Thanks to Doug's late night message, I did set my DVR and caught Wiz Khalifa's performance from Letterman last night. He performed the song "Roll Up." Here's the video:
Pretty good performance. The worst part though is that DJ Bonics is getting this much attention. There was a time when Wiz Khalifa wasn't good enough for DJ Bonics, he of the immense fame that comes from hosting a shitty radio show and spinning live at Pittsburgh's hottest nightclub, The Matrix. Funny how things change. Someone needs to tell the DJ Bonics story in the comments. Did you know that he recently had a heart attack?
It was a typical Matrix Black out Friday with 50 cent drinks. A young Wiz had just put out his second mix tape and was getting both local and some national attention. I believe that he was scheduled to open for Nas at a Pitt event. We were in the top 40 room and it was a request night. I approached DJ Bonics and requested a Wiz song, his response, "I don't play that local sh*t. He is no good, maybe if he ever makes it big I'll give him some play." I guess Wiz is good enough for you now that he is making you some money.
ReplyDeleteHaha, awesome! What a tool. I remember this happening, but didn't realize at the time that it was DJ Bonics. If you read his blog about his heart attack, he talks about having chest pains and decides to smoke a cigarette to try to get it to go away.
ReplyDeleteWhat happened to the video?
ReplyDeleteI just updated the video to a new one.
ReplyDeleteI remember bonics telling dan that. What a tool.
