Blu @ Black Cat DC

the show was already running an hour behind.

i was busy texting a few friends when these two guys in front of me (we'll call them Jim from Tennessee and Maleek from DC) decided to look over their shoulders and chat me up.

Jim: *mumbles something while staring at me*
me: i'm sorry..?
Maleek: yea, she looks like she knows Blu.
me: well, no...not personally. do you?
J&M: *laughing ensues*
me: *they get my trademark polite smile/rolling of the eyes*
J: yea, i drove all the way from Tennessee to see him perform
me: REALLY?!? wow...
M: where are you from?
me: i live in Maryland.
M: but where are you from?
me: Jamaica.
J: OHMYGOSH really?!? my best friend is Jamaican, he runs track with me and...
me: *my polite smile/rolling of the eyes combo was cut short cus Blu walks on stage with a huge grin on his face*


yes, and he killed it performing favorites (for those who are familiar) from his first album, Below The Heavens like Dancing in The Rain, Blu Colla Workers, and my absolute favorite:
No Greater Love - Blu & Exile

i think its important to note that Jim from Tennessee knew allll the lyrics to every song.

and, yea, Exile was there in all his djing glory LOL

great show, and that was just the opener. i understand he killed it in NYC, as well?

yea, he sure did..i have video of it, but its not the best of quality. the power connection also gave out in the middle of his performance. the entire crowd (including Exile) was like "AAAWWWWWW!!"
GOOD TIMES.
