Res & Talib @ Midway

1:30 PM





so the first time i ever heard Res' music was when i came across her video "Golden Boy" on tv.  there was something about the colors of the video and the lyrics that just pulled me in.  she was a cool and confident sista who wasn't flaunting her skin or trying to get dirrrty on the dance floor.  and after seeing her perform last thursday at Midway in NYC, she is still that cool and that confident.

about 1am she went on stage and performed a new song which was very cool.  but i must honestly say i was there for the old joints.  when the beat dropped for "Ice King" i had to pause.  i sat in the front with my friend Karen and sang my heart out.  so much so that Res and i were in serious eye contact as she walked over to me and gave me a personal 3 second show.  shortly after, she performed "They Say Vision" which also had myself and everyone in a beautiful haze.  after her solo set Talib Kweli came on stage and mingled and did some songs as well including "Hostile Gospel Pt. 1". Dres  from Black Sheep was also in the house (can we say old school??).  all in all, i must say for $5 it was a pretty cool time.
