Topic: Another Keith Murray thread (funny story inside)
- Nov 13, 2008 10:17pm by _DEMENCHA_
First off, I think that last night was easily one of the best hip hop shows I've ever seen. I'm not even a really a die hard Keith Murray fan like so many of the people who were there. The only song I knew by him, solo, was "The Most Beautifulist Thing In This World." And there were a few beats that were familiar from his Def Squad days, when I was into the late 90's Def Jam stuff.
But anyway, I was standing with my back to the bar last night and Keith Murray walks by and he said what's up and gave me a pound and he looks down at my shoes and points at them with both fingers and says, "Those shits...those motherfuckers are classic!"
Now, I guess I was wearing some kind of old school Nike Air Max's. I had no idea that they were any kind of a big deal. I just bought them at the Bunker for like 60 bucks because I thought they looked cool.
So I was kinda confused when Keith Murray told me that [i:115aa47b98]my[/i:115aa47b98] shit was "classic." lol
I was really confused actually. I paid it no mind and asked him if he wanted a local hip hop magazine. He says, "Yea, let's go outside and smoke a cigarette." I followed him out to the smoking patio and he was immediately swarmed by everyone out there. All these people who've been fans of him since like '94 were losing their minds, acting like little school girls and shit. lol
A couple people on the patio brought up the possibility of me doing an interview with Keith Murray on the spot. I just wanted to give him a magazine really, so he could take a piece of KC back with him.
The show started up soon after that, and the next hour or so was mind-blowing. That show was amazing. A lot of the older heads I talked to said they never thought they'd see this in KC.
The show ended and I went outside to try to hand out some more magazine's, but I really just ended up talking with people. DJ Hylanda (Heet Mob) reassured me that Keith wasn't bullshitting me about my shoes.
Then Ubi and some other people started egging me on to interview Keith Murray. Ben Swiller, who I officially met last night finally, said he had a camera/phone with a voice recorder on it and that he could record it. I said let's do it. Deep down, I knew that it wasn't a good idea. Off the top, unplanned interviews always turn out like shit for me.
We went back inside and I interviewed Keith Murray for like 30 seconds and it was really kind of a blur. I do remember that he asked if I had a business card and I said, "No." He goes, "Man, you know you're bullshittin right now, right?"
I was like no man, check it out. And I gave him a magazine. I told him it was "all Kansas City stuff." He held it up to Ben's camera and said something to the effect of "This is Keith Murray live with Demencha Magazine..."
Then I guess Ben linked up with Keith somehow to where we're going to (hopefully) conduct a more professional interview by phone later.
But yea, that's my story of last night.
