(I had to reblog this from afrikanspaceprogram, I was there for this one. my monkey ass took pictures with a motherfucking Holga like it was my layaway Leica. lots of history lost to me that night, only to be regained tonight…)
JAYDEE, COMMON, MADLIB AT FONDA THEATRE 2004
What A Night!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
“I was at this show and @ the time i was Djing for SOL UPRISING(Lil Sci and Stacy Epps) and we were the opening act for the MADVILLAIN/JAYLIB Party so we walk in and Doom(wit no Mask) walks up greets us (i knew who he was im a KMD fan SON!)……So we walk out to the floor and who do i see on the other side of the floor…. DILLA walking around reading something….walk 2 the back stage and PB Wolf is setting up on stage run into J.Rocc and as i always ask J.Rocc (even when i see him now) “Where We Smoke @ ?” As im sound checking Madlib walks up and dap exchanged. Then i head to the “produce section”! Go out to open up the show and im playing Ta`Raach Inst`s and then curtains open up @ that point thats the most people i ever seen…So im lightweight trippin……we rock do the thang all is dope!……nights just starting and Egon,J.Rocc,PBW drop dj sets. During PBW`s set i went 2 the backstage 2 smoke one “U know _G” and only people i can remember running into was Havana Joe,B+, Coleman, Rhettmatic, and Sci…… Then as im going up the stairs 2 see the show cause Madlib`s about 2 hit the stage i see DILLA standing there @ the top of the steps i gave him dap and walked out 2 the side of the stage where everybody was congregating and i could tell Dilla was kinda nervous and so Madlib and J.Rocc is doing the thang killing it as u see and when it was time for Dilla 2 join Madlib seems like we all levitated or some shit it was HYPE!!!! HYPE!!!! HYPE!!!! HYPE!!!!!! I remember looking 2 my left side and seeing DOOM mask off sipping a Heinken wit the gold fronts on blast smiling hard and then Kareem Riggins and Common pop`d up and it seems like as soon as Common walked in he went straight 2 the stage….So after the Jaylib set…. DOOM goes on 2 tall henikens in hand and was his own dj (cdj status) kills it!! does Operation Doomsday classics then into Madvillain wit Madlib on back up vocals and Madlib even does a drum solo and Daedelus pops up on stage playing a accordian during of course “ACCORDIAN” WHAT A NIGHT!!!! and the funniest part after such a dope show was 2 see Doom escape maskless walking amidst fans in the parking lot and them NOT KNOWING hahaha” _Ras_G
