My friend Laurence (culture marketing manager at Red Bull France) invited me last night to the Red Bull BC one B-Boy battle at Hammerstein ballroom. She hooked me up and homey Gorey with dope spot where we had a great view on the battles.The night was sick! Boogie down finest blast master KRS ONE was hosting the event and in between battles, Talib Kweli and Hi-Teck as well as the world famous Rock Steady Crew killed it.. It’s the first Hip Hop event in years where I felt I was watching HD TV. Huge bass and perfect sound, fantastic light show and perfect timing. The crowd (including, Ninth Wonder, Fab Five Freddy, Zulu Gremlins,Ricky Powell, Martha Cooper,etc…) was super hype the all night. The battle level was just beyond real and the true Hip Hop culture was at its best. I wish I could post the movies I shot but I leave it to you to go to the Red Bull BC NY battle 2009 to appreciate. Congratulation to Lilu for crushing the competition.
