"Out For Fame Finals"
The jam was pretty dope. There were a few disappointments and all, but the battles still went pretty well. I'm not gonna go through that whole "DSD1 and Motion Disorders got robbed" issue because it's already been discussed all over FSS forum. Another disappointment was the Lost Tribe and HaviKORO issue, which was a BIG disappointment to mainly us "LA people" because we all wanted to see Lost Tribe battle and take it. But I guess everyone already know the whole story behind this. If not, heres a quick summary: it was Lost Tribe vs. Alien Squad/Grimeez. Josh (Lost Tribe) started off the battle and busted his set. Lil John (HaviKORO) stood up during the battle and was calling Josh a biter for biting his tops(?). Then things got outta hand and a punch was thrown. The battle stopped. Securities acting like bitches. Lil John got to stay and I heard Lost Tribe weren't allowed back inside. Cros called the forfeit. And that was that.
Props to Ground Zeroh for winning this year's Out For Fame. They came through. Props to HaviKORO for winning 2nd this year. I personally have to give DSD1 and Motion Disorders much props because I thought they did really good and should deserve the props. Also, gotta give props to the other crews as well: Massive Monkees, Alien Squad/Grimeez, and Breaks Cru.
