...Bash, as people call the Pepsi Summerbash, is basically Chicago’s answer to 106 & Park, where top 40 rappers and singers play 15-minute sets and DJs perform ridiculous skits. It was a three-day event, but since we could only afford tickets to one night, we had to miss R. Kelly, D12, and Twista in favor of an incredibly awesome lineup featuring Ma$e, J-Kwon, Houston, Jojo, and the Ying Yang Twins. I picked Juice up at the train station around 5:30 and we gunned it straight to Taco Bell, where a group of short...
Before the curtain goes up at any concert venue around the country, the headlining act must engage in some backstage banter with local DJs, the children of corporate sponsors and whomever the Teamsters want to impress. The music industry calls this compulsory session the meet and greet, and because the spontaneity is scheduled and the patronage barely disguised, it is often the grimmest 15 minutes of any touring musician's day.

Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the performance, at least in terms of novelty, was the new DVD turntable demonstrated throughout the night. Video footage was projected onto screens behind the stage turntable, and was manipulated by the DJs (if anyone can think of something to call video-DJs that doesn’t instantly conjure up Carson Daly, insert here) in much the same way as a vinyl record. Clips of DVDs (including the cult graffiti/rap/breakdancing documentary Wild Style) were scratched back and forth, as the crowd watched in astonishment...
