Did anybody see Blaqstarr at Sonar last night?

blaqstarr I want to know how the show was.

I heard international superstar M.I.A. was supposed to make a surprise appearance.

Did that happen?

And how was Blaqstarr's set?

Fill me in, please.

A friend of mine went. I'll have him contact you. Don't think he's one of your regular posters. {That sounds wrong.}

It was pretty fun, a little too rowdy for me for a sleepy sunday, but the crowd was VERY into it. MIA did not show up, but I didn't really expect her too since isn't Coachella today or tomorrow?

It was a mix of club, radio rap, some dancehall sounding stuff, lots of call and response... seemed like everyone was having a good time. I left right as Blaqstarr's set was starting, but I imagine that it got even wilder after he got on stage. He always kills it.

Sorry, but ripping off the name from a real rap group (Black Star) won't make me see your show, dude.

Since he's lacking originality in his name, it's only safe to assume it's also lacking in his music...
