Okkkkk Sooooo when I saw the promo for the PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 start to circulate, I can honestly say…that I was extra stoked! I mean... I was still a little shell shocked from the last battle I attended, and I had vowed that it would be a minute before I went to another. (*I mean…these battles are like extra super serious…all your emotions start working against each other, your heart races, and it's insane…I wasn't prepared to go thru that again just yet) When I saw that REFEREE NELSON was going to be battling against SHUICIDE HOLLA I hurried up and did 2 very important things. #1…I did a little digging…ya know…just to make sure that this was an official event (*I mean…it did kinda pop up outta nowhere), and after a solidified confirmation, #2 I did something that I rarely ever do. I actually starting hitting people up for tickets! (*I know…I know…crazzyyyyy) I normally don't go on ticket hunts…but this PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 REF vs SHU battle was a MUST! I couldn't believe that REF was really going to battle SHU! I'm not saying it wasn't possible…hell…anything is possible…if you put you mind to it (*I guess) but this battle to me was like a David vs Goliath type deal. (*You can figure out who's who…duhhhhh)
I was a little nervous for REF. I'm not saying that he couldn't defeat SHUICIDE HOLLA, but the last time I witnessed REF a few years back in a cypher…which included SHUICIDE HOLLA…he kinda choked. Nooooo he didn't choke so hard that he needed the heimlich , but he had to regroup and keep it moving. SHUICIDE on the other hand…basically ate everyone alive, was full of confidence and barely broke a sweat. That was a few years ago down on Coventry…so I was somewhat stimulated with the thought of REF defeating SHUICIDE, and then…deep down I was also rooting for SHU. Let's face it….even though he may come off as cocky…or unapproachable…the dude is super talented, and mos def 1 of a kind. Ughhhhhh I was having a hard time picking a possible winner so I just put it in the BATTLE GOD'S hands.
The whole city was going nuts! This was 1 of the biggest events of the year so far and I had to make sure I had tickets. (*S/0 to Top Of The World for plugging me in…love you Nicole…you had my back! XOXO) After deciding on who would be the best companion to enjoy the event with I requested my UBER (*use my promo code for a free ride Jennb345...your welcome) and met up with Quincy Taylor aka Big Heff. I knew this battle was going to be huge, when Big Heff displayed his excitement, and even attempted to be somewhat on time, not wanting to miss the epic event. That say's a lot, because he has been around the country, works for Def Jam, and has basically seen it all in the music industry.
On our way to the battle in our UBER, we verified the location and made our way allll the way from the Westside to the far Eastside for the PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 event! When we pulled up to the building our UBER driver looked back and gave us the ol "ummm are you sure you guys are at the correct location" look. We assured him we were cool, the UBER drove off, and Big Heff and I were left standing in the middle of a dark, graveled parking lot. We turned in a few circles...trying to locate any form of life, lights, or possible battle that was happening. Eventually we found a huge metal door. It had a gigantic sign that had the word "KNOCK"…scribbled in some kinda "serial killer" handwriting…or maybe the person who wrote it was a lefty. (*S/o to all the lefty's…head roll fingasnap)
Big Heff…being the intelligent person he is…did as instructed. He knocked…and knocked…and knocked…and knocked. (*5 mins later…*Spongebob Squarepants time lapse) the door finally creaked open. We had to kinda wiggle our way in. Finally we were in! Before we were able to pass the security check, the smell of chicken frying aggressively attached itself to our bodies. Luckily I was protected by my armor of CHANEL. Soon as we were securely inside and the heavy door was closed behind us, I quickly understood why we had to wiggle our way in.
There was a huge stage to the left. There was already a battle finishing up, and the stage was surrounded by artists, fans, media…hell everyone! Vanidee Starr (*2 R's…get it right people) Jaz The Rapper, Matt Maunus, and Mz.CrazyTee were all in a tight circle. I decided to make my way thru the crowd, and position myself for the main event REF vs SHU. The time was about 9pm…the event was scheduled for 8ish …so I was almost certain that it would be happening soon.
Walking around I thought to myself…..
Wow…it's like 1 big family reunion in here…I see a little of everyone…cool
I wonder who wrote "KNOCK" like that...
I can smell my CHANEL putting up a fierce battle against this chicken frying...
Mannnn that stage is a nice size…wait…it's fully carpeted…a fully carpeted stage…okkkkkk
Vanidee Starr is always very well put together…she looks so cute
Top Of The World has been out in full force lately…probably preparing for some kinda world domination takeover…they look like a tight unit
ROB ROA is here!!! Mr. I LIKE TO PARTY!
Damnnnnnn his video was dope as fugggggg, can't wait to see him perform "REHAB WITH JOHNNY"
I need to be wherever Mz.CrazyTee just came from…she looks extra tan like she's fresh off a tropical vacation.
Is this a photo booth against this wall?
I only see 1 light….
Ok noooo my bad …it's not
Matt Maunus has been more social lately….like he's really the sh*t right now….he deserves it...
Damnnn Top Of The World has some dope as* jackets…
I'm a vegetarian…I wonder if I can order a polish boy with no polish boy and just the fries with sauce…
Awwwww forget it…the lady warming up the sauce looks like she aint on it...
I wonder what's happening in the back by the Dj Booth
I see DjChuckTheWorld tall self working his Iam216 live broadcast
Iam216 is actually a dope as* show…like... I tune in alot
Who is this hugging me from behind and squeezing my as*...
SADITY P!!!!!! Whew...ok it's her touching me…I'm cool with that
Her hair smells good…the frying chicken smell hasn't reached the back of the event…yet
Nice lil vibe happening in here….
Okkk MICAH DIXON…flexin
It's pretty cool she comes out and supports…love her
I feel like I'm at an underground industry reuinion
WHOA! Rob Roa is about to perform! He's a dope performer
I take that back…he's a dope ENTERTAINER
He would shut a college campus downnnnnnnnn
OOOOHHHHHHH where did he go?!
OH there he is ! He just jumped off the stage into the crowd!
Uhhhh Ohhhh…some of these people are acting "to cool"…they need to loosen up!
Welp…that was a fun performance
OMG! Rob Roa is in my face! AWESOME!
"REHAB WITH JOHNNY"…ruined my sobriety…damn it
After about 2 hours into the PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 event I had finally started to warm up. I had made my way from the carpeted stage, past the frying chicken, circled the room, applied more lip gloss in the bathroom, and after an abundance of hugs, "heyyyyyyyyy's", and the occasional dap (*ummm can I get more dap…I love giving and receiving dap..it's like a cool handshake…plz and thanks) I was growing impatient while waiting for the main event. KICKAGIRL and MZ LEE LEE joined me in our usual posse circle. I scanned the room looking for any signs of the main attractions REF and SHU. Unsuccessful with my search I decided to head over to the "bar". Well it wasn't an actual bar, but hell…$3 shots made it a great bar!
Ummm excuse me is this the line for drinks?
Damnnnn $3 shots….that's freakin awesome
Wait….ummmmmm did she just tell me there's no hennessy
Mannnnn I guess I'll drink the demon juice ( it unleashes the beast)
5 shots of 1800 plz...
If this lil lady microwaves that lil plastic black bowl 1 mo time to heat up the bbq sauce ….
After grabbing my handful of shots and attempting to make my way back to my posse circle by the Dj booth I noticed REF!!!! He was sitting in a dark corner…yes in a chair…probably the only chair in the event. He looked like he was trying to get his mind right…he was blank faced. He looked like he was ready to destroy someones ego. I walked up to him and offered him my warmest salutations. I even passed him the extra shot I had (*I was going easy on the devil juice, and still bummed out about the henny). REF kindly declined, and I even felt like an a*s offering him the the tiny stiro- foam cup. I mean come onnnnnn…this was a man who came to battle! He wasn't trying to get geeked before his possible victory. I had to give it to the guy….he seemed a little nervous, but at that moment all seemed well.
Awwwww REF is acting like a wallflower….
I can feel this 1800 kicking in
I WANT MY HENNY
I guess now is not the time to ask if someone can put my hoodie in their car
Nobody is tryna stand outside and knock on the door til their knuckles bleed to get back in
S/o to MzCrazyTee pushin her t's…she's so colorful
GO BEST FRAN…THAT'S HER BEST FRAN
Damnnnnn what time is it
APHINITI's new sexy makeover is theeee TRUTH
Wait…there's more performances…..ummm ok
I'll shoot some more flicks
GOOD VIBES
After I shot a few more pics I finally noticed SHUICIDE HOLLA!!! There he was, in all of his SHUICIDE GLORY. Dope kicks, fly jacket with the fur around the hood, and a face of stone…he looked ready for victory. He was just outside the Dj booth where Dj Ryan Wolf was spinning. Sadity P. was on her tippy toes in front of him…possibly giving some kind of friendly pep talk. I was excited for SHU. I mean…here this guy was…at a local event, when he didn't need or have to be. He has a hit song, he's moments away from going Viral (*he reminds us everyday)with "HIT DEM FOLKS", and he still came out to support and participate. That's 1 thing about SHUICIDE HOLLA…he comes off as arrogant or cocky, but that dude is at most of the events…front and center, and that's real. Finally locating the PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 competitors , I was sure the event was moments away from starting.I was excited for both competitors.
Hold up….ohhhh Rich Thawtz and TIMELESS are about to battle
Hell yeah… now I really wanna see this
Rich Thawtz looks like he does chin ups before a battle
Damnnnn his girlfriend always looks fly and sexy
HA! He's really animated
Damnnnnnn TIMELESS….why are you all in his face lol
Wait a sec…TIMELESS did you just make a reference to his lisp...
This is a good battle
I dunno…..whew (*fans self)
79th Celebrity is a fool behind his camera
This just took a turn
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Uhhhhhhh ohhhhhhhhh Vanidee Starr is scolding the crowd again
I wish everyone would be quiet….we bout to be in trouble again if we keep talking
Even tho I'm grown…why did Vanidee Starr just make me feel like I need to sit in a circle on the carpet…and put my hand up
CRISS CROSS APPLESAUCE
I love a strong powerful pretty chic…Vanidee Starr
This sound system is kinda sh*tty…but hey...
Esther Fitz is so soulful….good lawd…her bodyyyyyyy
Pretty dope she flew in from ATL to perform
After announcing that TIMELESS won his battle I stayed in my position. Thinking that the main event was about to happen. Even though it didn't I wasn't disappointed because APHINITI started to perform! Mannnnn she has literally saved a lot of events. She manages to bring back the momentum , and resuscitate the crowd. Her hair looked great, her body was in shape, and it's always enjoyable watching people ,watch her perform for the first time.
Wow this is a diverse crowd...
Her Go-PRO on her mic is soooooooo genius!
I want a Go-Pro
Awwwww I think every chic wants a TRUMP in her life
He's on the sideline looking like a proud friend, like yeahhhhhh "WE DOPE"
Their team is solid…no new friends..no new friends (*Drake voice)
I see LADY MEATRICE!
I respect her…they throw blows at her….but she always walks with her head held high
She's so beautifully dark and fearless
Heyyyyy D.Lorand
Ohhhhhhh I know D. Lorand's leather jacket he's wearing is legit
It smells so leathery
After APHINITI's performance I went to check on DJ Ryan Wolf…3 hours into the event and I was trying to see what was up with the line up. He told me he was parched so I made my way back towards the frying chicken bar. To my surprise when I reached the window…I saw HENNESSY being poured!
Are you kidding me!
Where did this come from?
Ughhhh I can't mix Devil Juice with Hen
Ohhhh heyyyyy Crazy 8
Wait a sec…Big Heff you're outty
But we rode UBER together
Damnnnnn it 12am already!
I can't stand in this line any longer
I have failed Dj Ryan Wolf …oops
The next battle was being set up….nooooo…not REF vs SHU. I realized that the PREMEDITATED MURDER 3 event wasn't going to be happening in the next few minutes. I had to bounce. When I left…SHUICIDE HOLLA was standing off to the side of the stage by the door that read "knock". The crowd had started to thin out. The powerful frying chicken smell, was slowly transitioning into the "time to change the grease, it's starting to burn" smell. I exited out of the front door into the darkness of night. The whole ride home I felt somewhat guilty….I had really wanted to see the battle. This year I promised myself I would listen to my gut more often, and when I woke up the next day to hella social media notifications…I was like "OMG my gut was right"!.
Now let's make this clear…when I left…SHU was ready to jump on stage at any moment, and I assumed that REF was still in his dark corner against the wall where I had last seen him. I can't say what happened after I left. But….here is REF's explanation. I will admit... I was bummed out...this would have been an EPIC battle. Yes yes yesssss ...we can go on youtube and see the rounds…that were suppose to happen. That's not as intense, nor as exciting as seeing 2 people battling face to face in that exact moment. That's what a battle is all about, that intense moment. I'm still satisfied with seeing old and new friends all come together. The performances were dope. The event was secure and I felt safe. We can't control the out come of things…but….ummmm yeah! See you at the PREMEDITATED MURDER 4! XOXO
Okkkk Sooooo wait a sec...
The battle never happened
REF went to get water and snacks
I knew that frying chicken bar should have had some damn chips
I wonder what happened on his trip to get snacks
I love reading this explanation out loud
Damnnnnnn SHU was ready
People paid a lot ….
REF probably had that fire for real
I'm glad nobody is super pissed
Awwwwwwww REF didn't look like he was thirsty when I saw him
Well…this is awkward
I feel better….trusting the vibes
I think everyone had good intentions….
Let me go on and check out these "battle rounds" on youtube
Ummmmm does anyone have the links….
XOXO
