Sometimes free drinks is the only pay you get. Why would you want to underpay yourself?
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i dont really do free anymore but this is where its at!! you start on pennys!! if you dont get them, let the beer flow, we had a regular 3 course mixing session for about a year or so on a saturday night! in a pub where wed known the owner since skool, it was a bit of a dive but we got a bit of cash and free booze, then on to early doors at the club down the road for 1/2hours, the first pubs beer and chasers had sorta gotten a grip of you then so to sorta leval yourself off, pills were the way to go! well that or coke/speed, whatever really!! not over do it!! just do it! we were mainly playing hip hop. breaks, funk grooves etc and we were expected to do like a bit of battleing stylee stuff for the punters cos it always went down well, then supposedly on to the next club, same sorta thing just apparently with a bit more control!! but by then we were usually skutted!! but we had a regular spot and all the towneys would love it!
cos lets face it!! when it comes down to hip hop/rnb etc, its all about reading the crowd and dropping the right tunes, and i think thats why it worked for so long!! cos we just got with it, its sorta like the average music lover selecting what was played, in a way!! we did have a lot of skills though to be honest, but at times it was less about technical ability and more about where to possition your feet so that you do fall ass over tit!!
but it always wend down, me and my mate absolutly broke down in fits of laughter when some chav come up to us on probably the worst pissed up set we ever done (technically) my mate had food poisoning for a dodge burger, both of us pissed up, and this lad comes along, shakes our hands saying "yeh man, heavy set"
personal joke!! but ohhh maaan!!
after that lot we thought we'd better take things a bit more seriously!! mind you that was like 10 years ago or so!! it was our first break and we nearly pissed it all up ther wall!!
