199X’s other contributor, The Persian Prince, finally chimes in:
“My first live hip hop experience that I remember was in impromptu hip hop concert in the apartment above the Black Market in Halifax. Stinkin’ Rich (Buck 65’s old moniker) and Cory Bowles, of Trailer Park Boys fame (then with Truro rap group, Hip Club Groove) set up some speakers out the window and started rapping.The year was 1996 and the track might have been ‘Success without College.’
A few months ago, my friend Nick got me super into mashups and just recently told me about DJ Lobster Dust.
Nick also told me that Mashup Mondays at Toronto’s Rockwood Club are pretty good. I’m going to hit it up sometime in the next few weeks and I’ll let you know what the go is.

Last week, my friend told me that I should check out The Cool Kids.
“I’ve been bumping that shit in the car, windows down, all around the Central Business District,” he said. He lives in Vancouver, and he’s right. This is the kind of stuff you can bump in the car with the windows down.
Where Pharell and Lupe rhyme about skateboarding, these guys talk about riding bikes and stunna shades. I also love the lyrics to their track Bassment Party:
Every party I hop the bar and dance with the chicks on top of that
Bartender be like “get off a that!”
I’m like “not ’til I get rich off of rap!

If it’s not, there is always the free Crystal Castles (we posted about them here) and Thunderheist show on Saturday night at the Harbourfront Center.
At 199X.org, we love banging beats almost as we much the undead and that’s why we were stoked when we say the poster above promoting Egyptrixx and SEK ONE with some other guys.
To get you fired up, here’s a track from Egyptrixx courtesy of Creamteam.TV
What else would you expect from group whose name apparently means “Invasion From Mars” and whose members have chosen to name themselves after ancient Egyptian pharaohs?
A few weeks ago we had a Medical Themed party, The St. Beatrice Memorial Hospital Annual Gala.
Everyone came dressed appropriately medical. There were doctors, patients, a lifeguard and the sexiest stab-wound victim that you’ve ever seen. It was fucking wicked.
We set up a muxtape playlist for the party, but it doesn’t work anymore so instead check out this track by Pnau. It’s called Shock To My System, and seemed to fit with the party theme.
