Tech N9ne’s Independent Grind Trip stopped off at Pops in St. Louis Missouri on Sunday October 17th. The tour consisted of a variety of hip/hop as well as rap artists that made sure to satisfy any type of as well as all that appreciate the style. Opening acts Kold Kase, P.R.E.A.C.H., Glasses Malone, Jay Rock, and also E-40 began the show as the die hard followers awaited the artists of Unusual Songs, Tech N9ne’s document tag. These include Big Scoob, Kutt Calhoun, Krizz Kaliko, and also certainly, Tech N9ne.
The party started in the car park of Pops as everyone waited eligible the doors to open up. I indicate celebration when I state party too. A variety of liquor and also beer was being circulated, along with the occasional joint. The crowd, consisting of a range of different societies, all waited patiently with each other drinking and also cigarette smoking as they conversed till the doors opened as well as the party was relocated within.
Kold Kase, a neighborhood St. Louis rap duo, opened the show with what I thought was a remarkable performance, particularly given that I had actually never ever come across them till this point. An additional St. Louis rapper, P.R.E.A.C.H., took the phase after Kold Kase, and place on a pretty good a show. I had seen P.R.E.A.C.H. all over Myspace throughout the last two years, and was enjoyed actually get to see and hear what he was all about. Kold Kase as well as P.R.E.A.C.H. both had an excellent stage visibility. All eyes and also ears were on them as they eliminated the mic with initial songs and that quick Midwest rap design that every Tech N9ne follower recognizes and loves.
Taking the stage next came West Coast rappers Glasses Malone, Jay Rock, and afterwards E-40. Each artist did a set of their very own tracks, and also some cover tracks from artists like T-pain and also Lil Wayne. In my opinion this is where the entertainment level began to slide a notch or more. I was there for the below ground noise. Glasses Malone as well as E-40 had a couple group movers, however really did not appear to contrast to the initial 2 opening acts. Jay Rock, that is the most recent signed musician on Strange Songs, placed on a program simliar to that of Malone and also E-40 ′ s, however also getting on Tech’s tag had not been sufficient to put him on the very same level as Kold Kase or P.R.E.A.C.H
. After two hours of back to back efficiencies, the floor was sticky with beer, and the air abounded the odor of high quality hydroponics. Everyone pushed toward the front, waiting for Tech N9ne and the rest of the Unusual Songs staff to take the stage. Tech N9ne, Krizz Kaliko, Kutt Calhoun, and also Big Scoob all came out at the very same time. The group went wild as the four rappers did tune after tune of cooperations from each other’s albums, including hit jams like Loafer, Imma Inform, City 2 City, Midwest Teeth and Strange Music Box. With Scoob, Kaliko, Kutt, and Tech all locally out of Kansas City Missouri, the crowd was more like one large family members than a group of fans. Everyone in the building knew every word to all the tunes and also sang along with them all. There were lots of tittiess to take pleasure in as well. Females were flashing the phase as Tech carried out the track Areola.
