Jaspects, Janelle Monae, Proton equal ‘Perfect Attendance’

YOUNG, BLACK AND WEIRD: Hollyweerd rocks the Drunken Unicorn.
(Photos by Hannibal M.)
“We on some black hipster shit in here!” announced Wil May, host for the hip-hop showcase “Perfect Attendance.” Yes, it’s true: Atlanta’s black hipsters are back and in full force. For the past several months, they’ve been organizing concerts and parties with the fervor of punk rock bands. Rarely a week goes by without a show featuring either Proton, Gripplyaz or Hollyweerd. Typically, all three were on the Perfect Attendance lineup.
Perfect Attendance was held at the Drunken Unicorn Friday, Feb. 8. It was presented by Fadia Kader’s Come Up Kids crew, and much of the two-hour showcase featured Jaspects as both lead performer and backing band. Several of the scene’s players were either performing or were in the audience, including Battery 5, Kid Kaos and others. Perfect Attendance was just the latest of dozens of events seeking to inflate the ATL hip-hop buzz to record levels, but it was as good an opportunity as any to see what the hype was all about.
Decked in leg warmers and a fluorescent red sweater, Muffy kicked off the showcase with a poppy club-rap song, “Sweet.” It was short and cute, but the mood of the audience was ambivalent; it seemed like they were still getting warmed up.
By the next performer, Gripplyaz, everyone started to relax. Gripplyaz is the thug among the ATL hipsters, the equivalent of Clipse for the backpackers. He’s the type of dude who will rip off his T-shirt and flex his pectorals to the girls’ delight. He only rapped two songs, but by the second, “Y’all Already Know,” dudes were chanting along with him and jumping up on stage.
Proton may have been the best surprise , however. I’ve seen the duo perform several times, but never with so much energy and enthusiasm. Thomas and Quality looked tight and composed on stage, and rapped four cuts from their mixtape, Girls and Ghetto Shit, with clear, sharp voices.
After Proton’s impressive performance, Hollyweerd seemed like a letdown. The quartet looked like a work in progress. Its members jumped in on each other’s rhymes, tried to devise vocal routines on the spot, and generally looked out of sync. But they managed an inspiring ending with their local hit, “Weirdo.” Most in the crowd seemed familiar with the chorus — “Have you ever made love to a weirdo” — and Jaye Price (who also plays with Jaspects) closed the sing-along with a nice saxophone solo.
Jaspects took the stage next, but much of the crowd headed to the MJQ room, where Rasta Root’s Face Off Fridays was in full swing. They missed out: Jaspects was on fire. The ensemble played a crisp and clean mix of funk, jazz and hip-hop breaks, including a “jazzstrumental” version of Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy.” Although it would have been nice to hear the group play some straight-ahead jazz, too, the music still sounded superlively.
After 15 minutes, Jaspects brought Janelle Monae to the stage, and she absolutely killed it. She seemingly resurrected the spirit of Billie Holiday as she and Jaspects performed “Peachtree Blues,” and then blazed through the ghetto opera “Sincerely, Jane.” Dancing in time to the music and making sharp, angular movements, Monae was a stunner. Even though she only sang two songs, it felt like she had given the audience a full-fledged concert.
Monae is an unbelievable talent, but difficult to categorize. She’s neither a neo-soul songbird nor a faddish electro diva. While I’m happy she allegedly signed with Bad Boy — which, for the record, has not been officially confirmed — I’m afraid P. Diddy won’t know what to do with her, and she won’t get the audience she deserves. Here’s hoping he doesn’t fuck up her career.
Jaspects continued to play and invite guests on stage for another half hour, but when Monae finished the show was effectively over. As I made my way to MJQ and Face Off Fridays, I caught a glimpse of R&B singer Scar heading to the microphone. He said, “Damn, why did you have to put me on after Janelle Monae?”

I personally think that everyone did an amazing job. This is the first time I got to see Hollyweerd myself since they always had shows while i was out of town… but in their defense I think their energy was on point and overall for a group thats only been together for 3 months.. they did the damn thing.. can they get more comfortable with one another on stage.. of course.. but that comes in time..
as for the show ending when Jane did her set… I disagree.. SCAR murked that shit.. and people have been waiting for him for a long time to do those songs that he covered and PROTON did well with the Jaspects considering they learned their songs in less than 24 hrs :) and for these artist to go on after Jane is very respectable..
Overall.. im proud of everyone.. from Grip to Muffy ,.. to Will May.. to Scar.. to Hollyweerd.. and of-course naturally Proton and Jaspects..
Kudos to Mosi for writing this piece.. and I hope these artist dont read this article and get discouraged… he is one of the few journalist that tell it like it is.. and all you can do is take his observation and better yourself… and atleast someone in our homebase is taking notice of this bubbling music scene
February 13th, 2008 at 1:36 pm
hey-a! we’re taking notice too! love janelle - wish we could have her on the cover of southeast performer every month =)

What’s the difference between a “black hipster” and a “hipster”?… Ignorance. You fucking niggers! If anything, we should make a sub-title for “white hipsters” because black people are the original “cool kids”. African Americans have dictated popular culture for centuries through innovations in music, fashion, art, design, and other forms of entertainment. I really loathe that term…”black hipster”… because saying “black hipster” is like calling skater culture “skurban” or calling every music collaboration a “mash up”. It’s just some bullshit that RICH SUIT & TIE motherfuckers make up because they don’t understand youth and urban sub-cultures. Fuck SUITS & TIES. Ultimately it is born from ignorance. It’s like calling a white person who “acts” black a “whigger”. Trust me… no white person wants to be a nigger… white people hate niggers. I hate them too. So, fuck titles.
Finally, Atlanta culture is too unique for titles at this stage. We are slowly developing our own “cool” because we all come from all different types of cool. So just keep it cool, you fucking hipster!
February 13th, 2008 at 8:16 pm
I dare you to call me a “black hipster”…
February 13th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
I hate the adjectives attached to the word hipster…
Are Klever, Preston, Caleb White Hipsters?
What’s Sumner? A Brazilian Hipster
What’s Fadia? A Middle Eastern Hipster
What’s Ree? A Light Skinded Hipster
What’s Al? A Phillipino Hipster
What’s Black Socialite? A Gay Hipster
What’s Negashi? A Supreeme Hipster
What’s Tuki? A Weerdo Hipster
What’s Barbie Bang Bang? A Sexy Hot Bangin’ Ass Hipster
What’s Mosi? …
All these people have one thing in common… they are the KEEPERS OF COOL… therefore they know what’s hip… thus they are HIPSTERS… FUCK TITLES and FUCK YOU! Just be cool and stop thinking so much about shit…
February 13th, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Stop claiming stuff…
and just do stuff…
February 13th, 2008 at 10:14 pm
thank you……and come see hollyweerd and grip @ django……….and writer, blogger,opinion, come see the show………i PICKED a SPECIAL song for you to HEAR ………THANKS fadia……….. IAN keep that SHIT UP IM BEHIND YOU 10000000000000000000000% what ever that number is im right behind it
February 13th, 2008 at 11:48 pm
Ian, I have a major problem with your usage of the n-word. If you’re critical of the term that Wil May used, fine, your criticism is duly noted. But please keep it civil. Take the flame wars somewhere else.
February 14th, 2008 at 1:11 am
I guess the real battle hear folks is… Swag vs. Talent, and can you tell which is which.
Like a good friend always tells me “Let the fans decide.”… I say “F@*& them.”
Frankly, some of what we saw that night was good, and some was pretty bad.
Pretty Bad: Muffy… Can we say “cackle cackle?” She was unprepared and off key. Plus she was singing karoke! She may be new, but when you bomb… you bomb.(Swag)
Mediocre: Hollyweerd… Why are so many people on stage?if Swag sold records, you guys would be golden.(Swag)
Good: Grip, Proton, Jaspects, J. Monae, and Scar… All had well executed live performances, and have all paid theirs dues. Their experience showed. Now that’s how its done. (Talent)
Big Ups to Fadia Kader - She’s the only person who could bring this line up together for one night.
Also - Ian’s no hipster!! I can attest. He would never be caught wearing his pants… hipster tight!!… All NY style.
“Turn TO each other, not On each other.”
Give Thanks

My bad Tarik.. i’ll do better Next time.. HATER! Opps did dat slip Out.. I meant.. i respect your opinion.. I’ll work harder for next time..
Muffy
loves Yu
February 14th, 2008 at 11:10 am
Muffy dont trip.
I kept the gloves on. Besides, everybody’s a critic.
I aint gonna lie to your face and say you rocked when you didn’t.
Respect me being honest, and do not kid yourself.
Your new to ATL music, and still got a lot to prove onstage.
We dont know you personally, otherwise, I’d have called and told you, but I think you have potential and we want you to do better next time, and that’s why I wrote this comment.
Others around you may not keep it 100 with you, but I have no reason to lie, and am only echoing popular sentiment of the audience.
Everybody has a bad night, just make sure they are infrequent.
Practice harder…. than you Play.
February 14th, 2008 at 11:16 am
… Think of it as motivation to “blow our minds” the next time we see you perform.
Give Thanks
February 14th, 2008 at 5:55 pm
oh brotha you are a critic……………com to django TONIGHT and check the show
we are missing two of the members but i assure you that i BUST
February 14th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Tuki… please stand back.
I hope the two tonight are yourself and Dreamer, b/c that’s all the people want to see anyway. Buddy on the sax is cool too.
But no, I’m not a Hollyweerd fan.
You can’t win Us all.
Ya’ll got some good production, but your lyrics really couldn’t be heard very well that night.
All in All, go hard Tuki, I’m not mad at ya. Rock on.
February 14th, 2008 at 7:49 pm
… my 2 cent$ are given, get over it, now peace out. I’m gone!
Give Thanks
February 15th, 2008 at 3:09 am
Tarik, I think it’s dope that you are ballsy enough to extend your constructive criticism. I think Hollyweerd and Muffy should take it as personal challenges to rock extra hard to win Tarik and the other like minded people over.
It was my first time seeing Muffy perform solo. I thought the “girl pop” theme was dope. It’s dope to see ladies step up and rock. Tarik, I think her performance may have seem a little rushed or unprepared because the show was running like 45 minutes late, and she was kinda forced on the stage. I don’t know why the show was running late… maybe CPT… but props to her for getting the show started with some dope high energy.
I think Dreamer and Proton are some of the dopest live performers that Atlanta has. And I think Tuki is dope in his own right. I loved how he grabbed three mics during his verse on “Weerdo”. Tarik, I think swag goes a long way these days. I mean, look what it did for Kanye West. Tuki seems to have swag and talent, maybe it’s just not being presented the best way. {{{{{SIDENOTE: Maybe the 4 emcees in Hollyweerd shot stop the music during their set and spit some acapella shit to show skills. I’ll give you that for free.}}}}}
February 15th, 2008 at 3:13 am
But yo, respect Tarik as a critic, because too many muh’fuckas on this scene are scared to talk. Cats need to man up and speak up, because when we don’t… three year old girls end up screaming “Superman That Ho!”
And after you man up and speak up… follow up. I respect Tarik for speaking his mind. I pride myself as a critic, and I know cats respect me for that.
February 15th, 2008 at 3:22 am
All in all, I think there are two problems with this “scene”. And I know Tarik will agree with me.
1. We see the same shows and performances a lot. I’m not hating… I respect good marketing. And ultimately artists just want to be seen and heard. BUT, there are madd other dope music groups in Atlanta. And if you don’t believe me, just have a conversation with Bem Joiner. We need to start showcasing more dope local talent in the A. BUT, it’s not just the promoters’ and event planners’ faults. The “scene” needs to support by SHOWING UP and PAYING TO GET IN. These shows cost money. Niggas gotta eat. Mama needs a new pair of shoes. And starving artists are not a good look. I know we are all celebrities, but damn SUPPORT. That goes double for all you “do nothing” muh’fuckas on the “scene” who are just riding the wave and just want to know somebody. If you are not empowering and/or improving this “scene”, then you need to pay me, Fadia, Ree, Taj and any other event producer to get into the show.
2. We need to take back media in every form… starting with print and internet, because it’s the easiest and cheapest to access. I’m not satisfied with the current coverage of the new Atlanta music scene. Creative Loafing is slipping, but it’s all we got. The people who are orchestrating this movement need to also document it… or else it won’t be authentic.
February 15th, 2008 at 3:24 am
And finally… Mosi… I say “nigger” like Paul Mooney… it ain’t careless or reckless… it’s strategic. I feel comfortable using that word to describe certain people… the same way I use cracker and any other racial slur. And I wish someone would try to censor me. Fall back.
February 15th, 2008 at 3:25 am
Oh yeah, that new Kanye West video is dope.
February 15th, 2008 at 3:26 am
RESPECT to Creative Loafing for allowing Ree to blog in CribNotes… you need more insiders on the payroll…
February 15th, 2008 at 10:21 am
I find it ironic that someone who calls out Wil May for using the word “black hipster” would feel “comfortable” using racial slurs and other stereotypes. But then again, that’s me.
February 15th, 2008 at 12:03 pm
I’m not calling out Will May… I’m calling out the term “black hipster”… I think it’s wack. If Will wants to ride for that term… then more power to him. But I think it’s wack.
As far as my use of the word “nigger”… it just helps me communicate more effectively.
Spread love it’s the Brooklyn way.
February 15th, 2008 at 12:52 pm
Thanks for all your comments, Ian — especially your critique of we the critics here at CL. If anything, you’re helping Creative Loafing to cover the scene that much better by using cribnotes to spark conversation. Speaking of which, Ree blogs pro bono right now. We try to keep things ethical ’round here. Let me know if you’re interested, too.
But I do have one sincere question for you: If you think Creative Loafing is slipping now, when, in your opinion, was the paper on top of things among your scene?
February 15th, 2008 at 7:37 pm
So one of my fave blogs are by my friends Mihal and Dushane in NYC ..
http://snapsanddaps.blogspot.com/2008/01/hipsters-versus-scenesters.html
and I thought it would be interesting to get the preceptive of what a “Hipster” is in the eyes of non-Atlantan’s.. maybe some folks will understand it a little bit more..maybe not.. but I liked their observation and wanting to share it…
Now as to why the show started 45 minutes late.. well our opening act was M.I.A until 1210 am.. I dont do CPT time.. and normally I’m very anal about running things on time.. but I feel like this artist deserved to showcase their talent and didn’t want to take that platform away from them…
Oh.. and I have some stuff to say about Ian’s hipster comments.. which I fully understand his frustrations… but Im gonna have to do it tomorrow…lol.. :) about to go have dindin
February 15th, 2008 at 11:20 pm
Rodney… first things first, I don’t even think this “scene” is a “scene”… so I can’t claim it. I think right now we have a bunch of seeds and a few Johnny Appleseeds out there who are traveling through Atlanta planting apple trees… maybe peach trees… or whatever. These seeds have the potential to become scenes, but they are not yet… To me the most dominant seeds are the Hipster Dance Movement (Caleb & Preston), Hollywood Hip Hop Movement (Fadia & others) and the Crew Represent Represent Movement (Taj & others)… These movements/seeds overlap and have great potential because they represent all the cool influences that influence the influencers and trickle down to the masses..
REWIND…
Atlanta represents all the cool influences that influence the influencers and trickle down to the masses….
LISTEN CLEAR…
Atlanta will be so dope in a minute because it will embody all the dope shit from LA, NYC, CHI, Dubai, Seattle and Dothan, AL… Muh’fuckas just need to keep keeping it FRESH… and support eachother’s FRESHNESS… Check it… Madd people talk shit about Caleb behind his back, but they are still thirst to work with him… because he is pushing. Same with Fadia… Ree… Taj… and all the other victims of the southern mentality hate. These “Keepers of Cool” along with others are really making ATL worth the stay… because they push one way or another… I don’t agree with or like everything everyone of these cats do… but I do respect that they are doing… and doers make shit happen… and doers take seeds and make them into scenes… Rodney watch the seeds and convince CL to help with the growth…
Here’s a freebie… These movements/seeds also show the interrelation between hipster sub-culture and hip hop culture… almost ying and yang, where hispters take pieces of hip hop culture and remix them… and then hip hoppers take the hipster remixes and make it more street/hood.. to me it’s Jim Jones + A Trak + Kanye West + Justice = What’s Next?…
But to answer your question… Creative Loafing never had their finger on everything urban, but it’s supposed to. The periodical seems to be skewed white more times than not… and that’s not just me wanting my 40 acres and a mule… And if it’s not skewed white… it’s skewed rock… or skewed artsy fartsy… or skewed alternative… It needs to be skewed ATLANTA… all ciity… all in. And that means all of US.

FYI
I wasn’t speaking of ppl or race when I said BLACK HIPSTER SHIT. I would agree with ian’s first comments if i was. the different hipster thing was mad funny. I was speaking of a specific genre/movement/brand that is taking place now, not just in the ATL either.
I am very aware that hipster was a term given to “cool” white ppl and the term black hipster is somewhat redundant and ironic from a definitive sense (which is part of the reason i said it). but as time goes on words change meanings and definitions (eg black and hipster) and putting together two already loaded words complicates the matter more so.
i’m gonna write on this more later in another medium and i wouldve explained that night but it wouldve turned in to an intellectual convo which i’m down for but i had to feel out the crowd. it was 70/30 (intellectuals/other) and I didnt want to alienate nobody.
good debate tho
WE ON SOME BLACK INTELLECTUAL SHIT!!!!
February 21st, 2008 at 4:48 pm
LOL at all this “scene” and “hipsters” talk. All this rhetoric about it and what it is/isn’t, just takes away from the “cool”. Once you start labeling yourselves it becomes corny. Like little kids naming a club. Those words are what the mainstream used to describe you all. It’s cool to embrace the terms, but don’t go yelling it out from the mountain tops, makes it look like you’re trying too hard.
I went to the show and enjoyed it all from the most part. And like others said, Proton killed it, Gripp killed it, Janelle KILLED it, and Scar was pretty good too.
My only criticisms–since we’re all critics is: I wasn’t feeling Hollyweerd too much. Wayyy too many dudes on stage holding a mic. It just came across as messy. Muffy–she was pretty good, the song was cute, not enough to completely win over anyone, but it was only one song. So maybe if she performed longer we could get a better idea of who she is and her vibe. I did hate the song she did with Proton–I think that’s what ol’ dude was talking about was “off key”, not to mention the song just ain’t hot. But that’s not her fault. Last, the Jaspects–GREAT concept. I just felt like the sound could have been a little better. 4 brass instruments blaring directly over their own mics was a bit much. It just sound harsh to the ears at times. It’s okay to back away from the mics some guys–we will still here you!
Over all, I wouldn’t say it was 10 bucks wasted. Pretty enjoyable.

my dude ianFORD keeps it 100%. I rocks w/ da 1981 Gold Standard youngin. He makes an EXTREMELY valid, yet forgotten point. I’ll speak on Crew Love. every Crew Love that I do EASILY can run me into the thousands (each Crew Love has its own limited edition commemorative shirt, poster, DVD and mix CD). Crew Love is a benefit for M.O.B.B.- the non- profit that I head that puts in real work in the impoverished communties, as well as kick back money for political prisoners’ campaigns. Whoever don’t help push Crew Love has no right to ask me about a fucking list. If I relyed solely on the door to recoup, I may as well shoot myself in all of my limbs because no body wanna pay. Last Crew Love was $5 before 12. I had 73 texts from people asking me were they good at the door. As I read the 72nd text, I looked up to see Fadia coming in the door with her wallet out to pay. Fadia is always on my list. But she SUPPORTS (PAYS) everytime.
I know I am on the list at every Caleb, Ian, Fadia, Ree and a few other people’s events, but guess what- if I bring my folks through with me- and I don’t try and get them in free. If I come dolo- I throw at least $5 in the pot. You gotta support (PAY). You gotta be at these shows, cuz when you throw your joint, people remember that you didn’t support their efforts.
Case in point- example- as cool as I am with Chilly- O, he always pays to get in Crew Love and I always pay for my shirts. He sends out texts about my shows, and I wear his shirts often- even when I’m at my kids PTA meetings. He’s never tried to get in free, and I’ve never tried to get a free shirt. Why? Support. This “scene” is a network. For me, I build and maintain real relationships that not only benefit all parties involved on a business level, but on a personal level.
I have a reputation of genuity. Same with Fadia, Ree and Ian, cuz people know we not only throw parties, but we support what others are doing. The “scene” has been saturated with flavor of the month type mofo’s, seeking to take Hannibal and Vinnet pics with “key” people like “Battery 5″ for their MySpace page, just on some show off ish. And we spot people like that from a mile away. That’s who is fucking up the community that the “scene” kinda is, and kinda can become.
check it- labels suck. just do u, and go hard in the paint 4 whatever u do. What the hell is a hipster?? I can’t find it in my Webster’s dictionary.
real talk, im NOT a fan of everyone who performed, but im confident they all gave 100%. and I commend them for that because it was crowded and hot as hell in the Drunken that night. Janelle was headbanging so hard she knocked her signature coif straght off the top of her head.
Hollyweerd, Jaspects, Proton, Gripplyaz equate quality in my book. I have all of their material- I paid 4 most of their music- not because im their friend (cuz i got some friends who do music but I think they suck lol), but because I’m a real fan. Last week, I paid $15 to see Jaspects. I don’t know not a one member of Jaspects, but I’ve bought all their music. why? Quality.
and Tuki can bust- trust me. don’t let the bow tie fool u. Dreamer & Proton’s album? the truth. Jaspects?? My momz bought two copies. Gripp?? He signs autographs for my kidz. What do they all have in common? Genuity. Up and coming artists should take notes.
back to the point– on some real shit tho, labels are for people who don’t know what it is they’re witnessing. some shit u just can’t paste a label on, cuz its 2 slick. I dunno about the rest of u, but what I witnessed that night was pure passion.
I’m aware there are haters everywhere we go, but truth be told, I don’t pay attention anymore. Hate comes the most when you’re doing something right. Seriously, get your mid right. Hating is slave mentality, crabs in a barrel type shit. It’s not progressive, and its hella corny.
fin,
taj anwar- conscious hipster (?)

“After Proton’s impressive performance, Hollyweerd seemed like a letdown. The quartet looked like a work in progress. Its members jumped in on each other’s rhymes, tried to devise vocal routines on the spot, and generally looked out of sync. But they managed an inspiring ending with their local hit, “Weirdo.†Most in the crowd seemed familiar with the chorus — “Have you ever made love to a weirdo†— and Jaye Price (who also plays with Jaspects) closed the sing-along with a nice saxophone solo.”
TWO MONTHS LATER, THEY ARE STILL A WORK IN PROGRESS! HONESTLY A “COON” SHOW IS BETTER THAN SEEING THESE CLOWNS ON STAGE , WITH THEIR BACKPACKS, AND RAVE INSPIRED THREADS. IF THIS IS THE NEW WAVE OF ATLANTA MUSIC, WE SHOULD ALL RESORT BACK TO SOULJAH BOY, AT LEAST HE WAS ORIGINAL, ENTERTAINING, AND DIDN’T CLAIM TO BE ANYTHING BUT A RING TONE ARTIST AS THIS GROUP IS.
I DIDNT GO TO THIS SHOW, BUT I WENT TO COMPOUND, AND FOR IT TO BE ON A LARGER SCALE THAN THE TYPICAL HOLES IN THE WALL THAT THESE ARTIST PERFORM IN, YOU WOULD THINK A SHOW BASED AROUND “HOLLY WEERD” WOULD BE REHERASED AND PERFECTED. OTHER ACTS SUCH AS GRIPPLYEZ,SEAN FALYON, PROTON, AND YELAWOLF STOLE THEIR OWN SHOW. I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO JASPECTS, BUT BARLEY MADE IT THROUGH MUFFY SET, WITH HER FAKE BLACK GWEN STEFANI ACT, AND COULD HARDLY WAIT TO WALK OUT TWO SONGS INTO HOLLY WEERDS SET.
TSK TSK TSK, AND THIS IS WHAT ATLANTA IS GETTING ATTENTION FOR? AT BEST A COON SHOW?
April 24th, 2008 at 10:48 pm
Yep
