Entry: :: Platform 4 Finals Monday, June 28, 2004





Helo. Yesterday was the grand finals for Platform 4. I guess it was quite an upset. Too Phat didn't turn up. Sua kana main ah gua. I was expecting to catch them perform Alhamdulliah II (malay version) wit Ahli Fiqir. That song just blew me away for some reason. But we got our very own Triple Noize to substitute them. They were good but  the crowd jes wasn't lively enuff plus the sound was a bit wack. And they kind of lost much of thier fanbase i guess. Dunnolah.

X'Statix was a part of the guest performers. At first I was kinda hyped up about this gig coz i thought it was gonna be a really big event. But for some reason the day didn't turn up like how i pictured it. I was kinda unfocused eversince i went out the house. My mind remains unfocused even while rappin, to the point i forgot a few bars and that really sucked. Our performance was again as usual mendak and sucky. I bet it makes people wonder how the hell did Ecstatics won a rap competition? Every single gig after Hiphopfest we would be annouced as champion of rap battle bla bla bla. PLEASE LAH ENUFF ALREADY. I personally feel I suck at performin. I never had the ability to rock a crowd. I just recite rhymes. I wish I had that ability to interact and make people respond. Entahlah

Anyways i jes figured out why I was unfocused the whole day....It must have been the "Nick Berg Decapitation" video. That video where "islamic militants" cuts the head of an american named Nick Berg. For those who have no idea about this video go search the web about it or search kazaa for the video for those who have the stomach to watch it. I watched it a few days ago and i wasn't really terrified but it left my head spinning for some reason. And today before goin to platform, I showed the video to Yus and Fai. After that, I had the same headache "after effect". So did Yus. Fai watched it from far so i guess he didn't really see the gore of the video. So after watching the video, it left us wit a particular feelin which makes you uneasy and unfocused mixed wit the headache "after effect". I'm still feelin dizzy till now. But then again, I did feel that it looked faked and staged. Like it was all a setup. Here's some websites that analyzez the discrepencies of the video to prove that it's a hoax by the American government: http://www.topplerummy.org/berg/ and http://aztlan.net/berg_abu_ghraib_video.htm
Ok enuff talk bout the video. Back to platform...

Switch opened for the show and did his thang. Got a free CD from him. His single "No More Mr. Nice Guy" which was actually recorded at my place and i already have the track. But I like to collect CDs, so i got one from him. Freaky Z did a great job at hosting. Funny and entertaining as usual. Bless performance blew me away. He's damn good. Public Eyez was cool. X-statix was mendak. DJ showcase was interesting. As for the Platform finalists, I think all of them did a great job...Corrupt Ethic was nice...feelin the "indonesian"-like beat...The lil girl in G-Feminiz was the only one that impressed me in the group...Ninja Muscle was really entertaining and he did deserved to win. ..Nthrall who got second place was super ill. There's somethin bout his flow...he didn't even need to ask the crowd to get hyped up and they were all hollering at him on his chorus. That's really sumthin man. Psychalektiks was good too...Down to earth song about God...Great Job. Yadin was as usual dope but i guess it just wasn't his day. After the competiton was Trilogy and Breakforze Crew followed by Public Eyez and finally Triple Noize wit Freaky Z and Switch to end the show. Overall the show wasn't as successful as I expected but to me the rap competiton itself was the main highlight of the show.

So that was Platform 4. What's next? I think there'll be a Beats Society's Flag Day or sumthin. Don't think I'll be performin anymore anytime soon since I have to go N.S. plus I suck at performin too. I do not have wat it takes to be a "rap star". Only a chosen few has that. But I'll still continue to do wat i can while I can. I'll still perform where there is a chance to. I'll still make tracks that no one listens. Ok lor, that's it for today. Happy wanking.
