Fred Took it

October 20th, 2008 frednukes Posted in Official Music Business |

So, still licking the wounds from the “Aarhus Took It” hip hop festival a week ago. 3 Weeks days of drinking, being utterly butterly wasted and no sleep at all. Safe to say, I’m getting to old for this shit.

My own concert went really well, I think. We went on stage (me and DJ Diverze) at 21.15 - where people were just showing up (peace to Supajan who did a dope show just before us). So we did a 30-minutes set, where I played the album tracks and 2-3 new tracks. Everything went well, but I was a bit pissed that there weren’t anymore people - due to the fact that they were all outside, waiting in line to get in (and one by one getting analprobed by the securitydudes). So fuck that - the ones who were there seemed to be enjoying the show! To everyone else - congratulations, you missed my final show! (the final show before I embark on a new album and won’t do any more shows before I have a new album ready - if that ever happens). Oh well, since I am not completely heartless - I will supply you guys with a link, where you can hear a couple of the tracks I played! Check it out @ dr.dk/musik. Pictures are up @ my facebook fanpage - check it out (and join it if you feel like it).

I met alot of cool people over there, including some fans, who really gave me alot of love. So thanks a bunch for that you guys!

Noticable events, which occured during the 3 days:

I met up with Black Milk after my show and told him that I thought he was a really dope producer and that i wanted him to take a listen to my CD (which I gave him at the same time) which I had worked on for 4 years and considered it to be my baby. Now during the conversation, he didn’t really pay a lot of attention and his eyes weren’t really focused on me at any point during the talk. I can live with that, and figured it was just his way of behaving (or simple I’m-too-cool-to-look-you-in-the-eyes-arrogance). But later during the evening, I talk to one of my girl friends (as in friend and nothing more) and she told me that she had recieved a CD from “one of the Caltroit dudes”. I thought, wow, what a co-incidence - considering the fact that the only one I gave a CD to that night was black Milk. So I wrote him a message with pretty much the same text as above and this is what he replied:

“man i havnt gave that album out, either sombody picked it up from back stage from where my stuff was cuz thats where i sat it cuz someone stole my chord so i dont know what happen to the cd fam”

Yes, offcourse.. and I should trust that, before I trust my good friend, who was given the CD from you? And hell just froze over. Thanks for the love.

Jay-B (Jeppe Bisgaard), who was the host of the 3-day event, got so drunk that he decided to try off his mack game on my girlfriend. Apparantly without luck. The day after, he was sober as a cat and very down to earth.

The last day, saturday, we all went to the offical afterparty. I guess we were there for 1 hour or so, before we decided to split and get some food. When I got out, I bumped into 2 african dudes, who asked me if they could get my gold-VIP bracelet. I thought, heck, I wasn’t gonna use it anymore, so offcourse he could have it - IF he could get it off my wrist. So he ended up desperately trying to rip it off my wrist and after 2 or 3 minutes of pulling and yelling, he finally got it off my wrist. Now, that was cool and I was happy for him. But the thing was - while I was chilling afterwards, he tried to get my girlfriends “took-it bracelet” as well. No problem. But he ended up trying to grab my girlfriends boobs, without me seeing it. So I guess, that’s what you get for being a nice guy. Moral of the story and note to self - be more of a dick.

I was also supposed to hook up with Akrobatik and SlopFunkDust to do a track a couple of days after, but they ditched me (after I waited for 1 hour at the trainstation for them and had food cooking for them back home). So all in all, not a very successful American networking experience.

Last but not least, if you have a dope “took it” story, feel free to share it in the comments beneath!

3 ugers druk (som du skriver) kan tære på selv den yngste hustler :)

Du får da ellers lige udleveret et par folks her Frede… ;) Er det her jeg skal fortælle om en af dine småpinlige druk moves? eller jeg kunne bare nøjes med at vise dette billed af dig i Århus for et par år siden:

    • Haha, oops - Typo! It has been corrected :) Ahhh man, det er ikke fair at poste sådan et billede. Jeg må slå mig selv hårdt for at have gået i sådanne ting - det var så sandt som det er sagt i the “bling bling” era.

    Jeg ankom lige til Supa-Jans sidste nummer efter at have stået i kø i en halv times tid vil jeg tro (Jan var ikke gået på da jeg kø’ede op) så jeg så det meste af dit show, og jeg synes det var pissegodt. Jeg missede Roskilde, men jeg synes det var blevet ti gange bedre og mere nærværende end de første du lavede med Deconstructing. Så biggup for det :-)

    Sur røv med CD-passers og boob-grabbers - hard goddamn work having a beautiful girlfriend. Jeg lovede engang at give Talkback’s beat-CD til KRS-One og den gav han også direkte videre til en weed-carrier homie.

    Min Took It experience var rimelig smooth i år, da jeg kun skulle være der torsdag. Jeg blev kørt derover, nåede lige Den Sorte Skoles workshop/foredrag, interviewede Malice fra Clipse på hans hotelværelse, fes til Took It og så en masse fede koncerter. Vandt iPodbattlen med DJ iToobs og tog et nattog hjem ved 5-tiden. Det eneste der glippede var jeg havde glemt at købe billet, og man kunne ikke købe en i toget, så jeg måtte stå af i Skanderborg - bummer.

    three words.fuck the haters.in all shapes, forms and fashion(s).good things come to those who wait(read : waiting and not-doing-a-fuck-about-it is not the same thing).waiting also means serving.serving is not just being a slave, it is also being humble,professional and multi-focused.three more words.you are dope.you have a cd out that is a testament of the three aforementioned qualities.humility,professionalism and focus.good things come to those who wait,homie.in 97 you barely knew how to put a simple sentence together in rhymeform,without sounding audibly amateurish.the origin of that word,amateur,is originally the latin word amātor and means lover(of something).from counterstrike-kitsch to “soul med nye trommer” that love was always present.or, if i turn down the nessum dorma pathos shit an octave, at least an honest sense of rapid growing curiosity driven by a determined will to improve.now its (obama)08.and to me you are one of the most exciting artists developing.you rhyme different.you sound different,you think different.not just different than you did in 97, but different from all the other artists sounding different in a similar way.

    conclusion in short.

    you are dope.fuck the haters.and good things come to those who wait.

    dual-p.s : ” if you feel down bout that took-it milk/akro shit do this mental “exercise”.picture johnny drama taking your place in the story and imagine the alternative potential outcomes of the different events.hehe.and also…get hooked up with saints row 2,pineapple express and big bang theory now.the word was NOW.

    im young,im cool,im rich

    and im out

    peace

    :O)
