33rd OG RADIOTRON Peace In The Streets Festival

[SLO]

Last weekend my family and I hooked up with Miles aka =ml= for a very last minute ride to MacArthur Park in Los Angeles for the 33rd annual OG RADIOTRON Peace In The Streets Festival. Its a celebration of West Coast hip hop pioneers, legends, DJ's and MC's that literally broke ground and started the West Coast hip hop and breakdancing scene back in the day.

There were so many artists and DJ's in attendance, and the vibe was super positive, just one big party. Here's some captured moments from the day...



I ran into one of my friends that I haven't seen for over 8 years!


We came across The Hip Hop Trooper and hung out with him for a bit talkin shop. SUPER cool guy who took the time to take pictures with every single kid and adult that came up to him. You gotta respect that. Very humble. Here's Miles, Hip Hop Trooper and myself busting a Boomboxery pose.



My son was a little intimidated at first, so he took off his helmet to show my boy that he was an actual human Lol.


Shortly after, we strolled through the park and I met up with Kid Frost for a respectful handshake and a quick picture. OG all the way.


Also saw General Jeff of Rodney O and Joe Cooley, so I busted out my "Me and Joe" cassette that I've had since my youth and showed it to him, here's his reaction..
He signed it for me then he checked out my M90 and loved it!


Overall it was a blast! Live performances and breakdancers all day, a great day in L.A. PEACE!

Looked like a heck of an event!!!!
I'm digging that home made boombox. It looks pretty serious.
But the woofers look like a pair of boobs being they are so close together. Lol

It was a lot of fun, and so good to see all these artists that I grew up listening to just walking and talking with the people! Brought back so many good memories for me and my wife. The Hip Hop Trooper's case was LOUD! Sounded good too, it blew my M90 away Lol. I guess it does look a little "booby" but hey, I'm cool with that haha

DAAAAAANNNNGGGGG!!!

Wowser, it looks like a hive of activity with so much going on. I'm still baffled by all the hand signals/signs, what's this all about (help a fogey here!)? My hands do things like this when I get cramps after taking salt!

That is bad ass Steve. The Hip Hop Trooper is a legend! Way to represent.

Sometimes people (mostly stylish people) need to express themselves with their whole body, and not just be a stiff with their hands at their sides..

Haha, well lets see here... My friend is holding up the the "Devil Horns" (he's not satanic) or sign of the horns. I wanna say Ronnie Dio of Black Sabbath started this but don't quote me on that.

I have a habit of throwing up the peace sign, only its flipped around and sometimes with my pinky finger up at the same time which is another way to hold up a "W" meaning WEST SIDE, or WEST COAST. In the picture with Kid Frost and I, he's pointing at me, sort of a sign of respect. Kind of like telling someone "You tha man!" Although HE's the man and not me

Trust me we're not cramping up LOL, No salt was ingested, smoked, or snorted during this event

Thanks brother, we all have to plan better for next years festival, I heard that this one was the biggest turnout yet, and surprisingly, Miles, myself, and one other guy with an M70 that we met, were the only 3 people carrying a boombox. So we got a lot of fun questions and people wanted pictures

Haha, thanks James, I don't consider myself very stylish but yes its all about expressing yourself. We're just not used to being all stiff, we just let loose! And have fun.

No but Miles and I walked up and introduced ourselves, his name was Omar, really cool cat. But it was so loud that it was kinda hard to conversate with him.

Thanks bro, yea we are pretty fortunate that the whole scene out here is so big, it makes taking out our boomboxes that much more fun.

There's literally events almost every weekend out here at some club or other venue, I just can't make it to most of em because I usually work weekends. But when I do go, its a blast!

LOL, that's what made it so cool, everyone was mingling. We literally just casually walked up to Kid Frost as he stood there watching the stage with the little girl you see in the picture. He was very humble and cool as ice, hence the name "Frost". Gotta come visit Cali James, Lotta good times to be had.

Very cool Bad Boy Bill

Thanks bro!
