Yo, last weekend was wild. Picture this: a remote spot in Berkeley, tucked away from all the noise. I roll up, ready to set it off, and the vibe? It’s different. This family hit me with a playlist that almost brought a tear to my eye—classic hip-hop and funk, the type of joints that make your soul do somersaults. We talkin’ golden era, James Brown, Tribe, George Clinton, Grandmaster Flash...you know, that real sound.
Now, let me tell you, it’s rare when a family pulls up with a lineup like this. Usually, I’m dodging requests for the top 40, you feel me? But nah, they wanted the classics. That was love, and I respected that. The speakers came alive, and I thought the whole place was about to be groovin’ like it’s ‘88.
But, bruh, let me keep it a buck—when the crowd hit the floor, it was tough. The music was fire, but the dance moves? Mad rigid. Like, imagine someone tryna two-step in slow motion, but the beat is runnin' 100 miles an hour. Awkward arms flailing, stiff shoulders, no rhythm. I'm over here spinning funk records, and they look like they’re battling invisible mannequins. I was waitin' for someone to bust out a headspin or even a lil' shuffle, but nah—it was like their bodies ain't get the memo.
But hey, it ain’t about perfection. It’s about feelin’ the music, right? And even though the moves weren’t there, the energy was cool. Sometimes, it’s not about being a dance floor assassin, but just lettin’ loose and enjoyin’ the vibes. So shoutout to them for bringing the real music.
Catch me in the mix next time, making sure y’all don’t look like a broken action figure when the beat drops. Stay funky, stay fresh.
Peace.
