Every year there's this little summer festival more or less in my backyard (i think it's 500 meters from my home)... but every year i manage to miss it somehow, but not this year. I saw the tents and heard the music today from my home. Online I checked the program and it seemed that a very steady lineup of Dutch rappers would perform this evening, so I went there and enjoyed the show!
How convenient, after the last performance I was home in five minutes!
Complete set here.

Kaleidoscopic World
So many faces, so many races
Different voices, different choices
Some are mad, while others laugh
Some live alone with no better half
Others grieve while others curse
And others mourn behind a big black hearse
Some are pure and some half-bred
Some are sober and some are wasted
Some are rich because of fate and
Some are poor with no food on their plate
Some stand out while others blend
Some are fat and stout while some are thin
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world
Some are great and some are few
Others lie while some tell the truth
Some say poems and some do sing
Others sing through their guitar strings
Some know it all while some act dumb
Let the bassline strum to the bang of the drum
Some can swim while some will sink
And some will find their minds and think
Others walk while others run
You can't talk peace and have a gun
Some are hurt and start to cry
Don't ask me how don't ask me why
Some are friends and some are foes
Some have some while some have most
Every color and every hue
Is represented by me and you
Take a slide in the slope
Take a look in the kaleidoscope
Spinnin' round, make it twirl
In this kaleidoscope world

People said Rap music wouldn’t last and was just a fad. I was one of those who thought it was going to be around for a long time. I never thought it would have taken over the music world the way it did. I still listen to Rap music as a 37 year old, mostly the late 80’s early 90’s. I think those were the best years for Rap music but that’s just my opinion. Rap music had more talent when it was more of an underground art form. I was shocked I heard a Old School Rap group as a background beat in a kids show (I think it was the Sprout channel playing A tribe Called Quest during birthday wishes).
I remember taking the train from a suburb of Boston into Downtown Crossing and getting the newest tape almost every Tuesday. It’s about a 40 minute trip in so you could rock last weeks tape till you picked up the latest release to rock it on the way home. After a few weeks of heading into the city you had enough material to make a mix tape of all the top joints. You would be in school trading these tapes to listen to while you were in school.
I must say all that is HISTORY with the digital age. It’s such a sad thing that kids don’t get to flip through vinyl, tape or even cd’s. I can’t begin to tell you how many things I purchased while I flipped through the racks of music, some good some bad. You would make it a half day thing running from record store to record store to find something because not all stores had extensive Rap selections. If you wanted some to cheap out you could go to the local used music store and take a lot of chances on music for short money.
This is a two part history picture. First is the brief history of the early days of Rap music and the other is the fact that the cassette tape is "history" as afr as a source of music entertainment.
