CrossfadedBacon and 215HipHop present Its The Year 2000

So we’ve teamed up with our homies at 215hiphop.com to throw this new party where we focus on dance hits from a particular year. First up is the year 2000 and the album covers on the poster below should give you a good idea of some of the jams we’ll be pumping through the speakers at the severely under used upstairs (at least for dance parties) at Johnny Brenda’s. Mark it on your calendar. It’s gonna be cray-cray!

Lets look at top 5 albums according to Billboard

1. Dr. Dre - 2001
2. Eminem - The Marshall Mathers LP
3. DMX - And Then There Was X
4. Sisqo - Unleas the Dragon
5. Jay-Z - Vol. 3… Life And Times Of S. Carter

So, yeah, year 2000 bangers this Friday at Johnny Brendas, I’m about this.  I wonder what year will be next?

The 2008 Philly BBoy BBQ has been canceled due to too much vandalism.

We received some sad news earlier this week that the B-Boy BBQ is going on a short hiatus and will NOT be happening this year. So yes, it is canceled! Mainly due to the uncontrollable amounts of vandalism that was occurring in the playground and to the surrounding neighborhood area. We will keep you up to date about a new venue as soon as we & the organizers find one.

Hmm, so does that mean it was canceled due to graffiti?

Head over 215HipHop to see pictures from years past.
