All 74 #OWASTHERE Events. And Counting

What’s good.

Yesterday, I was going through an old Facebook album dedicated to all of the major events that I’ve been to.

I haven’t updated the album for like 6 months, but I still kept note of all the events via Instagram.

In that, there were gaming events, gigs and football matches. But the majority of them were gigs.

So I thought to myself; how many gigs have I actually been too?!

Take a look:

I couldn’t help but notice that I’ve been to the Jazz Cafe 16 times. This is crazy.

And I’ve still got a couple more events coming up too!

I have tickets to see Action Bronson, Danny Brown and Pete Rock.

Q-Tip is pending.

So it’s due to be 78 very soon!

O’s Track Of The Week: Sway – Whose Line Is It Anyway?

This track is too awesome.

Why?

  • Sway is referencing some of the best hip hop songs ever
  • The video is a tribute to Bob Dylan’s classic “Subterranean Homesick Blues”
  • Sway KNOWS his hip hop
  • I was able to finish the majority of Sway’s lines on the first listen
  • The instrumental is Ghostface Killah’s “Mighty Healthy” which is highly regarded as one of his best songs

It was good for Sway to perform this track at XOYO back in 2011. And I still play this track to this day!

You should hear Pepsi and Thief’s Theme from his earlier mixtapes.

I only got to meet him briefly back in 2011, but I hope to meet him again.

Here’s the track:

Original instrumental: Ghostface Killah – Mighty Healthy

Original sample: The Sylvers – Wish That I Could Talk To You

TRACK OF THE WEEK RUNNERS UP:

Usher – There Goes My Baby

Adina Howard – My Up And Down

Cam’ron – Horse & Carraige
