we hit the road and got onto the most expensive road ever! Almost a hundred and fifty bucks to travel bout 3ookm's. Talk about being raped outta your cash! Sonzabitches!
Since it was a long road and it would take us a while, we had to make sure we had the neccessary itenerary.
1. Vodka? Check! (Dont worry, the driver was not drinking!)
2. Snacks and shit? Check!
3. Other's will not be mentioned out of fear of being accused of illegal substance abuse. Hehehe...
It's got my stamp of approval!
We rocked up at the hotel and decided to take a stroll cause there was some time to kill. The spot we were at was quite a neat complexy kinda thing full with casino and shit. We walked around and realised that there's really nothing much to do at casino's unless you're loaded with cash or booze. We were neither. So we decided to see who could do the best impression of a Pace/Drum Magazine picture pose:
Pose #1 (The strike a pose with the statue next to you pose)
Pose #2 (The double leg-crossover pose)
Pose #3 (The Grab onto a leaf pose)
(I'd say #1 is a taker. Would you like some wine with that cheese?)
Anyway the show was about to start...
...and Holy Bejesus! It was packed!
DJ's doing what Dj's do.
The thing that people have mis-interpreted about backstages are that they are always rock'n roll and there's all this action and shit. Well if this is anything to go by then I'm not impressed.
Oh I actually forgot to mention that were at a Beauty Contest for the Universtity. I think its was Miss Fresher or some shit. These are some of the chicks. Mingaville? You be the judge.
Spyzini doing what's requireed of the kwaito guy.
This is the chick who actually won. I dont rate.
Backstage. Whoo-Hoo! (yeah right!)
So we got on and I did my hype-man thing and yeah they were eating it up. Noice! Sure the picture is blurry but I mean come on, I was getting down on stage and jiyva-ring. But you get the jist of what's goin on right?
The most fucked up thing about these shows is how the guys(and never the girls) who constantly harass you after each and every fucken show...
...like the two fuck-tards here. And all you can do is...
...take it as it is. We do get paid for this shit afterall. But still, unimpressed
Well at least there was a little bit of love from the ladies.
We got utterly butterly off the free liquor and eventually got back to the hotel at bout 4 inna morning. As you can imagine I was too twisted to even attempt taking more shots. Headed back to Jozi the next day to pay another R100 bucks for being on the road. Sumamabitch!

Hey Suave, you funny man… Having gone to a university in the middle of no- flippen-where, I can relate to the madness of these such road trips…
Always crazy, always end up spending more $ flow than expected, getting more shmangled than you intended… great fun hey… and those damn toll gates, they kill you…
What exactly do you do at these shows?
Dude, I fuckin hate toll roads!!
Buzz > The great thing is that we actually didnt even spend that much dough cause we were invited. Except for the fucking toll gates!Free booze, accomodation etc. I do a bit of a hype-man thing. If you dont know what that is it's basically getting a crowd excited before the main act. Its an on the side kinda thing.
Revolving > Preach brother!!!
Interesting, dats pretty damn cool... and u get paid 4 it. So what exactly do you do to get the crowed excited? Or is that to be kept on the DL?
Yeah, gotta love that free booze, accommodation etc. makes the tollgate rape all that much bearable hey:)
You know its really not that hard. I dont know if you've ever been to a black event with liqoured up students before but it goes something like this:
Me: Are you there!
Them: YEAAAAHHH!!!
Me: Are you ready to get down?
Them: YEAAAAHHH!!!
Me: Ladies let me hear you scream
Them: YEAAAAHHH!!!
Me: Bafowethu shay ma'flayti. Tsovitso!(Basically, fella's lets hear you whistle.)
Them: ***Loud Whistles***
This continues for a while whilst I get the DJ to play some music to get the pace up. Then get your artist on and finish his sentences. Obviously the more people the better.
Oh i see, yeah i have been to some of those events... they crazy.
So you 'that' dude, right... like the host... So you don’t crack any jokes, strip, nothing crazy?
Suppose with time you can get real creative with that...
Do you do any gigs in Jo?
On occasion we would do the
odd gig here and there around Jozi but generally it's places outside of Gauteng.
Every now and then it gets kinda hectic like the time I got them so hype people started throwing bottles in the air and they'd land on peoples heads. And they push so much that the stage almost fell. That was some scary shit!
