Poor, this past Saturday at Capitol Garage for the release of his latest CD, Rayz.
Courtesy of Sacramento N&R
Dueling hip-hop: Does the local hip-hop scene feud? Answer: Dunno. But there were two legit hip-hop CD-release shows this past Saturday, and both drew from the same crowds. Got beef? Anyway, I stretched myself thin and hit up both shows: Poor’s Rayz release this past Saturday night at Capitol Garage (1500 K Street); and a few blocks east, Blee’s Full Course Meal drop at The Distillery (2107 L Street). At Cap Garage, Plush Lush, wearing a Neighborhood Watch T-shirt and a Toronto Blue Jays ball cap, opened Poor’s party, DefEye also on the mic and DJ Admant serving up beats and scratch. Plush Lush fired off rhymes while DefEye wrapped the mic cord around his arm and backed him up. The crowd’s energy hit peak during “Word Life,” everyone hopping to Plush’s flow: “I’m like the hip-hop version of Lee Scratch Perry / Got an ear for the classics and the weed sack heavy.” Notice how hip-hop shows have way better intermission music than rock gigs? Case in point: DJ Kool Kuts busted out “U Can’t Touch This,” Random Abiladeze pantomimed, and the in-between sounds were more entertaining than most local bands’ sets. C Plus never showed up to perform—trapped in Stockton at Lupe Fiasco?—so the man of the hour, Poor, took the stage next. And Poor has serious flow. He raps with a big smile, his long, braided hair dropping down over his Ferrari-red jacket’s shoulders. And his lyrics come fast, automatic, but still dynamic. “I see the mark of Lucifer on state buildings / I can’t walk past the Capitol without catching a funny feeling” he raps, shuffling back and forth to an organic beat of clankety high-hat taps, deep bass bumps and a cool, dirty organ run. Fellow Tribesmen and Kool Kuts assisted, and the crowd of more than 125 people responded with heart. Later, over at The Distillery ’round midnight, it was a different vibe: Replace Capitol Garage’s bright, Technicolor décor—complete with Musical Charis band photos by Monkpond—with Distillery’s prime-rib-and-spaghetti, dim mafia-summit ambience. But the scene at the Full Course Meal release too was strong. Local rapper and KUMS.fm host Bloe was onstage shooting off to a remix of the Notorious B.I.G.’s “Juicy,” rapping under a dim red light, flanked by the likes of Jae Synth and the other man of the hour, Blee, who interjected and emceed the night, sporting white-rim glasses, a knit cap and a letterman’s jacket. The beats, by DJ Flow, were a bit wobblier and glossier than the sounds over at Cap Garage, but this disparity is the only difference between the two scenes: Distillery a bit more cocktail, Garage more conscious. No feud. No beef. Would’ve been sick to bring both shows under one roof, yeah? (Nick Miller)
