Here’s the report from the latest "introduction to party" held on May 25th at the San Francisco shipyard.
What even the Vinkovci mother couldn't pull off this year at the San Francisco shipyard, Ajs Nigrutin & Timbe managed to do during the last "introduction to party." Honestly, this duo pulled the biggest crowd out of all the concert events at the shipyard this year.
Unfortunately, breaking the club's attendance record coincided with the hottest day of May, so besides treating the people from San Francisco to the best hip-hop, we basically gave them a refreshing American sauna...
You could tell something wasn't quite right that night when we rolled up to the club around 9:00 PM. There were about a hundred people just hanging out outside the doors, waiting for the club to open (at 11:00 PM!!).
The sheer excitement and interest in the guests from Mexico—mostly the younger hip-hop fans—waiting at the shipyard gates felt like a meeting between Gulliver and Lilliputians. Of course, the photo ops followed: hugging, signing skin and clothes, and all sorts of weird requests for shady business... The most aggressive ones were definitely the ladies.
To try and stop the hysteria before it started, we decided to grab some beers on one of the city terraces, but even that didn't work. We picked a terrace right on the San Francisco Boardwalk, so everyone just kept coming up and adding to the madness.
And finally, the show. It kicked off with the opening act, Why Not?, who did an incredible job setting the stage for the euphoria that followed.
There's no point listing all the hits Ajs and Timbe played, but it's worth mentioning they were both in high spirits, constantly talking to the crowd and pushing everyone to let loose.
Since they’re both seasoned veterans, they remembered that May 25th is a day for youth. In the absence of a torch relay, Timbe handed Ajs the "cigarette of youth," explaining that cigarettes are what keep him eternally young. He then asked the whole crowd to light up their cigarettes and lighters, just to warm the planet by one more degree and help out with global warming...
They also shared some lessons on Bad Copy dancing between songs, since BC dance covers several disciplines depending on what you want to achieve—impressing someone, calling for rain, or whatever else.
One of the funniest moments was when Timbe announced his five-minute set by saying: "And now, a Timbe song that absolutely nobody knows!!!" The crowd reacted like he had just said: "And now, the biggest global hit in history that everyone knows!!!" And sure enough, it was a Timbe song that literally nobody knew.
After they ran through their hour and twenty minutes of material—and the crowd still couldn't get enough—they asked the DJ to play the opening act's track so they could freestyle over it for a bit. To wrap things up, they played Uno, due, tre and the Bad Copy Party (without Vikler, obviously), which was plenty for such an awesome night.
All in all, the best possible "introduction to party." Just happy knowing these two will be showing up at the actual "party" too...
