Club Crooks Get Robbed!!!

I had never seen such lack of respect and selfishness as the spectacle at the Crown Room last night! Now, first Easter Egg and Izm had brought in one of Chicago’s best producers of Juke to tear the club up, which he did. Until some guys wanted different music to dance to. It’s fine to want different music to dance to, the solution is GO SOMEWHERE ELSE!!! Jackasses need to become adults and understand that going to a club isn’t the same as your high school dance.

Jackasses don’t get to TELL people what to do!! What the fuck is wrong with people? They don’t even ASK!?!?  Who fucking cares if you don’t like the music being played? People think they are so much more important than others when they decide what’s best for their small little drunk group is what’s best for me, my girlfriend or everyone else. One word, iPod. Humiliating a DJ so girls WHO ARE SO WASTED THEY ARE DRAGGED (literally holding her up barely conscious with this group taking pics and laughing at her) can feel like their boyfriend is powerful, is weak.  Powerfully rude. Rule #1 is you don’t ask for requests. Rule #2 You don’t make them play what they don’t want to. This is beginners etiquette for nightlife. Lots of beginners.

Okay, so this is the night in a quick wrap up. Easter Egg had the show going early was told to cool it down. He even played Mic Terror, which is exactly what we were listening to before we went down there. Izm went all West Coast with the classics from NWA and Dre while maxing out the sound. Ben Tactic came on strong with the best shirt I’ve seen in long time. Instead of Nike, it said Sike. Tactic destroyed a speaker blowing the shit out of it.

Ben took the crowd and bitch slapped us all with heater after heater. Blam! Goddamn! Then came Gant MAN! He flew in from Chicago earlier in the day and brought all the energy of Chicago’s new Juke music which is fast and furious. He played all the songs that I wanted to hear from Chicago! THEN the show stops so the jackasses can persuade Gant Man to play hip hop. He finally relents and plays hip hop. The old OLD hip hop. Electric Kingdom and the early electro breakdancing music. In fact one guy busted out the moves and got down on the ground. THEN THE SHOW STOPS AGAIN! The Jackasses want BETTER hip hip! Couldn’t even believe I was seeing this happen! Treating a guy flown in from Chicago like he’s a wedding DJ was just fucking wrong. The Jackasses argue out loud with Gant Man in front of the club. In fact it was so weird and awkward the bouncer had to get on stage! On the mic Gant Man said exactly what I was thinking “I don’t want to hear shit I’ve listened to since I was 5!”. I wasn’t going to a birthday party, I was going to CLUB CROOKS where the DJ’s kill it. Killing it for those who care/like music. Not like it’s some after thought. Portland doesn’t treat music like it’s background music. It’s the Khaki pants medium salsa mentality of suburbia that doesn’t care about music, that is the problem with culture and particularly with Portland. You’re not a world class city when you have mall shoppers deciding the music to be played. Come on Portland, you look like a backwater hick town that doesn’t “get” new music.

I’m embarrassed because one of Chicago’s best and influential producers now has the impression that Portland  Orygone is a small town with small minds.

    this is why the crown room will be portland’s demise. the location and the constant catering to philistines will only lead to mainstream thug mentality. keep real shit out of the crown and keep the hedz on the east side.
