"My fight is ill" - Naughty by Nature





What do you do when you have no job and no money? I don’t know what you would do but I threw a party. It wasn’t just any party it was like getting flashed transported out of my shitty little miserable city through funk music and revelry. It was more than just a party though it was an art show. Actually it was two art shows in the same night. If you were too stupid to understand the concept then we didn’t want you to come. Check 2 Check. Shit was off the chain. Admission was $1 with a ticket to an art raffle that never happened because the MC got wasted. Instead art was hurled out into the crowd like nuclear warheads.

It all started as a stoned idea in the head of a local sandwich shop delivery driver. He came by our house while we were having a yard sale and saw the mass amount of art we had piled up in every corner. He had a venue that we could have a show in at a local Hardcore music spot. I rounded up a dozen or so of the most honest, free-wheeling, broke, degenerate, beautiful, talented cats doing their thing out here. We had so much art that we needed to find more than one spot to show it in. Plus we were trying to have a free show and they were trying to charge for our bands. Crack Banshee, Zackey Force Funk, and Twenty One Pump Street tore the walls down. Playing cards rained in the air. Minds were blown. This is what art is supposed to be about. Two shows one night. More art than you can shake a stick at. I lost ninety six bucks off the show. The fucking cops even came and red stickered the venue. Welcome to 2009 you still can’t stop us.
