in the crowd just vibin with the people taken pictures signin autographs and everything. When Brand Nubians hit the stage the place was crazy packed and ready to go. They ran thru joint after joint after joint and they had the people in a frenzie. definitely an A+ show. I was happy when I asked if a new album was comin and they said yes..........
Peace
