Despite the snow, I hope some of y’all were able to make it out to the Souls of Mischief show last night. The turnout seemed to be a whole lot better than what I expected although this may be due more to an extra long guest list rather than actual paying customers. Weak. In any event, the crowd was pretty lively at times as the group went through their classics, some solo material and a dope track from their new album, which is executive produced by Prince Paul. Too bad it seemed like only five people knew who Paul was. Everyone else gets the gasface. On a semi-related note, if you haven’t picked up Opio’s new album “Vulture’s Wisdom,” do it now. I haven’t really heard a lot of new music to get excited about but this album is really great.
Videos coming soon. More pictures after the jump. Props to Peter Agoston for flying out the whole Souls of Mischief crew (all six of ‘em) to NYC for this one-time only show. And for turning down the blinding lights on stage.
didnt you get my christmas cookies? thanks for the posting the video, def appreciated...." on 
Only five people knew who Prince Paul was.
That’s A Fucking Shame. And These People Claim To be Hip Hop Lovers. Looked like most of the audience was white. That’s Not A Suprised To Me. Phony Fucks. Straight Posers.
You might judge their lack of hip hop knowledge due to the audience’s ages. Maybe they were to young to remember who Prince Paul was. I don’t know. but alot of white kids like to pose and front. They like to dress act and talk the part. They like to dress in hop hop clothing, but really don’t know shit about the culture.
I’ll leave it at that.
That new Souls Of Mischief single is ill.
Can’t wait for the album. Hopefully It’s What I’m expecting from them or better.
Alot people are sleeping on that “Vulture’s Wisdom” by Opio.
But I expected That.
That’s way Hip Hop is dying. It’s not like alot of Underground artist aren’t putting out dope shit.
It’s the so-call real Hip Hop heads and fans who are not supporting dope music when it comes out. That’s way Hip Hop is dying.
Maybe alot of commercial and mainstream rappers are putting out weak and wack shit.
But that’s not who I listen to anyway. Fuck them. I don’t care what they put out.
*Support Dope Hip Hop Music when it comes out.
i agree the lack of knowledge is a shame (i.e. prince paul) …its a shame that hip hop music cant keep the innovators of the culture in its collective consciousness like jazz music or blues,where artists are still relevant beyond the ten year mark. this seems to be what happens when your main aim is to commercialize ala’ ringtone,shoeline,nifty little buckdance that compliments your lack of content or risk. eventually you end up with a group of 16 year olds with their “slate wiped clean” every 10-15 years.but those are the folks that are being marketed to primarily..its unfortunate.
People didn’t know who Prince Paul was, thats like being into rock and not knowing Pink Floyd..anywho
Too bad I could not attend, I am in TO, and they are BS at the border…
As far as Opio, I know of “Vulture’s Wisdom” release, but I havent bothered to take it in, Now I am going to give it a try..thanks
