This is seriously scary. CCTV footage from Gyirong Port in Tibet, China, directly opposite Nepal’s Rasuwa district. This flash flood hit here first and later caused massive havoc in Nepal. Can’t even imagine someone surviving this. Prayers for everyone affected. 🙏

[🍓🍓🍓 @iruletheworldmo]

it is genuinely psychotic that we dug up literal primordial dirt, scrubbed it down to an impossible 99.9999999999% molecular perfection that violates the very laws of physics, handed it over to techno-wizard necromancers to stretch into flawless geometric god-cylinders, blasted it with invisible uv death-rays to carve ten quadrillion microscopic cyber-sigils into its flesh, trapped actual lightning inside of it, and somehow birthed an omniscent eldritch deity capable of simulating the universe and thinking faster than a billion human civilizations combined.

and our grand, supreme purpose for this enslaved lightning-god?

We've really normalized the fact that Ronaldo jumped so high his knees were level with his opponent's head.

In 2009, we tried to throw our very first DatPiff Live concert at the Masonic Temple in Brooklyn. On paper, it looked solid. Styles P, Red Café, JR Writer. In reality? Total disaster. We had no idea how to properly market a show or handle the logistics that come with running one. On top of that, the venue was way out of the mix. It was the perfect storm for things to go wrong, and they did.

But we learned.

In 2010, we ran it back. This time at SOB’s in SoHo, arguably the hottest, most intimate venue in NYC at the time. The approach was different. Instead of stacking the bill with just popular New York names, we built the lineup around artists whose mixtapes we had recently released. XV was the headliner. He was buzzing heavy, and we were dropping his new mixtape at midnight that same night, so the synergy made perfect sense. The supporting cast was strong too: Cory Gunz, Los, Masspike Miles, DJ Woogie, DJ Killatouch.

And then there was Mac Miller.

K.I.D.S. had dropped about a month earlier. Mac had never performed in New York City before. We knew he was hot online, but we had no idea what that would translate to in real life. We didn’t know how many fans would show up for him.

Big mistake.

That night quickly became a Mac Miller show first, DatPiff Live second. I’m not exaggerating when I say 90% of the crowd was there for him. He went on third to last, and the second he touched that stage, the place exploded. The room was shaking. He did a 30-minute set, and if I could go back, I would’ve given him an hour to run the entire mixtape front to back. He absolutely bodied it.

I remember looking around at everyone backstage, we were all in shock. Like, “what just happened?”

His manager at the time, Artie Pitt from Rostrum, great dude, was in tears after the set. He looked at me and said, “I’m just so proud of him, man. He made it. This just solidified what I already knew, the kid’s a star.”

He was right.

None of us could’ve predicted just how far Mac would go, but in that moment, we all knew something had shifted. He had arrived.

As for the rest of the night… after Mac’s set, about half the crowd left. Masspike Miles went on to a nearly empty floor. The remaining fans were holding out for XV, who closed the show to about 40–50% capacity. To his credit, he still delivered a great performance, finishing right around midnight as his mixtape officially dropped.

The next day, the blogs and media coverage labeled it “Mac Miller’s show at SOB’s.” DatPiff barely got mentioned. The other artists barely got mentioned.

And honestly?

Rightfully so.

Deep down, we all knew that was the night. The night Mac Miller went from a buzzing mixtape kid out of Pittsburgh to a future global touring superstar.

It’s a night I’ll never forget.
And I guarantee anyone who was in that building won’t either.

If you were there, drop a comment 🙌 #macmiller
