It's like your stomach wants to scream, and you want to scream and the rush of all these feelings become too much to bear, too much and so much that you almost want to cry just to be able to release everything.
That's what Hip Hop does to me, when I hear artists that I respect, when I listen to what they are saying, the beats that come along with it, all I can do in the end is shake my head and stick my arm in the air.
So when Pete Rock did a set in Sydney, I felt it, that emotional rush, the wanting to get on my knees. Well of course I didn't - that would be silly, I bowed though. Hands up, bowed and told him later in person his set nearly made me cry. Probably embarrassing to say out loud but there were just no other words to describe how I felt.
Why would I get like this? He's a DJ/producer from New York, my bro said he used to just rock up to a club and see him playing no big deal. I on the other hand, had bought tickets to see him three months prior.
It's because sets like these you don't get to experience very often here in Sydney.

But I love that I get so high on music. Everyone thought I was wasted or on some sort of substance but I wasn't.
I was excited.
Not too many times have I felt this way. I can name them now, not limited to Hip Hop:
1. Pete Rock - Sydney - 2012
2. Tribe Called Quest - Sydney - 2010
3. Booka Shade - Melbourne - 2007

So tell the people like that y'all (that y'all)
And it sounds so nice
