The backstage games officially began when porn stars Sinnamon and her sidekick for the day Kitten finally made it to the NOS Center. After being ushered to the backstage area, the duo was set to interview Little Brother for Sinnamon’s new DX column titled "Sex Love & Hip Hop." As part 1 of the interview took place, we knew it would be a steamy affair that could only translate correctly on video.

With time winding down backstage, LB rushed to the stage with their man D Brock and got straight to it. Their set was Get Back heavy. They performed “Sirens” “Extra Hard” “Dreams” and “When Everything is New.” They also went back to the Minstrel Show for “Say it Again” along with other songs. Pooh caught a lot of flak for his lyrics on earlier LB projects, but he deserves just as much credit for his stage presence. Add in D Brock on the vocals and Phonte next to Pooh, and an LB show is something to see.

Fresh off yet their invigorating performance, Dilated Peoples would be the next to be interviewed by the dynamic duo.

Meanwhile, a game of chance was taking place backstage, as Sage Francis and Rich from Guerilla Union engaged in a quick game of poker. The outset of the game saw the Strange Famous Records artist down early in front of a crowd of journalists and performers. In an ending fit for a big screen feature, Sage emerged victorious on the game’s final hand, just in time to hit the stage and close the show.

As editor, photographer and porn stars wrapped up the second part of their interview with Little Brother (the video is coming soon) all headed back through the arena which resembled a warzone of Hip Hop, alcohol and good old fashion fun.

T-shirts? Sold in bunches. CDs? Gone before sun down. Staff? Burnt out from a long day of work.

Another job well done.

Until next year,
Management
