Women of Consequence
Sea Level Lounge, 8307 Madison Ave.
C-town, February 12, 2008
Will Napoli, AKA Hot Water
History was made, it was proclaimed by more than one MC, with the start of a weekly event in C-town, one for the ladies. Queens of the
Mic showcases women with styles in their wiles. They can’t help but bring smiles wit’ their files and profiles. They’ lookin’ to start
somethin’ that’s gonna go for miles and naturally riles. 8:00 on your dials.
Grande Uno, for the record, kicked it off after MC Brains Davis set the stage and gave us C-town mains and neighbors an introduction to
the flavors in the spitfest that smartly favors the ladies. Uno might have confused the hombres with her femininity, but when her
manager joined her on stage it was understood to be a Victory Team thing, all good in the Hood. Then came this little thing in
pinstripes and tiger eyes they call Blue Flame and she burned it up and then turned it up. Also joined by her crew, it was too thru. Who
knew this hot dame has got game like top name? Such hot flame, Blue Flame got fame in her name!
Then came the bomb, the B.O.M.B bomb, The Twins and their mob. They did a job, two hits like it’s the mod, no prob. Huge? It’s like
the bod, a lot. They were followed by Selena J who had a way with R&B and far flew free with a cover and another from her heart and
sea.
Pardon me, but MC Thing, Burnetta Fisher, Miss Thang, came out to reign, glistening. She ain’t got nothin’ missin’, if you listen, you
can christen this night a piston, listen, I mean a womanly anniversary is the mission. Did you get the whole transmission? It’s a gold
goaled transition.
Puttin’ in her two spits worth, MC Cookie, who has performed at Peabody’s Concert Club recently did equally decently. I expect to see
her with a frequency, just like this whole sequency.
Warning, up next it’s Caution. She’s gonna crack like she’s the boss an’ back you up with just a caution, from Caution. She’s flossin’.
Then, you saw her in the mix with Blue Flame’s clique, but Lady Tramp had to smack her stamp on the place and clamp your face to the
map, Cleveland. Believe in believin’. She ain’t deceivin’. That ain’t just air she’s breathin’. Get it clear. She ain’t leavin’.
Then it came to the spit boxer known from many a zone, Chevy Blue. She’s a heavy brew and heady too. Get ready to get read,
renewed, read nude and ready red in your pretty head. Hold on ‘cause you gettin’ led from the lead head of the boo that blew, Chevy
Blue. It’s so heavy, ooh. That girl ain’t packin’ no lack an’ she’s black an’ Chevy Blue.
It’s not me quotin’. It’s hot equatin’: Emotion --> Elation, the quotient equation, eternally internally, periodically and infernally. As DJ Jay
Fresh and others in the house, on the stage, kept the house aroused and on the page, flippin’ trippin’ tracks like flap jacks and wax
stacks keepin’ the flows flexin’ the flux to the max and the smacks to yo’ backs ‘til you can’t relax but fax back your hard history artistry,
part mystery hardest fee, shout about the route out of doubt and smart industry in the streets wit’ heat and feel that beat, fill that sheet
and fulfill that feat. I can’t but spill complete. You can’t kill my meat.
Music is the human engine, ingenuity and you and me. Brains Davis, first million-seller from the Hip Hop well o’ C-town’s beat downs
keepin’ the town down spread the love and knowledge around to round the sound of the underground lounge, like brown and orange is
brownge. The appearance of notables was quotable and so the show is sure to grow with heavies in bevies and queens rockin’ the
scene like I mean. Much love for the love shove and all of the above.
