Below is a link to my re-cap for the Be The Riottt! festival I did for Spin.com

Be the Riottt! Storms Thru SF

Here's my re-cap before being sent off to be professionalized

"We The Riottt!

San Francisco, CA

Rug cutting hip kids to (B)ape draped skate pimps all took shelter from the frustrating Bay Area rain clouds to take in the hot beats and guitars licks of Be The Riottt!, a convergence of b-boy fresh-to-def and dance floor skinny jean flare in the form of a 12 hour indoor minor league Coachella. Nomad jam punks, The RX Bandits, cranked up the energy generators early on during their afternoon set and setting the tone for a very corporate sparse music festival by denouncing the huge Scion projections above the stage. Texas based Friday Night Lights mute behemoths, Explosions in the Sky, brought tears to cheeks of a fair amount of sweater fitted kids with their emotional and thrash ready main stage evening set. The Rapture and Australian based The Presets created the biggest dance driven riots of the night as their electric boogie rhythms brought every toe tapper to the floor and provided fear on the face of stage security as hair whipping Frisco Disco/Pop*Scene alumni tested the strength of the front row barricades. The largest anomaly of the night took place when jabber mouth MC, Bus Driver, came on stage to collaborate with the only indie band known to have a female lead that looks strikingly similar to your good asian friend's mother, Deerhoof, in a rare moment of Spin type artist overlap. With the whirlwind of buzz bands and hip hop heavyweights filling the festival, the surprising highlight came from Greg Gillis aka Pittsburgh mash-up maestro Girl Talk as he failed to crowd surf, drenched the front stage in confetti, and surrounded himself with a quarter of the audience dancing around him and his laptop in his time allotted mainstage set. Local hip hop heroes, Zion-I and the Living Legends, provided energetic performances that instilled the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium with enough hip hop cred to get even the petite short haired fashion school blondies to wave their arms to the rhythm. Politically fueled, produce hurling MC, Sage Francis, definitely proved his weight in intensity demolishing his hour set with b-boy antics and the most punctual to your conscience lyrical delivery on the mainstage. Closing out the hip hop stage, Pharrell repped lyrically skewed duo, Clipse, brought the slump hard enough to give reasoning on why all those hip hop bloggers heads' are exploding in anticipation for their much delayed sophomore album. As the night came to an end, and the zip hoodie uniformed crowd made their way out, a Be The Riottt! job mission complete came in the form of a daunted Steve Aoki Budweiser in one hand, glorious blonde in the other, waving good night from outside the VIP."

Look for this child in the following 4 videos.

Cowabunga: The MTv news article

Did anyone else ever notice the large tuft of flesh colored arm pit hair from the original Casey Jones action figure?

MTv News is journalistic crack.

Hey John Norris, stop dressing like you're a senior in high school.

Tyrese and the kid from Even Stevens?

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

When did everything crucial from my childhood decide to sell out and handicap anything from becoming sacred for my generation?

I can't lie. I'm pretty silly juiced for this one though.

All I'm asking for is a Neptunes remix of the Ninja Rap. Maybe Mike Jones for historical significance.

Vanilla Ice- Ninja Rap

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Last time I checked, I don't remember the Transformers being Martians.

They Better not sleep on getting some band to do a cover and tribute video of this for the soundtrack.

Can we at least get a DFA remix of the 1986 Stan Bush classic?

I bet Mr. Met wish he knew how to Harlem Shake now.

Federation- 18 Dummy

Federation/E-40- I Wear My Stunna Glasses At Night

Federation are the cornerstone of all that is Hyphy.

Surroundings familiar? Possibly because this

was filmed in the same place.

The Pack/Too $hort/Mistah F.A.B.- Vans (remix)

The Pack/Mistah F.A.B.- Yes Sir

The Vans epidemics has spread from the Yay and hit breakout proportions as The Pack's simple snap single has started to recieve national airplay and even caught the attention of big baller blog Stereogum.

I'm just glad I bought my first two pairs of slip ons before the song came out.

...I can't vouch for my next pair though.

Keak Da Sneak/Johnny Ca$h/Mistah F.A.B./G-Stack/PSD/Dubee/Rydah J. Klyde/Bavgate- Super Hyphie (Thizz remix)

Keak Da Sneak- Beat It!

Keak Da Sneak manages to make silly gouda and keep it real on the most poodle show ever.

I remember a bulletin he posted on myspace about how he had a cold but reassured his fans he was still smoking blunts while demolishing some chicken soup.

Respect.

Mistah F.A.B.- Ghost Ride It

The DB'z/E-40- Stewie

Even the kid you cheated off in math class goes dumb in the bay.

06 hyphy? Always Hyphy Status? Too bad the term hyphy started recieving rotation in the hallways while these youngsters were still in 8th grade.

Stupid. Dumb. Retarded.

Pee Wee Herman

Here is a low quality version of his interview on Conan the other night until i can find a better one.

I hope you watched it all the way through so you didn't miss the return of the

TEQUILLA DANCE

Now that I think about it, Pee Wee's probably the reason i didn't start smoking rocks at an early age.
