ROCK STEADY FOR LIFE..... OR REALLY?

For this blog entry, Miss Asia will be taking over "Words from the Porcelain God". Well this past Sunday, I got to "enjoy" my first Rocksteady Anniversary hosted by the E.O.W. I got to see some very familiar faces including the lovely L.Boogs and Omar from Black Flag Shoppe as well as Sheena She from Chainsaws & Jelly. Oh, and of course, the whole Gritty family was there as well. Unfortunately, not only did it get rained on and shut down 2 hours early, some of the lackluster performances made me wonder if I got to experience the true essence of the Rocksteady Anniversary. The tornado warning surrounding the Newark area did not stop the true Hip-Hop lovers from screaming in the rain, "HELL NO, WE WONT GO!". But let me not stew upon the negatives. I did get to see some Hip-Hop legends, including Jeru da damaja, Peebly Pooh, Roxanne Shantae, Sean Price, and Cormega. We also had the pleasure of seeing Newarks own Spazzout Boys, Dujeous, and Vice Verses & Big Zoo from the EOW. Also, Newark's mayor Cory Booker stopped by to show support to the event. And of course, Crazy Legs and the rest of the Rocksteady Crew was in full force. To be perfectly honest, Cormega's set was very disappointing. His dj did not have any of his music set up and overall killed the vibe of Rocksteady. Hopefully, next year's will make up for this year's mishaps. Of course, here are some photos from Rocksteady.
