Bridges Anniversary @ El Cid


(OK, Im going to post more than once a yr. from now on. Ferreals.)
The 7th anniversary of Bridges at El Cid in LA was truly an event to remember (Big ups to Mykill Miers for the VIP invite). Ever witnessed Mark Luv, Icy Ice and Numark kill it on 4 turntables?? Alrite, then.
Classic hip hop, soul, funk and just about every old school b-boy break ever dug was cut and mixed to perfection, as the treacherous three ruled over a packed floor. Now, I know it may sound like im hyping shit up too much. But with all the "hip hop is SERIOUSLY dead now" chatter floating around lately, just seeing these guys kill it (in a packed house with the crowd going nuts) helps remind me this shit ain't goin nowhere. Not to mention that the Spanish decor at El Cid took me back to Unity at the Hacienda in the late 90's... the dj's were already providing the soundtrack.
And on that note, word is that Mark Luv is bringing Unity back to LA (?!?!?!) sometime soon. Keep your eyes peeled for THAT. And while I can't hope for events like these in the 714, maybe all this underground activity will somehow rub off on Santa Ana? (Crosby? Im feelin' the old school club nights, but some of us like it rugged like Rawanda. I know ya'll do too. Holla.)
Til next post (Im serious, your homie's back on his grizzy), PEACE.
(PS: Shoutout to the big homie Toney Clifton AKA Sing Song, and his brand-new mail order hustle. I see you, pimpin!!!!)
