ooooooyyyy!!!
dizzee ripped shit up tonight, as could be expected ... his flow is so fucking tight, i'm just waiting for him to make some big guest appearance on a major US album and have him blow up ... he puts twista to fucking shame
dj wonder played tons of UK grime/drumn'bass, perfect intro for dizzee, unfortunately he didnt come out for another half hour or so, until all his red bulls and water bottles were set up
things i noticed: as per all the mag articles on him, dizzee fucking loves US hip-hop and really wants to be accepted here ... on his two biggest tracks ("fix up look sharp" and "dream") the DJ threw down both some biggy smalls and fat joe on the verses and it worked so seamlessly, so perfect ... but also so unecessary, just came off as kinda forced ...
dizzee's flow just dominated the night, i maybe understood 5% of what he was saying, and that was plenty ... any of the songs where he was actually enunciating just kinda dragged on and sucked, and the songs where he just let his flow take over were unreal
just having another album under his belt made his show so much better than the last opening gig for the streets, much more diverse material and he looked a lot more comfortable controlling the stage and the crowd
dj wonder had some of the dirtiest and deepest bass i have ever heard at 930 ... played some really interesting stuff, almost like a UK version of crunk, and then veered into deep drumn'bass before dizzee's set
club was EMPTY around 9pm, maybe filled to half-full by showtime, but the first few rows were really into it
wot!!!
