prefuse 73 rollcall

can't find the old thread, but this should be a great show … cernoch, will you have any of those posters for sale at the club?

I'll be there, posters will be on sale at the merch booth. Don't know how much they are going to be yet, I'm going to have to talk to Scott about that. No more than $20. They are big and nice.

might be there.

should be a better show than the blackcat since hell be with a mc…

really want to see local hero do his thing

do people think a lot this place will get filled? The three times I have seen him at the blackcat, pre owe, and after owe, and once after sbs the club was not packed, in fact it was pretty dead… i was pretty shocked to see them play 930 with the edan… but more power to them if they pack the house, hope they do…

That was my concern as well, I love Prefuse, I would love to see that place packed. I hope people show up. RJD2 sold out the 9:30 Club, I really thought no one was going to go, so who knows. The Edan write up in the City Paper may help too. I gave 9:30 about 20 posters to put up around town to promote this show. Also, I did a bunch of handbills that I passed out around DC and VA. I would really like to see a good crowd.

RJD2's buzz/rep is unreal (almost on an overrated level – he's good, but pretty overrated IMO) — so between that and 9:30's sellout rate (still amazes me to this day), i wasn't really surprised about that one selling out.

i'm wondering too about the size of the crowd for this show, b/c i also went to the Black Cat show and also thought that it wasn't really filled or live for that matter. that's why i'm planning to get my ticket at the door.

Edan is pretty dope. i've been looking forward to seeing him live for years now and heard that he's pretty dope live. all and all — prefuse is going to get busy regardless — i just hope that his setlist will be better than the Black Cat show's one.

that's what i was thinking … he's really made inroads into mainstream audiences, much more so than similar artists who (i think) are more accessible than he is … i like prefuse (especially his first two albums) a lot more than RJD2, for whatever that's worth

yea the 1st time i saw prefuse it was pretty dope, and the 2nd time was okay, but the most recent time it wasnt the same. less people in the club, and just seemed liked he was djing a small party… no hype. love his albums, and im sure he will rock it tonight with a mc. i am going to try and make it, i remember edan use to do shows in dc back back in the day on some real underground rap shit…those were the days. i was shocked when rj sold out, but still i liked the blackcat show better. im going to see rj and print in bmore on sat, and i heard that they are unstoppable together live…

I was kinda let down that the Soul Position Tour didn't stop through DC.

make the trip up…its not too far a drive.

but i feel yea, i dont understand why b'more is getting all the love recently. maybe lower rent for shows?

but it seems all the ug indie hip hop acts are stopping in b'more and forgetting about dc.

thankfully, ace and ud and the coup are stopping by to the blackacat.

this album is nasty, i'd check it out if they were at black cat or something, not worth the drive otherwise

and i'm really digging it this time around, i think reviews of it when it came out were a little overly harsh

you didnt like their new one? it was very solid.

also i heard that their live show is great… not your typical dj in the back mc rocking the mic type sh*t.

i just have that album and his first two as prefuse (vocal studies / one word extinguisher), none of the side projects … any of them essential?

not sure havent had time to check it out. i have been listening to the dilla cd for a while. i cant get into his spanish stuff, but i hear that piano overload, or overboard is nice.

his Piano Overload stuff is pretty cool. though inconsistent overall – it's more experimental and moody than the usual Prefuse73 stuff (along the lines of Savath and Savalas – also dope)

i'm still debating on going to see Soul Position – namely b/c i want to see Blueprint live but you never know what to expect soundwise at Sonar. their two albums are alright, but it seems like they should be almost on another level — especially since their solo/side stuff are pretty heavy (Blueprint moreso IMO, once again – RJ is good, but nowhere as good as he's getting credit for IMO).

i'd imagine that they'd kill live though b/c Blueprint has that type of live energy it seems.

that's the only soul position record i have … i'm really not that into the hip-hop scene, just have a few albums here and there

Here is a great live mix by prefuse 73 done back in 2003. It features a lot of stuff from his first 3 albums.
