My KRS-One Concert Review

I decided to start reviewing the concerts/shows/events I go to since I'm fortunate enough to go to quite a few!
The KRS-One show was November 17, 2011 at the Commonwealth Bar & Stage in Calgary, AB. The show was put on by Illmovements.
I realized after that I totally lied in this video: there was only 3 ciphers not 4.

** Please note that these are my own personal thoughts on the show and do not reflect the views of any of my associates. These comments are not meant to be hurtful or negative, merely truthful. If you have any issue with anything I've said here then I would be more than happy to talk it out in a respectful and adult manner.

Like the review !! But for the record - I've NEVER heard of an opening act paying to be on a tour. I know the hip-hop scene tends to do business in some ...let's say "unusual" ways. But I can safely say I've NEVER heard of that.

Solid review though :) Good amount of detail.. lotta blogs and stuff are a little skimpy on the details sometimes. Keep it up !!!!

@yourmanwatson yeah, I wasn't too sure about that, just something I heard around the way. thanks for watching and for your comments :) take care and happy new year

@LiveMixDJS thank you for your sweet compliment and thanks for watching :)

MCs are who they are because they are honest and upfront. they arent political figures, they are straight to the point, speak their mind when they think it. what comes out in a freestyle is what comes out and what was on his head. as for serato, just another thing that was on his mind. but t serato IS wack and makes doing things easy enough for kids to grasp.

[itsjosiecruz]

@grimeshine I appreciate your point of view. Like I said in the video, though there are those "kids" who start DJing on serato without learning the craft from the ground up, I personally don't think serato is wack because I get to see first-hand what some DJs (who started on vinyl) are able to do with it. It's a pretty amazing piece of technology in my opinion, but everyone is entitled to their own! Thx for watching :)

LMAO@HOW YOU WENT TO THE CLIPS OF "TURN MY SH1T UP"..

AS FAR AS HIS SHOWS GO..HE'S GETTIN' TO THE POINT WHERE HE'S ABOUT TO STOP DOIN' SHOWS SO IT'S LIKE HE'S GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS AND BORED WITH IT..YEAH..HE PROBABLY HAS A HEARING PROBLEM TOO..

[yourmanwatson]

@itsjosiecruz Happy New Year to you too ! Just putting in my 2 cents :)

[yourmanwatson]

Also - yelling at the sound guy is usually a sign that the artist is having trouble hearing themselves. This is supported by the fact that he had feedback issues after that. probably means the sound guy was an amateur.

That's hilarious about Serato.. LOL.. With you on that. Seems silly for a big artist like that to even bother mentioning.

@itsjosiecruz I didn't see all of krs set, i missed the last 15min or so to see some off immortal technique on the other stage. But i heard later he just walked of the stage....like in calgary? If i wasn't as much of a krs head I would have been disapointed in parts of the show, like him wondering the crowd and dragging the freestyles on for so long. The end of the show was him jumping back in the crowd and it looked like he left with some of the people from the crowd?

@itsjosiecruz Hey,funny you mention RTB, i've been to San fran the last 2 years for it. in10 he performed criminal minded,it was dope,but calgarys show was better,he's a better performer in an intimate setting,cmn wealth was perfect! If you have never been to the states for RTB it's HEAVEN! if your a hip hop head, I've seen all my favorate artists now. in 2010 tribe performed and they are on the bill every second year so that is an amazing expierence.
