FunkMaster Flex presents HIPHOP Legends Concert Series



Last night @BB Kings Time Square NYC was completely alive. Tickets were sold out and the line was long but the night air was warm. Some waited over an hour or so to get in but once they let them all in it was time...DJ Red Alert was on the one's and two's when I walked in the deep crowd.




Funk Master Flex came out to introduce the first performer Dres from Black Sheep who warmed up the stage for the Lords of the Underground who pointed out that NJ has supported NY hiphop for a long time. NJ was definetily in the building..."here come the Lords"!!!









Marley Marl (Juice Crew) kept the stage on fire... Just when I thought it couldn't get better Funk Master Flex came up to introduce Brand Nubian (shot out @sadatx on twitter) with DJ Alamo on the tables. "Slow Down" and "Love me or Leave me Alone" just to name a few of the trios bangers. The crowd was moving, cheering and finishing lines and singing hooks. Positive K, Papa Wu, Ron G, Mad Linx, Kangol from UTFO, Timbo King was in the building as well as Vinnie from Naughty by Nature who came up to promote their next show coming up at BB Kings. The night was definitely NOT over even though it was already about 1:30 in the a.m. becuase the N.O.R.E. came in and took over the entire room of BB Kings with an energy that has sorely been missed.
Noreaga who is a new daddy didn't seem to lose his touch of stage presence and grace. He made his fans proud...

Now my ass was getting tired and since Noreaga took the stage the NY Fire Marshall had come in to make sure we didn't tear the roof down or set anything on fire. If only I had brought my big purse with the 5 hour energy shot becuase I was soooo tired from a full day and it was already 3:30 in the a.m. and Redman and Method still had to take the stage. I didn't want to miss it but I was not about to be found and or caught falling asleep in the spot so I headed my ass out to find a cab home.

Shot out to Beloved, my girl Ceeta and DJ Supreme for the convo.... If you are EVER in NYC or if Brand Nubian or NORE come to your town DO NOT MISS THAT SHOW!!! Once again I say HIPHOP is NOT DEAD!!!!
