Last Sunday, I was on duty in my event organizer's event, Block Battles IV. I've mentioned before how it's filled with live performances, instead of a club party. This month we had 30 performers, imagine the craziness. I was in charge fully with the artists and the rundown, happy but super exhausted. But this post isn't about that.
Block Battles talents + crowds = Awesome!
Trash talking in Indonesian Hip-Hop scene is nothing new, I've been victimized by several. But last night was a big hip-hop event with many radio announcers, fellow rappers, music writers and bloggers in the crowd too. There's no way this incident wouldn't reach the well-known-rapper 's ears.
Scandalous.
I tried not to get involved but I couldn't help feeling curious. I wonder what made someone can be severely ridiculed with cameras rolling around.
Apparently the rap group was performing in a certain local TV station live the other day and instead of minding his own business, the well-known-rapper was tweeting about how bad it is. How they're such a shame to the whole hip-hop industry and such. So the group felt disrespected, embarrassed. Many people obviously read the tweet, hence they retaliated. They said they'd continue too, in every future performance. And man, these guys perform a lot. I hope it's not a start of a long term beef.
All I can say about this is...be careful when you tweet. Regular person can get in trouble for tweeting, imagine some sort of a public figure. The more 'famous' you are, shouldn't you be more aware? Such thing better said behind closed doors. Or at least, off line.
Ironically funny fact in the music industry and life in general :
"When people do bad or fail something, others diss them. But when they do good / succeed, the dissing still won't go away."
Block Battles talents + crowds = Awesome! In one of the sets, there's a rap group consisted of some of the craziest rappers I like surprising everyone by openly trash talking / dissing another pretty well known rapper in the country. They even went as far as challenging this guy, who's not there but some of his entourage was there. A couple of funny punchlines paired with curses were thrown, a lot of people were shocked and giggled.

That was kind of sad. I think I should stop bashing Justin Bieber. You know, in case I get famous. Haha! ;)
And I your quote at the end. So true.
