Your Day

Franco Pepe Kalle · 08-11-2012, 07:17 PM

My dad and I had a interesting conversation about music. I was speaking about how I think Franco and Pepe Kalle are the masters of music in general in the Congolese music sense. My dad was livid like they are not. I said yes they are and he is like you are crazy. I said dad, I felt this way for 5 years, what makes you think I will change that. My dad was like, you need hear more BELLA BELLA and LIPUA LIPUA than Franco and PEPE KALLE. I was like sure I will try but those bands I don't care for as much. We had a interesting dialogue.

I met Aesop Rock tonight. Here's the story.

He played here and the show was beyond amazing. Easily the best hip-hop show I've seen. The fun(ny) part came after the show was over. Aesop was hanging around his merch stand taking photos with people and such. I bought the Skelethon CD from the merch guy and then went to get it signed by Mr. Rock. There was a visibly drunk guy ahead of me who was blabbering at him and when I approached with my CD, Aesop turned his attention to me but, being the polite man that I am, I gestured that drunk guy wasn't finished talking.

Note: Aesop had just been onstage for over 2 hours and then spent another hour or so pleasing fans so he was pretty dazed. Here's how the experience went:

Drunk guy to Aesop: "I really like your direction. Are you gonna, like do a repeat?"

I chuckle.

Aesop to drunk guy (also chuckling): "Repeat what?"

Drunk guy: "Like do another encore?"

Me to drunk guy: "I think the encores are over, man" as I lightly touch his shoulder in a totally genial way.

Drunk guy to me: "Don't touch me, nigger. You don't know me!"

Aesop to drunk guy: "Hey, relax man"

I gave the universal hands up signal meaning "don't worry, I won't touch you or even look at you again" and proceed to get Aesop to sign the Skelethon CD I just bought. Then I tell Aesop I've been a fan since Float and that he continues to get better. He thanks me, I shake his hand and leave the club.

Here's some pics of the night..

I got to talk to Aesop after the show as well back in 2010, though I didn't have to deal with any drunk people (except myself of course). I told him that I listened to "9-5ers Anthem" as I walked to the bus stop to go to work every morning. I wish I got a picture with him, but I didn't want to bother him too much. I found out he's playing here on the 3rd of September and I'm tempted to go, even if it is a Tuesday.

I drank for the first time in about 2 months last night. A guy pinned me to the ground and spat on my face, then he cooked me a steak dinner. Then cut the toes out of my socks while I slept. Scotland.

Edit: I know this should really be in the bitch box, but when I was writing what happened I couldn't muster the strength to go on a pointless rant.

Why did he pin you to the floor and spit on you??? JAYZUS!

We were carrying on fighting (I think) then that's how I got pinned and then he literally just spat on my face. I could've ****ing killed him. Dirty bastard. Who the **** spits in someone's face.

That blows. When I first read it I thought you meant that it was some sort of fetish.

You think he only likes Franco and Pepe Kalle but when you find out that he hears other artists, you are shock. Girls are the sexy thing that God created. Important to notice FPK.
