it was so loud that he actually shoosed the crowd over the mic, which angered the drunks, and he quit playing his.

highlights of the evening for me, krug glaring with obvious homocidal hatred for the guy swaying his arms around like a wacky wavy inflatable flaling arm man, also spencer telling the crowd to “shut up.”

other than the hipster/drunk magnet that is the urban lounge pretty much cementing that next time i want to see spencer krug live i’m gonna have to drive pretty far, the set was magnificent, and he played with the type of verocity that i knew he’d deliver.

great performance, terrible crowd.

I first heard him via "Commencement" in college on a mix cd from a hot emo chick and immediately bought FLOAT. Lyrically, it's hands down his best album but the beats are HELLA boring as a whole and the album is just a little long. Yes, the guests spots are great (Slug, Vast, Dose One), but in my opinion the best beats on the whole thing are the BLockhead interludes. <br/><br/>"Labor Days" was such a huge step up for both Ace and Block, and I think it's a more complete listen front to back. Regardless, Aesop needs to be recognized outside of the "nerd rap/Def Jux" crowd as one of the illest MC's to ever spit. Good looking on that regard. Weiss:
