SUNDAY, AUGUST 21, 2011 LIVE AT THE CENTRAL PARK MAIN STAGE AT THE RUMSEY PLAYFIELD STARRING: RAKIM, EPMD, FUNKMASTER FLEX AND SURPRISE SPECIAL GUEST PERFORMERS
GATES OPEN 2PM, SHOWTIME 3PM
Back on my feet with only four hours and a half of sleep split in two. I took my first, three hours of sleep to prepare for my routine early morning weekend employment. Then, later after my shift I return home in hopes to gain at least another three hours of sleep but was only able to receive an hour and a half of sleep.

I''m like the United Postal Service, "Rain, Sleet, Snow or Lack of Sleep" you'll always find, Dj Handspin Dinero at an Hip Hop Event, somewhere in N. Y. C.
Today, I head to Central Park for the Central Park Main Stage at Rumsey Playfield.
Today, features Hip Hop Legends and Icons EPMD and The God, Rakim along with legendary Hot 97 dj icon, Funkmaster Flex.
The gates will open in 15 minutes at 2pm and I'm on the train heading to the place as I type.
The show is scheduled to go down at 3pm. I know, I will be there before 3pm but how much standing room will be available. I can predicate, "NO MORE STANDING ROOM AVAILABLE!!"
We'll see, when I arrive in the meantime. I would like to thank, Timbo King and Matt Wyatt of Nature Sounds Records for the listening party, last night at the Rocksmith store. I'm in the middle of listening to Timbo King's "From Babylon To Timbuktu" album. Which will be in stores on August 30th available on Nature Sounds Records. I figure, I get my writer's review on. Killing, two birds with one stone, DAM! I got a lot to write about bye the end of this weekend..
Arrived at Central Park making it in good time. I ran into an old homie of mine, Corporate. He was heading to this monumental occasion to witness, Strong Island's finest emcees.
Steppin' to the stage everyone give it up for Vj Ralph Mc Daniels, except me. This man, Ralph he must host every event. Well let's hope, he doesn't waste time with the yapping like he did at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival. Ralph introduces Funkmaster Flex, another person I'm not thrilled to see. Even though I have recorded live footage of Funkmaster Flex throughout the whole Salute To Hip Hop Series. I'm going to sit this one out and not record, Flex. However if anyone would like to see past video footage of Funkmaster Flex during this Summer's Salute To Hip Hop feel free to visit www.youtube.com/worldwidejabbz.
The crowd getting themselves worked up over Funkmaster Flex' s old skool cuts and mixes. So, worked up it got the crowd playin' beachball. A series of beachballs flying around the canvas. Heads are just tossing them back n forth, forth n back, side to side and all over the place.
Funkmaster Flex really bringin' out our hip hop spirit. Funkmaster Flex got heads sweatin' out their ass. He even got me sweatin' and I'm not doing anything but enjoying the vibes.
I'm almost ashamed for not recording this segment. Whatever, I'll get over it.
I feel like I'm back in Hudde JHS... Flex taking me back with my Junior High School favorites.... E.U. "Doin' The Butt", Public Enemy "Fight The Power", Big Daddy Kane "Raw", Big Daddy Kane "Warm It Up, Kane", Chubb Rock "Treat Em Right" Biz Markie "This Is Something For The Radio" and my personal favorite, Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam "I Wonder If I Take You Home" that was my joint. The only pop record and pop artist I ever loved.
As Flex, kept on with the old skool flava. The crowd began to break out the heavy artillery now.
I guess them lil' beach balls weren't as much fun. All of sudden here comes two super-sized versions for the crowd to play with. The beachballs were sponsored by Zip Car.
At times it seemed fun and odd to watch the crowd playing volleyball in Rumsey Playfield but it can get annoying. Especially if your a cameraman trying to record the show and a gigantic ball bounces off your camera distorting your focus. Which occurred several times throughout the day, thank you very much!
Funkmaster Flex, set is coming to an end. He was up there rocking for a full hour playing classic solid jams with history. Next on the scene, Dj Scratch I can't talk about him. Y' all know, Dj Scratch is nasty, he ain't the type of dj you talk about. Scratch the type of dj, you gotta see check 'em out at my channel... www.youtube.com/worldwidejabbz. (I apologize for the heavy movement of my camera during Dj Scratch's stage show performance. I hope you' ll still be able to enjoy the footage.)
This was the group I've been waitin' for all summer, Erick and Parrish. I finally had a chance to see, EPMD perform this summer. We all know what happened at the beginning of the summer at Betsey Head Park on June 7th I missed, EPMD then wasn't trying to miss them now. Although there been numerous times I've seen EPMD perform live but when your a hip hop lover, everytime you see an artist or group perform its like your first time all over again.
EPMD, "BACK IN SHOW BUSINESS!!!" Twenty-Two years in hip hop and they still can rock the house.
The rain came and almost blew us away thank, God for the people who came prepared. I guess, we can go back to what I mentioned earlier, nor rain, sleet, snow, or lack of sleep keep me away from an hip hop event. I think, our lord Jesus Christ just proved it to everyone.
The rain came down very heavy I face possible fear of electrocution and video damage. I had to shut down my camera until the rain stopped. I proceeded to watch the rest of EPMD's performance. I promise everyone I'll do a good job with the editing of the video specifically the rain area. Although it kind of looked cool in the rain. Especially with everyone in the crowd holding up there umbrellas. I was unfortunate I couldn't bring an umbrella. You know its kind of impossible to hold an umbrella in one hand and a camera in the other.
The moment we were waitin' for was next. The God, Rakim celebrating the 25th Anniversary to Eric B & Rakim "Paid N' Full". That's funny the last time I was in Central Park's Rumsey Field was when Vj Ralph Mc Daniels & The Vid Kid were celebrating their 25th Anniversary to Video Music Box.
Live on stage, Dj Technician & Rakim (NO ERIC B, "SORRY!") There were a lot of females in the audience that were upset that Eric B wasn't there. We already know, ladies don't keep up to date with the real hip hop because if they did they would know what happen between Eric B and Rakim. Besides I never knew ladies found, Eric B attractive. Oh it must be those several fly gold chains, he used to have wrapped around his neck, lol.
It started to rain again during, Rakim's performance but this time I was prepared. I apologize to my worldwidejabbz audience for stopping the production due to the weather conditions. Throughout the remainder of Rakim's performance I proceed to take photographs.
Even The God Rakim, himself cut his performance short due to the intense weather conditions.
Ending the afternoon with his classic material performed in acapella "Follow The Leader". Maybe, Dj Technician also had a fear of being electrocuted.
Despite extreme weather conditions coming down even harder toward the end of this evening's event. Rakim put on a great performance. A great way to celebrate his monumental 25th Anniversary release of "Paid In Full". Big surprise and a phat shout to Peter Gunz for coming through on stage to rock out with Rakim. Peace and Love to Cormega for coming through as well and rocking out on stage. The Bronx was in the house thanks to Dj Technician I never knew a person who loved and shouted out his borough as much as he did during Rakim's stage performance.
Today's event was something big, Central Park Summerstage Main stage. Between, Timbo King in my eardrum all day and the thought of seeing Rakim Allah on my mind. My day is all full of nothing but, "GAWD DEGREES!"
