I bet that J-LIm was dope! If she ever comes to Philly, I'm gonna go see her!
Not too excited about Nas as a live performer tho... Saw him on an awards show back in 2002 doin' "One Mic" and was disappointed 'cause it sounded like he was outta breath most the time. Then again, the delivery required for that song is unusual (start the verse off at a whisper and yell the words when it's almost done). He's prolly much better overall when performing other songs.
On another note... Did you edit some of those videos? Or were you running low on memory and had to pick and choose what you wanted to record?
-JLIM WAS A-EFFING-AMAZING!! So yes, if she ever comes to Philly, you should def. go check her out.
-Nas didn't perform, however they did show his Sly Fox PV (directed by Rik Cordero, and starring Miss Info)
-And, no, I was low on memory so I couldn't get any really good parts. It just served to remind me that I need to stop being CHEAP and get a camcorder ><
Bet you'll never make that mistake again! It's a shame that we learn these things after the fact. By then, the moment has already passed and you wanna hit yourself in the head and say, "Why didn't I?... " But, hey, until you get things straight, you gotta do what you gotta do...
