Last Monday night, I was speaking with my compadre Mikey McFly and he brought up the fact that Black Thought and The Roots Crew was going to be in town at Silk City for the 215 Magazine x UBIQ x Heinekin Green Room event. Everyone knows how I feel about The Roots so I was HYPE. Luckily for me, Mikey had a spot so I tagged along with him on Wednesday night for the event. It was an ill concert all the way through and I credit that to the fact that it was a VIP +1 event, meaning "This aint a free for all, you have to have a connection." The crowd wasn't huge like normal Silk crowds and the vibe was HIP HOP and thats all one could ask for.
The dopest thing of the whole evening was the fact that I was able to tag along with Mikey to "The Studio" that Tayibb Smith, 215 Magazine Founding Publisher, invited him to. Was able to hang with some of The Roots and 215 Mag crew. All chill people just vibing. I walk in the door and there's Dice Raw. What most don't know is Dice's mom lives on my block by my soon to be old apartment so I had met him quite a few times. He's one of the most chill and genuine cool folks I've ever met. We had a convo on life and he congratulated me on finally being done college. So while me and Mikey are cooking up another scheme to take over the world, Here comes Black Thought from the side entrance. He came in and dapped us up and everything. Just real chill. In my mind im thinking, this dude's a legend and its an honor to be in the same room as him. Not all artists are arrogant and rude. This night proved it all.
Props to Mikey McFly for the pictures.
