Hip Hop is Alive in a San Francisco Dive

It was pretty empty when I got to El Rincon. People looked at me strangely, so i stood against the wall like they were doing. The bar keep looked nervous but she was busy... enough. We all looked at each other and looked away. We didn't want to stare too long because tonight it was going down.

Koi Entertainment and Klass Klown Entertainment were presenting Crossing Bridges. The show was a collection of artists in the Hip Hop genre, all from the Bay Area, coming together to exhibit their talent before an amazingly loving crowd.

The acts put on their best show. Fire and energy, reality, and message were paramount as each act took the stage. Anticipation mounted and waned and the crowd grew to a fever pitch then settled back into the trance of the beat. When a certain song made them excited they danced... boing... boing... each bouncing into and off of their own force field and not touching each other, hands by their ears, pinkies raised, with faces toward heaven or hell.

What made this a great show was the comradery. People actually danced. They rapped along. And these artists had somehow indoctrinated the crowd without radio play. Somehow some light had shone through the industry wall and brightened this club. The ladies came to party. The guys played their parts. Everybody had a good time and the bar owner got paid.
