In front of rowdy old-school hip-hop fans, tha Brown Pound was representin' tha TOO White Crew. Don't get it twisted, we kick it with these guys cuz they can cover any hip hop song from tha early 80's to mid 90's just as good as the original performers did. We helped them close out tha show, with tha TWC song. "Back in 92, where wuz U? I wuz skippin school, Chuggin O-E brew, Back in 92, where wuz U? Watchin' Yo MTV raps wit Dre & Snoop!!"

This time Buda performed "2 White Crew" again with hiz younger brother, Shawn Til Dawn who added hiz own verse 2 this underground classic.

Tha TooWhiteCrew iz tha world's first live hip-hop tribute band. They cover song's like "Push It" by Salt-n-Peppa, and "Nuttin But a G Thang" by Snoop, all tha old school classics we love. U can go to their website to find out when they are coming 2 a city near u. BUDA performed a cover of Biz Markie's "Just a Friend" with his own lyricz he wrote for this performance titled "2 White Crew".

4-02-05 Friday - Kam's - Champaign, ILL .
4 those of u who did not read Buda's article on tha front page of tha Pantagraph... ceck it out to find out tha crazy ass story of how we got "Tha ILLINI" on four radio stations within 24 hours of recording it. (Power 92, WBNQ, Mix 94.5, & Hot 105.5 Blazin HipHop n R&B). While dropping off copies of tha record at Kam'z... Buda met C-Note/lead MC of tha TooWhiteCrew. They felt tha track and asked BHB 2 perform it on stage during their show. Although Kam'z Patrons had never heard tha song..they instantly sang along 2 tha hook and shut that mutha down.

2-23-05 Wednesday - Pub II - Normal, ILL.
T his iz where it all kicked off. After being featured in tha E-Zone of tha ISU Vidette... BigHit rocked tha Pub 2 on its most banginest night "Wasted Wednesdayz".

He set it off with a cover of 50'z "In da Club" and flipped "In da Pub" instead of 50's lyrics. Buda continued 2 get tha crowd charged with repeated chants and rants.

The sound system couldn't handle tha energy and shorted for 15 seconds of Buda's performance of "Tha ILL State". Just like a true MC, Buda continued to shout over 400+ people using his Loud Mouf and flowed right into the beat when tha system kicked back on again.

Buda became tha 1st rapper to rock PUB II, and proved that this performance waz like hiz demo CD titled... 1st One Many 2 Come..
