Dope event. I’m glad Stefonics (sp) got first place. DN8 shouldn’t have been in the last round, but whatever, that’s how the ball bounces sometimes. P. Riot (sp) was mad crazy! Who would’ve thought that a mid 30’s to 40 something Japanese lady from Harlem and originally from Japan could get down like that? Not me.. She held her own and should’ve gone way farther than what she got. Props go out to Mahogany as a judge, but I think his vote in her round was misplaced. I understand that you were looking for some New York Sh**, but you gotta recognize.. Considering the fact that two dudes opened up with some soft RnB stuff, and one of them even went to the final round, P. Riot really didn’t get her chance to shine. Yeah, we know that if it would’ve been in Atlanta then she would’ve torn the roof off with her first beat, but you dissed her real hard but voting for the other dude in her round. Oh well. Overall it was a good night, and props to all producers who competed. I’ll be uploading photos to my flickr soon, so check them out and if anyone wants to use any of them for anything, just holla at me. One.
