The show this Friday night at New York’s Irving Plaza will be live. Maybe not live in the sense where real instruments will be played, but live as in on stage and in your face. Performers from all across the country (even Canada) will have their one chance, their one mic, a live DJ spinning all original instrumentals and an amazing crowd to have the opportunity to flatter their favorite rappers. It’s time for the 5th annual Hip Hop Karaoke Championships. The remaining 12 finalists have been chosen and the tracks, which range from Big Daddy Kane (who will be at the event as one of the judges) to Madvillian/MF Doom to Juvenile, are in place for the livest performer to win the grand prize of $1,000 and title of Hip Hop Karaoke Champion.
Along with Big Daddy Kane will be famed, NYC hip hop DJ, Hot 97’s Peter Rosenberg as well as Black Moon’s own Buckshot to serve as judges for the final round, adding the pressure of classic hip hop knowledge. Rest assure, between the judges and the hip hop love, there won’t be any imitations of “Ice Ice Baby” or “U Can’t Touch This” going on here.
Today will be your last day to buy the $13 tickets without special handling fees. Go to Hip Hop Karaoke Blog for more info about the event and the performers and Live Nation to purchase tickets.
