My inner-Golden Era stan came out in full effect yesterday when I got to see the Dj Premier vs Pete Rock battle at the East River PArk in NYC. The stage itself is a sort of Hip Hop icon because it is where the now famous "Wildstyle"movie was shot back in 1983. The event started out chill, with DJ Enuff spinning original breakbeats for the crowd, then the Lyricist Lounge crew came out to introduce PR and Preemo. P and P started off with a tribute to Heavy D, then built up with hits through the decades from other artists before starting to play there on hits.
However, it looked like the Hip Hop gods didn't want anyone to win because the power went off right as the 90's hits were about to play and never came back on. Overall, it was great to see 2 of my personal favorites live on stage for the first time, for me. Check the videos below and see some of what you missed!
