King Gampo CD Release Show at 1st Ave Main Room

I drove from Salt Lake City 20 hours up to Minneapolis just for the show.  Prof gave me a re-tweet when I put that out.

He did 20 songs from what I remember:  (not in order)

I Dry Heave (Project Gampo)
Animal
Rules
Elephant
Terminator
Figured Out
Horses in the Ghetto
Fire
A Month From Now
Anomaly
Yeah Buddy
Daughter
Peep Show
President
Karma
Whiskey
Myself
On My Way
James Bond Blimp
Minnesota Nice  (free download here)

And on top of all that, when he did "Horses in the Ghetto", St Paul Slim came out for his part.  For "Daughter" Brother Ali was there, and for "Minnesota Nice" Slug was jumping all over the stage.  It was pretty fuckin' awesome.

The last song he did was "President" and during the song he and DJ Fundo showered those around the stage with one dollar bills.


This isn't my video, but it's close to where I was at.  Go to 3:50 to see the rain.



This album has some good pictures.  I think it's public, if not let me know.  The first about 50 pictures are of the 1st ave show.

Figured Out

Here's another.  
Prof has does a certain type of song that really sticks out to me, Let Me In, Motor, Mother, Baby Jacob.  He moves away from the partying and revelry toward something calm, sincere, perhaps with some urgency in it.  And it comes out a little again in Figured Out.


It takes a little bit to figure you out,
You're broken, you're flat, you're weak.


He completely slams anyone who is false, pretentious, haughty, etc.


You treat other girls like a piece of shit, you piece of shit!
So obsessed at the top of the clique.


Most of the song he's singing like in A Month From Now, but in Figured Out there are a few lines that he raps.  


It's a high quality piece of work.  Get it here.  Get the whole EP here.
