HSK was in the house for the DJ Quik, E-40 concert at the Ventura Theater in Ventura Ca on Saturday night. Let me start by saying the Ventura Theater is a great place to catch your favorite act!! It’s small with great sound and a historical setting. It kind of has that House of Blues feel to it. And guess what? They ain’t really checking for irb so bring your weed mane!! The other thing about this venue is it’s located near Oxnard… you know what that means…Lots of Latinas reppin’ the 805, and looking fine too!!(and to the sexy lady sittin’ next to me enjoying the show and smokin’ with me, leave a comment and I’ll get at you sweetheart!!)

Quik took the stage at an early 10pm. His set started with the group 2nd II None. They did some of their classic joints from back in the day. Then Quik took front and center stage and he did not disappoint. Playing a mix of his old school and new school tracks. Quik’s live shows always has great audio, know why? Because he actually does a SOUND CHECK mane!! Makes all the difference. Quik also performed with tons of energy, jumping into the crowd and on the speakers and shit like that. Quik’s body guards had a hard time keepin’ up with him. The crowd was feelin’ it too, rappin’ along and groovin’ to the beat. Quik’s set ended with him chillin’ in the crowd, and everyone on one!!

Then if that wasn’t enough, the tycoon of the bay E-40 took the stage!! 40 was on stage with brother D-Shot. His set also had a mix of his old and new school joints. The crowd definitely responded better to his classics, verses his newer material. 40 also looks like he’s gained some weight and that was effecting his spit. He was hella winded and had a hard time busting some of his verses. But he still hit it out of the park mane!!

This was a great concert!! and you know what? it gave me some hope that the rap game isn’t over and that the art of the live performance wasn’t R.I.P. either!!
