So its that time of the year again, it’s the ANNUAL HAITIAN FLAG DAY FESTIVAL. Many will be making the trip down south to see the many bands that they have been paying bucks/bal to see. This time I guess it’s a lot better, they pay 30 bucks and see them all perform in one spot. So groovy and innovative!!!! While I enjoy Tvice, Carimi, Krezi, I could care less about the other bands that will be in attendance. My team and I have been communicating with the organizers for the past 6 months and while they’re happy with the work that we’re doing, they still will not let one of our groups hit the stage, Which is cool with us because that’s the way they choose to do THEIR show. My only problem with this whole thing is that it’s supposed to represent Haitian culture and Haitian pride yet they choose to ignore Hip Hop and Reggae.
For Haiti’s independence day festival, they brought a reggae artist to the show, but only one problem, he wasn’t Haitian. Who else in America cares about Haitian Flag day other than Haitians? Do you think America will be inviting Clef to perform at their July 4th Parade? I highly doubt it.
I could sit here and bash these boys but at the end of the day it still won’t solve my main issue with them. As recent as last Friday I was speaking to these dudes, “yo mesye, I like what y’all doing. Y’all giving this movement life here in the states” but soon as we ask for a spot, homeboi is giving us the run around. To make matters worst, he gave us some tickets as if we asked him for this shit. Negro please, we’re going to sell all 10 and buy us a few bottles of babancourt for the real Haitian party…and to all of y’all coming down, you read right. The real party is Saturday night…Friday we’re in Orlando at 2pm and Friday we’ll be in Lil Haiti with Clef, Haitian Fresh, Mecca, and many of our Creole Hip Hop artists. And Saturday night, we got the official party…and it won’t be in a club. Si w pa gen tanga, al achete youn, paske I can’t stand when y’all come to a pool party and y’all just stand on the side without getting wet. And I do mean, getting WET…Invites only please, so if you’re from NY, CT, Boston, DC, VA, ATL, Rhode Island, PA…You are invited to the special location. Just hit your boi up on this blog, and you’ll be on the list. All the other states, peut etre next year, Na invite w. Sak pa konta, File a danm LAWSUIT…GYET Marenn nou!
PS: If i have not spoken to you since the last time you came to FL, don't hit me up please. If i have not spoken to you since the last time i sent an e-mail invite, don't fucking call me please.
Pss: Mwen tande yo di yo gen zam, kisa w pense ti kakatwe, nou fout met pann yo nan plane!!!!!

The WORD wonders. That growling noise could be his stomach. Maybe it’s the

Lawsuit??? lol. Ou toujou ap voye point ti nom sa. Se pitit papa w. I can understand where the kompa festival guys are coming from yet it doesn't justify their reasons for not having your crew perform. I'd love to see 509 Boyz perform at this show.
ReplyDeletePiti, I'm touching down wednesday night and I don't need you to chauffeur me around or nothing just tell me where the hotspots are at. Since the micky party is a block from your house, maybe you can come man.
But zafe w si w pa al nan festival la...Save a ticket for me bro.
I thought you said you wouldn't use profanity anymore?
ReplyDeleteMoun Brooklyn toujou act like yo pa konn read...
ReplyDelete"Next thing on the list…I hope by the end of 08 there will be no cuss words on my blog. Folks, I am trying to keep it out when I am here relaying my thoughts to you folks. If I can’t use it at work then why do it on my blog, my private sanctuary. I know the kids that I tutor would have a problem if they were to visit the blog, so I am going to try very hard this year and hopefully by the end of 08, there won’t be anymore shit, fuck, danm, hoes, bitch, etc. Ok, I had to get them demons out for a second.
G, save a ticket for you? That stuff costs man.
ReplyDeletemezanmi Babe, so much hostility!!! its messed up that they dont want to give guys a spot, it would have been diverse, which is how its suppose to be; we're a diverse culture!!!
ReplyDeleteSo, am i invited to the pool party?

I agree, they should have let at least one of your boyz on that stage. Don't hold any grudges though, just keep trying. Did they give you any reasons?
ReplyDeleteI think many other people/fans can write to them and give them some feedback. I've heard last year it was wack but I don't think there's any way of relaying that message to the organizers.
Oh, how come I haven't seen any invites in my e-mail for these parties? What's the discounted rate for those tickets? lol
Ti chou this is the reason why you represent the KHH movement. Don't ever give up the work your doing for the KHH movement.
ReplyDeleteSituations like this will always happen. I bet you if KHH start getting BIGGER it will be the same people at your door step asking for the artist they would not even give the time of day today...
It will all change, anything GOOD takes time for people to recognize, supuort and appreciate...
