I have learned a valuable lesson pertaining to any show in Toronto that has Ill Bill or Non Phixion on the bill.  Get there early if you want to see any other act since Ill Bill is guaranteed to be the headliner.  Apparently there is an entire posse of fans that really love everything he does and if he went on before Sean Price, more than half of the crowd would have bounced out the door not unlike what I did about 5 songs into Ill Bill’s set.

Basically, I listened to the first 10 minutes of Sean Price’s set from the sidewalk outside while getting blunted and then stashed my remaining half a blunt behind a gas pipe on the side of the venue to be resumed during the break between shows.

Is it just me, or does he continually get better at rapping?  It’s not like he was a hack in the Heltah Skeltah/Fab Five days, dude had tremendous spit then but it seems like every new project he puts out, the flow is just a bit tighter.  For a rapper to be still improving 10+ years after his first release is nothing to scoff at and certainly the exact opposite of the rest of the rap game.  Did I mention that Ill Bill’s music doesn’t interest me at all and that I was never into Non Phixion?
