The Gift of Gab
Last night, I went to the Quannum World Tour 2004 show at Irving Plaza. The concert featured several Quannum artists, most notably DJ Shadow and Blackalicious. Other artists included DJ D-Sharp, The Gift of Gab, Joyo Valarde, Latyrx, Lateef & The Chief, Lifesavas and Lyrics Born. What can I say, I absolutely loved the show. It was billed as the first gathering of all the Quannum artists in on show.
It seemed like there were too many MC's on stage at times, but at other times, they worked well together. MC's included The Gift of Gab, Lyrics Born, Lateef, and the Lifesavas crew, Jumbo and Vursatyl. Several DJ's were also on hand, including DJ Shadow, Chief Xcel from Blackalicious, Rev Shines from Lifesavas, and DJ D-Sharp.
I guess the question with all that talent on stage was, "who was the best?" As far as DJ's go, I would have to go with Shadow. All the MC's were very talented, but I think The Gift of Gab and Lyrics Born were the best with Lateef impressive as well.
Clips from the show:
