Danny Brown and Baauer


Back in the day when I used to dabble in porn, and by dabble I mean watch not star in,  I used to tell my co worker that I was bored and it was about time to pop in and see what old Jenna Jamison wass up to. Well that was years ago and I no longer watch porn or keep up with their stars, but luckily my friend hit me up the other day to let me know that good old Jenna got arrested for punching out her assistant with a brass knuckles Iphone case. Jenna…still entertaining. I try and avoid old female porn stars for the simple fact that just because they look like beef jerky, doesn’t mean they are as tasty.

What’s the point of that story? Well, back then I was also feeling old and called myself the Kurt Loader of Sixth St. You remember him don’t you? The super old VJ on MTV who was still trying prove himself as relevant by anchoring their news segment. Isn’t he dead? I truly think that MTV is like that movie Moon where they just replace dead VJ’s with their clones.  

Well I’ve graduated a bit and now I’m the Kurt Loader of concerts (see I said concert instead of show). And tonight I will attempt to stay relevant by attending the Danny Brown and Baauer show. You may know Baauer from all of those awful Harlem Shake videos that pop up on Youtube. It’s just a matter of time before you see your parents on one doing what has become the new Macarena! It’s sad really because I actually like that song, along with his other music. Baauer is a West Philly native who makes trap and bass music. If your only experience of it is the Harlem Shake, it’s basically dance music with elements of hip hop, traditional dance, and even some dubstep depending on the producer. It relies heavily on the 808 drum machine and sampling and takes more skill than I have at this point, so I would give these guys a listen when they come to town.  I rate Baauer as FRESH.

I’ve already previewed Danny Brown here a few times but here is the original post.
I was worried that I would look back and regret my FRESH rating of him but the more I listen, the more I like him. He is definitely an acquired taste but once you get used to his voice, you realize that there is skill behind his craziness. And yes, any dude who comes on stage rocking a mumu with half of his hair pressed and the other half shaved better come correct with the rhymes.  “I put my d!ck on your nose now you look like Scottie Pippen” Haha need I say more? FRESH
