Red Bull Big Tune Finals Update

Here's a bootleggy video of a few of the performers. Maybe it's just me but it seemed like the 300 - 400 people crowded in the Seattle gig were MUCH louder than this new york crowd but that's just me.



In order of appearance:

-EQ (Houston)

-C-Sick (Chicago) **WINNER**

-Rob Bates (Chicago)

-Illmind (New Jersey / Philadelphia)

-14KT (Detroit)

-Mr. Dibia$e (Los Angeles)

-Algorythm (Washington, D.C.)

-Rising Son (Seattle)

-Brainstorm (Seattle)

-Malek aka Hitmaker (Oakland)

-Marc Garvey (Oakland)

-Ritz (Philadelphia)

-myself, J. Bizness (The 909 / Los Angeles)

-The Best Kept Secret (Washington, D.C.)

-Frank Dukes (Toronto / Detroit)

-Sound MOB (Houston)

Anyway, on some east vs west bullshit, they picked off all the west coasters first. Maybe I'm making more out of it than it really is, and it could just be the sound differences of the coasts. but whatever.


Brainstorm has a blog up on his myspace
about the day to day antics that happened. Apparently he got rushed into picking a beat and he used one he didn't want to use at the time or something. Which, if it were me, I'd have like a top 2 or 3 that I was thinking about for the 8 weeks inbetween comps, lol, but it's all gravy.

Look out for the competition to be broadcasted on BET in Feb 09.

I Don't Think You Understand The Severity of the Situation



Last night The bomb squad hit up the Red Bull Big Tune Film Screening event and concert. Brainstorm (of Dyme Def) showed the short film of his victory last year in which he got to record and feature on a track with Young Buck. If you don't know what I'm talking about:

Big Tune is the passionate vision and venture of DJ/producer/emcee-Vitamin D and Hip Hop visionary/event producer - Jonathan Moore, which began in 2004 with the purpose of bringing emerging and established talent to the forefront. After three years of hosting thriving local battles in Seattle, they forged a creative partnership with Red Bull. The event evolved beyond a beat battle into what it is today... a dynamic national producer program.

Basically Local Producers battle it out and the top 2 from every city fly to the finals in the NYC. Last Year like I said above Brainstorm won and kicked it with Young Buck. This year Friday is the main event but all throughout they're having little events to show you about the process.

Anyway, the film we watched last night was hilarious and about 10 minutes long. I hate to post like 30 youtube videos at a time, but that's all they have at the moment, so I'm gonna embed one and give you a link to each of the others.
