Let me say i expected soooo much more. Kid Capri did OK! Im from NYC and KNOW how he cN rock out a show but forsome reason i wasnt feeling the whole show. Biz was so wack didnt do anything spectacular.. By the timeDougie came on i was so tiredfrom standing i had to go outside theballroom to sit downandmissed his whole show which my friends said wasnt all that. Many people leaving were VERYdisappointed
This was supposed to be a party. Instead it was 3,000 plus people standing around looking at a stage with Kid Capri, Biz Markie, & Doug E. Fresh D.J.ing and scratching. The songs were switched every 30 seconds so there was very little dancing. The line for a drink was about 30 to 45 minutes. People danced in their spot in 30 second spurts. Too much light, not a party environment. Not fun!
THE SHOW WAS PROPER..KID CAPRI DID THE DAM THING...DOEG E ALWAYS SEXY...BUT UM..I WAS'NT TO HAPPY WITH BIZ HE USUALLY GIVES A BETTER SHOW BUT OVER ALL IT WAS A GOOD LOOK...
This event was not good. First, with no seating and having to stand was no good for the feet. I sat on the floor along with others. Kid Capri was good but stayed on the stage too long. Biz Markie should have never shown up, he was terrible and didn't engage the audience at all. Doug E. Fresh was horrible also. I chose to go this event because it contributed to the HBCU school and it was a waste of money, and I will never go to a Sponsored CIAA show again. I will just party with others in the city.
The Show was great!! Doug E Fresh is a wonderful performer. He did his thang on the mic . I always enjoy Kid Capri, so I knew he was coming ready. Biz Markie didn't disappoint either. I had never been to a Biz show, so I really wanted to hear him play....well he fit right in. I would definitely go see them again if they are together or alone. Well worth the price.
I went to see Dougie last year for CIAA at the Blake Hotel. That party was one of the best parties ever! Biz Markie killed it and Dougie had the most amazing performance. That made me HAVE to see Dougie again. This year, it was at the convention center. I did not like how everything was so spread out. You had to go to one side of the convention center to pick up your tickets, walk up the stairs to get your wrist band, then walk back accross the breezeway and go down more steps to get to the party. That was waaaay too much. Then they had it way too bright in there. People like it semi dark in a "club/concert" environment. Dougie asked for the house lights to be brought down, they never accomidated him. You have to understand, performers have certain things they like and need to get in their element. I don't think his performance was the best. But I still love him. He really tried to make the crowd happy, but the venue wasn't having it...The vibe in the city for CIAA just wasn't the same this year.
My friend and I took our teen children to see this show in 2008, to show them real hip hop! It started out great and the kids loved it, but my friend and I were disappointed. MC Lyte didn't preform Lyte as a Rock", instead she started singing Candy Shop by 50 cent! So not cool, if I wanted to hear that I could have stayed home. But she wasn't the worst, Slick Rick took all day to come out and did not preform half his songs. There was no Mona Lisa, Teenage Love, Lottie Dottie, or Choildren's Stories. Grant it, they had a small crowd, but whether you have 10 or 10,000 fans as an artist I expected more from the old school artist. Now they are coming again in April, this time with Salt & Pepa. I truly hope this show is better.
hi. went to to the rap show at paradise theater and loved it. all of the acts were great, and doug e fresh was well worth the wait. really enjoyed the whole show. i have one message for the paradise theater' you have to make the people up front stay in their seats" i had seats in the vip area 7th row and i had to stand up for the whole show because the rows in front of me would not sit down. you really need to regulate that.
All I have to say is "My mic sound nice check one!!!" Chuck rock killed it and positive K.
YO, THE SHOW WAS CRAZY!!! BIZ DID WHAT HE DO AND BIG DADDY TURNED IT OUT!!! SLICK RICK N DOUGIE WAS GOOD 2 ,BUT DOUGIE OVER DID IT WIT THAT BEAT BOX SH#T!! 10 MINS STR8!!!! COME ON,2 MUCH...CHUB ROCK ROCKED IT WITH OLD SCHOOL MUSIC FROM THE LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S!!EPMD WAS WACK!! I WAS A BIG EPMD FAN BACK N DA DAY,BUT THEY WAS W.A.C.K...PEOPLE START LEAVING WHEN THEY CAME ON...THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN 1ST INSTEAD OF LAST...GREAT SHOW ALLN ALL...4 THE GROWN PEOPLES!!!
This concert was great! I had a great time! The performers still looked the same and they rocked the show! I love it!
The show was great. The only negative was that Doug E. Fresh was about 45 minutes late. The performers were great. It made me realize how great hip-hop use to be. There needs to be more shows like this one.
The concert was good but I did not like the rushsing of the acts to only wait for the main event that was late. Big Daddy Kane did his thing. They could have brung him back out or Chubb Rock. They made me hype.
It was awesome. Roxanne Shante, Grand Puba, Big Daddy Kane, Force Mds, Positive K, MC Shan,Peter Gunz & Lord Tariq, Melissia Morgan, Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick was awesome. Then they had Thelma from Good Times and Roger from Whats Happening hosting the show and DJ Marly Marl was in the building,
Great experience seeing the old skool rappers dougie fresh and big daddy kane were on top form! So much energy! The only negative was dougie arrived late there was a long 40 min break with no music! When it was only meant to be 10 min! But the venue was a beautiful and the sound system left my ears ringing!
Fantastic show! Only 1 issue was the too long intermission, which could have allowed the prior acts to do longer sets. Other than that, Positive K, got the show going all the way on! Roxanne Shante is still fire! Go head, Doc! Dougie & Slick Rick are the pioneers who need to KEEP ON TOURING! Fantastic seeing MC Shan still doing it, Big Daddy Kane, all praisaes due! Chubb Rock, awesome. Super blast from Greg Nice. Peter Gunz!!! OMG - Melissa Morgan was MAGNIFICENT! The Force MD's beautiful! It was a true night to remember! No fighting or anything negative! It was all LOVE!!!! Crazy Legs - Still got it! Scoob & Scrap, Yessss!
What an amazing night. I took my honey to see "The Show" and we were both in our element. The seats and the price were just right. I would definitely pay that much to be that close in the same venue to see that type of line up again. Everything about it was nostalgic and it took me back emontionally to a time in my life that was just plain fun. I so miss the old days and the music that came with it. I look forward to the next concert of the same quality.
The Fresh Fest show n DC was awesome. As always Dougie Fresh w/Slick Rick did an excellent performance. I enjoy his beatbox.
I wish I could see it again. I have been to a lot of concerts and this one was the best.
I thought everything was great! Everyone around me or that said they went enjoyed it saying it was awesome! MC Lyte's performance was the best of them all she brought the house down! Even though some didn't know the lyrics to her songs! (LOL!) Truth be told, i didn't either.
