Strange to see a such a food connoisseur like Action Bronson hanging out in McDonalds

Didn't get there in the end, the wifepiece spent too much time out Chrimbo shopping!
But, the lads who were there say it was excellent. These are the same guys who were at the last one as well who thought that was also excellent. So I would estimate that it was a similar level of excellence!

There was also an Irish Hip Hop beef settled last night. GI and Rob Kelly had a bit of a dust up at the gig, planned and backstage with Action B as the special guest ref. GI, at least that's who i think it would have been, the lads just told me one of the Irish lads, but given thier history, it must have been GI....anyway, apparently GI knocked Rob Kelly out in a 'straightner'.

ah well, still though whos ever heard of GI? beter to be a good rapper than street brawler.

I can only laugh at this. GI is easily the most talented individual in Irish hip-hop, far better rapper than Rob Kelly and his production is incredible

A little video of the brawl between GI and Rob Kelly. 1.07 for the knock out blow.

Ummm, what's this? I know they're both Irish rappers, did they get into a fight the other night at this gig? Bit lost here.

There has to be more to this...

And Rob didn't go down from that punch... he just backed out of the shot...

Seaneh

Rob and a few others claiming the video is bull****. Only shows one dig GI landed, rob didn't even wobble... Apparently "Cards getting pulled real soon". Action giving rob props after the show and stuff... I wouldn't be surprised to see more videos coming out soon showing a whole other side of that "fight".

To be honest.

The video is very very Working Class sided. But from what I've heard, RK did go down. I'm sure there will be more video's.

@Pretty Boy - They are Irish rappers and have been making remarks about it each in press and interviews. A genuine Irish hip hop beef.
They came toe to toe at the back of The Twisted Pepper and Action Bronson stepped in as a ref.

@Seaneh - I'm not sure if we are going to see any more releases from the Info's. Stevie is concentrating on other stuff right now. He's MCing at drum n bass gigs, and doing a bit of production as well and a bit of singing too I believe. The few songs I've heard sound pretty good.

pity about the infos. kill or create is the best IHH album ever.

It was more Git and Pauli and the lads talking about Rob and the Class A lads for the last 4 years nonstop than a beef. Rob and Nuie and the other lads don't even acknowledge the lads from Finglass. It's a totally 1 sided "beef" and probably goes back to when UI had a pop at Rob and Nuie about 10 Years ago. It's retarded. They talk all this "keeping it real bollocks" but it just sounds like chips on shoulders.

As for the "fight" there was more than one lad with a phone out. I've heard from a few lads now that the highlight reel git is posting bs. I'd rather hear AB and a few others opinions than see a video of Git landing one punch ...

Were they only allowed throw boxes or are they both just naturally sh1te fighters?

Looked like RK had that for most of it an then GI turns away for a second and then gets it (from what was shown). Not that either of them should be doing it but from what music they have released and interviews that has been bubbling for a few years. Bit more time with Duddy or at home is needed.

It does seem like what Seanah was saying was right though. One sided video and "beef".

Is 50 Cent supporting Eminem in Slane? They said it on Spin 1038 today apparently

I'm hearing that as well man, i've high hopes, i wanted to see 50 since my sister went to see him a good few years back. I reckon there'll be a lot more support than 50 anyway

mufcboy1999

If 50s going to be there I reckon most of shady 2.o will be there too... Possibly slaughterhouse , yelawolf they've been backing him in recent concerts and the international promo would do them good IMO.

How long is the set going to be?

MD1990

from what ive seen on youtube
50 doesn't sound to good live
but does have good energy on stage

to be honest thats the best way to describe it, he isnt the best live performer you'll ever see but the energy he brings is insane. This africa concert when he got his chain snatched was mad, the cop falls off his bike at 1.05 mark is hilarious , then he jumps into the crowd for his chain mental. I swear the waterford one was nearly as bad He actually flung a lad of stage at the gig, there was a serious drop off that stage too.

a lot of his concerts have a history of incidents from the old g unit flinging chairs at each other at summer jam to recently smacking gunplay round and robbing his chain etc. My friend went to a justin timberlake concert in 07 with his girlfriend and 50 was supporting him, he said he made the concert he was meant to be unreal, his set at eminem and jay'z's concert last year was crazy too.

one things for sure he'll get the crowd buzzing anyway, im sure em will perform patiently waiting etc with him that would be nice.

Saw him when he first came to Ireland (2003 I think) but haven't gone to see him since, hopefully there'll be a few good supporting acts.

been going to hip hop gigs for years and years and have always said 50 was the worst rapper live by miles,jeru the damaja was the best live.

Rob Kelly ‏@RobHKelly
@GIKeepnehlit stopped me from holding and hitting you, ya caught me once in 2 minutes and then wanted to squash it and an end to net talk

@GIKeepnehlit and 1st thing ya did was take it to net so like I said no more tweetin or talkin or youtubin that's it. See ya again

Rob Kelly ‏@RobHKelly
@GIKeepnehlit You live your life on the Internet you ****in gob****e underworld don.. Done talkin that's it



That's Kell's take on it, and from chatting to Tommy Mas the other day, that's a good description of what happened.

They wouldn't last 4 3's with their egos on the line they'd be swinging like fúck and prob gas out within about 2 rounds, sure white collar events aren't even 4 3's, make it 3 2's and I reckon they'd have a nice little scrap. Have either of the lads ever boxed before?

mufcboy1999

The amount of fights going in hip hop the last year is unreal ... I say 2012 was an all time high for rappers scrapping.

Actually Pharoahe Monch was only supported by Jeru & DJ Tu-Ki in Tripod as Jean Gray supported Talib Kweli in the same venue a few weeks later.

That was back in the epic summer of 2007 when The Clipes played Vicar Street, Xzibit was in the Button Factory, Ghostface played the Tivoli, El-P rocked Tripod.........and Mos Def showed up over and hour late to briefly mumble through his back catalogue in a very disappointing show at the Village.

The best Jeru the Damaja gig I was at was in Ri-Ra back in 2005. It's such a small venue that he actually walked around through the crowd shaking peoples hands as he was performing. He stayed on for ages afterwards signing autographs, chatting and taking pictures with everyone. Dead sound bloke!

The one in 2005....is that the one where he was hammered and stopped the set to go to the toilet? He was talking through the mic while doing his big boys business......excellent gig.

Saw Jeru in the pod around 2000/2001 - really good gig.

lupe fiasco in tripod in 2008 was probably the second best live performance iv seen.
