Open Mic what a Night

At 7 pm on a calm but chilly Thursday winter evening, a group of friends and I attended a soul inspired bombardment of meaningful lyrics and rhymes that explain a happy or hurt man’s heart and mind. As we walked into this soulful event created by Profound Pioneers Entertainment Group, which was located in the circus room at the bone, I saw everyone in their best dressed outfits. Music played from the speakers to set the atmosphere as conversation filled the room. We all waited patiently, eager to hear the poetic words from each artist who was soon to grace the stage. With all of our anxiety building up, the host got on the mic and hyped the already eager crowd even more; he made us laugh with a few jokes and then even threw in a few of his own lines to entice our hunger for lyrics. After his hyping up, he introduced the first act. The crowd gave a respectable applause then silence became of us as we waited to see what the artist had to say. He walked up with a retro styled outfit, fresh from head to toe and a clean snap back to top it off. As he got the mic he asked the crowd how we were doing and there was a minimal response. I could tell that he was pretty nervous and this could possibly be his first time. As he pulled out his iPod which contain all of his lyrics he took in a deep breath, and began to rhyme. The more he flowed the more the crowed felt his lyrics and the more comfortable I could see he became. The crowed snapped him off after he finished and the mc returned to the stage. After that performance everyone seemed ready to hear the next artist. But after the MC introduced the next artist the crowed seemed very displeased. His stage presence was not at all matching with the previous performer nor was his lyrics as substantial. This was not an issue though because afterwards the MC gave us a great laugh to build back the spirit of the crowed and from their on, we were bombarded by soulful lyrical poems that left us thinking after the artist were finish. The MC came out after the last artist was done and we were expecting to hear his conclusion so we could leave but instead he sang a song with his great voice. It left us all speechless. Then he spoke a poem that still leaves me thinking as I write this blog. It was an event that I will not soon forget.
