Toch blijven de deelnemende artiesten een bonte gezelschap afkomstig
vanuit het gehele land en zelfs van over de hele wereld. Na een
stoere rapper uit de polder komt SpaceKees zich doodleuk even introduceren voordat hij zijn rijms dropt:
“Hallo, ik ben Kees!” |

Big Daddy Kane
Strutting onto the stage, clad in a leather overall came the Kane. He's still the Big Daddy, one can tell only by looking at his face. Ice cold no emotion, only his eyes show a trace of fun; something he evidently still has doing shows like this. |

Underground Railroad - Aktie Winston Kingdom and Musicfrom.nl
Zoals bekend kan de Artiestenregeling 2001 de doodsteek betekenen
voor het Nederlandse clubcircuit. Poppodia, bands en artiesten
worden geconfronteerd met hogere kosten waardoor het bijna onmogelijk
wordt het hoofd boven water te houden. Ook het publiek wordt het
moeilijk gemaakt om voor een redelijke prijs een leuk optreden
te bezoeken. |

After three weeks at last a report about the Turntablized Final '99 and Rahzel concert from past century, kinda late ain’t it? Well yes. At the final something strange happened. Rahzel was sick as hell but still dropped a show we still can’t believe. |

Red Dough by Made In Da Shade, Theater Brakke Grond, Amsterdam, 13-11-1999
"Zal ik je naaien?", "Ja!" ("Shall I screw you ? Yes!") Is the last line of the play. To some just an ordinary wack line to end the play. For me, that line covers the whole load and is also the start of the whole story. And it has more dimensions than displayed in this play. |

Eminem, 1999-11-12, The Melkweg Amsterdam
Support act: High and Mighty Eminem: "What you have here, Amsterdam, we don’t have. Here you can buy a joint in the shop and get a light from a cop. Being here as American is as being a kid in… So, please don’t mind if we are behaving like kids." |

E-Life release party
Still it was remarkable that E-Life and all the acts were not getting that much love as you should think they would get. With the Postmen CD release party it was the same people told us. Although all the reasons were there, it was not sold out. We could not conclude why. Can somebody tell us why? |

Theater Cosmic –Bijlmer Soul 2000
The youngster hanging down at the stoop of our apartment building, on the street corners of Amsterdam Southeast, have a story to tell. Does anybody have a listening ear? The lyrics and moves directly inspired by their lifes, their reality, they hit you as a blast straight in your face and grab you down in the heart. This is how you spell Southeast: snorders, junkies, fatoes and tories. |

Samplism 2
