"The difference between a Supaemcee and simply an accomplished lyricist"

 

"10/10... [Shad] is a more than worthy candidate to lead hip-hop into the future"

 

"Shad’s rhythm is as tight as a metronome. He may be an amorous dreamer who still lives with his parents, but there is nothing juvenile about his lyrics and delivery. The Old Prince may not be that old yet, but he already sounds like he has perfected his art."

 

"Shad shows that he certainly earns all of the praise, critical acclaim, awards, and hype that he has garnered through this magnificent LP."

 

"Shad is Hip Hop Royalty"

 

"5N's ... one of the wittiest lyricists in hiphop"

Day 2 - San Francisco, CA

Day 2 was a beautiful thing!

We started off with the standard morning routine:

the show went over reallllllly well today! we were set up on Pier 30/32...


our stage was facing the water... dope view!

after the set, we met up with my homies Chiraag and Sanjay.

they took us to a realllly dope mexcian joint.

Prawn Tacos and fresh Jamaica Agua Fresca. Whaddap Siria!!

We walked over to Dolores Park to eat them goods - Dolores Park was RAMMMMED!

Sanjay had to take off after the park... which is too bad, because he missed one epic adventure. Chiraag took us over the Golden Gate Bridge (had to holler at Bob Saget quickfast) and into a lil area called Marin. It was gorgeous. Check the pics:





San Fran... you did us so well.  Chiraag and Sanjay, thanks for showing us your beautiful city.  See you soon.

Much Music: Shad on Michael Jackson's Passing

Much Music got in touch with Shad, to get his take on Michael's passing. Check it out here.

We just wrapped up our first official day on Warped Tour!  The set went over really well.  I'm gonna try to get some footage posted in the AM.  We've got an hour to relax before we hit our bunks and our bus heads out to SF.

*See you tomorrow Chiraag!

mj day

sad party about MJ. we were sitting in a van for the most part of the day, with absolutely no media around us... we kept getting text msgs and calls from our friends and family. right now "rock with you" is spinning in my head and i can't think of anything else to write about this situation.

so..

we actually had a really relaxed day today. we woke at 7:30am in Laguna Beach. Shad wrote a lil something, and then shared once we were just about to head out:

fun.

packed and ready to bounce:

 

off to Pomona for rehearsal day, and getting into the swing of things.

welcome to warped tour!
