Paris was the first show Doom did in Europe. First time after 20 years of career. After this one, he did Amsterdam and London. I’m really proud I’ve been part of this show and help a bit Free Your Funk that organized this show. They (Emmanuel Forlani and Denis Jelen = Free your funk) did a great job, done everything to make this show work. Of course as most of you know, Doom likes to send unknown people on stage with the mask on. That was the main question : Will the real Doom be on stage or not. The sound engineer and the manager were really relax “Don’t worry it will be him“. And we were as well relax when we finally saw the real Doom around, late in the afternoon.

Doom came 20 minutes before the show and stayed on stage 1 hour with two encore and left immediately after the show. I know some people were disappointed but I think that the real fan of Doom was really happy. Doom IS NOT a great performer anyway + he usually does not give a f*** and sends someone else on stage instead of going on stage, or sometimes he sends someone on for 30 minutes and then comes and does like 3 songs and leaves. It was the real Doom for an hour, did lot of his classical.
The only bad point for me was that : HE DID NOT DO RHINESTONES COWBOY ! I told him I really wanted this song, he told me “oh really, I will do it in Amsterdam and London then”, hope he did for the people that were at those shows, this songs is def my fav.

MORE VIDEOS & Pics after the jump

Here is the last video by dj Babu #10 “Eurotrip”. He came to our Free your Funk event with Blu, Fashawn, Exile, Diamond District and Trek Life as he was in Paris and took a lot of videos. Was wondering how it would come out, so here it is. Paris takes a big part in the video, I love it (lol).

Voici la dernière video publié par Dj Babu #10, “Eurotrip”. Il était venu à l’évenement Free your Funk avec Blu, Fashawn, Exile, Diamond District et Trek Life, comme il était déjà sur Paris et avait prit beaucoup de vidéos. J’étais donc assez curieuse de voir ce que cela allé donner et voici la réponse en images. Paris prend une place importante dans cette vidéo, j’adore (lol).

I just found this on yesyesyall.org (Man, I love this blog!), I loved the cover they posted (I think they made it, beautiful) with this quote of D’angelo “Smack your ass, pull your hair“. As a big fan of D’angelo I was curious to see what was that. It’s a beattape by Chris P (I didn’t find anything about him on google unfortunately) made of D’angelo’s music only and as Chris P said “One Prince sample and one Digital Underground sample (both to enhance the particular beat), and ?uest’s drums from erykah’s “booty” on two beats. Other than that, it’s ALL D’angelo samples.“. This is dope I like it a lot, it’s not new but I never heard it before. I hope you enjoy it!

>>> Sulaiman, a emcee just took some of the beats fby Chris P to rap over, download it here.

Je viens juste de trouver ça sur yesyesyall.org (Ce blog est excellent!) avec une citation de D’angelo, Smack your ass, pull your hair“. En tant que fan de D’angelo ça m’a interpellé, j’ai donc écouté. C’est en fait une beattape de Chris P (inconnu jusque là et je n’ai malheureusement rien trouvé sur internet) composé de sample de D’angelo comme Chris P le dit lui même, “Un sample de Prince et un de Digital Underground et les drums de Questlove prient sur le morceau “Booty” d”Erykah badu. A part ça, ce ne sont que des samples de D’angelo“. Perso j’ai beaucoup aimé le projet, j’espère que vous apprécierez autant que moi.

Enjoy.

Here is my little Feb’s playlist I’ve called “C’est Quoi L’amour” (what is love?) because “Feb is for lover” (dixit Bobbie Bomdia). I think this playlist might be good before to sleep or while chilling with some friends.
I hope you enjoy.

Playlist after the jump

Free Your Funk event put together a good show with a GREAT line up : Diamond District, Trek Life, Fashawn, Blu and Exile… Dj Babu came by to enjoy the show as well as Dela (great french producer). Trek Life went first (unfortunately I don’t have videos) then Diamond District with lot of good energies, Oddisee even played some new beats, Fashawn and Exile came after, Fashawn is really full of energy and finally Blu, one of my favorite emcees of the new generation. A nice freestyle w/ all the artists ended up the show perfectly (videos coming next week) and a live MPC by Exile!
