It was all a dream. . .
What’s up everyone, its K-Dot!! While the HHK staff was busy putting the finishing touches on the 1st Annual Hip Hop Karaoke Championship (Get your tickets now!!!), I snuck in the back door, and decided to post a blog of my own!
When I take the stage at an HHK event. . . it allows me to fulfill a dream. For 4 ½ minutes, I get to become a rap star. . . become that hip-hop legend I dreamed about. I get to step into the shoes of some of the greatest MCs to ever bless a mic, and for that short period of time. . . I am that person. I know there are other HHKers out there who feel the same way. You can hear it in their voice, you can see it in their performances. . . they take the stage with a passion like no other. Some of us had long forgotten dreams of being rap artists. . . and Hip Hop Karaoke allows us to relive that dream.
But what if that dream was a reality? Who would you work with? Who would you want to take stage with? Would you collaborate with anyone in particular? What would your dream show, or recording session be like?
Growing up, I was a huge Pete Rock & C.L. Smooth fan. Anytime I thought about becoming an artist. . . the idea of performing on a Pete Rock track was the pinnacle. I could just picture myself riding the beat, and hearing Pete’s adlibs throughout the track. Nowadays I am into the live band sound. I’m big into The Roots. The energy that the band brings to a stage show is awesome. I’ve recently had the privilege of performing with a live band, and its pretty unreal.
So if I were putting together my dream show. . . I’d start with the two founding members of The Roots, ?uestlove on drums, and Black Thought (doin’ his best Diggedy impression as hype-man!) Now that Hub is gone. . . I’d have Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers on bass, and then I’d get Vernon Reid from Living Colour on guitar. And for the final touch. . . on keys and supplying vocals. . . the one and only Stevie Wonder. I think we could rock a crowd.
So. . . what about you?
(Oh yeah. . . and when the cd drops. . . you know R. Kelly’s gonna do a remix!)

i leave the details to those who care to imagine.
Damn. . . is there a stage that can contain that much energy!?!?!?
I love this.
• Will Calhoun (Living Colour) on drums.
• Les Claypool (Primus) on bass, with tape over his mouth so he can't contribute vocals.
• Mike Patton (Faith No More, Mr. Bungle, Tomahawk, Fantômas, Peeping Tom) on backing vocals, sound effects, and hysteria.
• Kim Thayil (Soundgarden) on rhythm guitar soup, since K-Dot already took my man Vernon.
• RZA on the sampler.
• My man SoCalled from Montreal on the klezmer accordion.
• Thelonious Monk and Oscar Peterson (RIP) trading off on the keys.
• Tom Waits on the industrial tire chain, howls, and grunts.
• Ani Difranco on the acoustic guitar (for the introspective numbers).
• Bob Dylan on harmonica.
• Guest guitar solos from Walter Becker (Steely Dan), Marty Friedman (Megadeth), Greg Allman, Bruce Cockburn, and me.
• Guest verses from U-God, Inspectah Deck, J-Treds, Plug Won, and the Gift of Gab.
• I would rap, sing, talk about politics, read recipes from cookbooks, and solve audience members' problems live on stage.
oh shit -- and Joni Mitchell would open for us, when she was like, 30.
For me it'd have to be a Dilla or Kanye beat. ooooooh or a Dilla influenced Kanye beat. I'd have to rhyme with Kweli and Redman. But Diggs will atest to my love for Kweli and anyone who knows me, knows that Redman wins my 6th man award.
The show would have to be someplace intimate. I wanna feel the crowd and it'd have to be out doors. Maybe Summerstage or City Hall Park.
On stage we'd have to back by the Roots (Circa 2000) with Jaguar Wright, Erykah and Jill Scott singing back up and hooks.
And there'd be suprise guests including R. Kelly (circa TP-2), ATCQ and Wyclef.
Can it be true? Leonard Hubbard's no longer on the bass? Essaywhuman?
Streets is talking. I am hearing rumors that K-Dot will perform all of his songs at the HHK Championship in full Jango Fett attire. WITH the fully functional jetpack. Everyone is FUCKED.
Dammit Dee. . . now I need to come up with a new game plan!!!!! I guess the Jedi robes need to get taken to the dry cleaner. . .
And yes RDJ, the great bassman Leonard Hubbard is no longer with The Roots. His final show was in August. You can see the toast on stage here:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=NSYHuRIMyy8
I used to love his solos. . . chewstick, sleeveless tee. . . he was definitely an original.
Yo! RDJ. . . who do ya have on washboard? That's a friggin' supergroup and a half!!!
I can play a mean set of spoons if you need me. Holla!
On washboard and banjo: Pete Seeger
I already saw my dream show :
Organize Konfusion, The Artifacts, Common Sense, and The Beatnuts.
1994.
The Limelight.
$12
Best.
Show.
Ever.
Now, as for recording session, I'll tell the world the instructions I gave DJ Wex upon my death :
Take whatever you need to from my savings account, take whatever acapella vocals of mine you feel appropriate from the Josh Diggedy catalogue, and pay Prince Paul for a beat.
Paul won't work with me while I'm alive.
So I'll just have to hope my death will make him change his mind.
Fingers crossed.
"I already saw my dream show :
Organize Konfusion, The Artifacts, Common Sense, and The Beatnuts.
1994."
I hate you.
Not really, but man am I seething with jealous rage!
: )
It was wild.
Plus, all of them were coming off of their best albums.
I still have the ticket stub on the wall of my room in my parent's house.
My mom cut out a review of the show in Newsday when it ran.
"Wasn't this the show you went to? It got a wonderful write up."
Mom will bring their Jan 25th.
People better bring their A games.
She hates that weak sh*t.
Yeah, you caught them all at the absolute best time, and considering The Beatnuts and Common (I hate to say it) have been falling off as of late, and OK and Artifacts are no more, that's really lucky.
