DJ Kentaro and The Pharcyde

I'm a little behind on my blog posting. On Wed night, Kenn and I and our new Japanese friend Kenji went to the DJ Kentaro concert. DJ Kentaro is a hip hop DJ and turntablist and he's won the DMC World Championship. The Pharcyde opened for him and they were awesome! Old school hip hop group known for hits "Ya Mama" and "Passing Me By". It was hilarious because they would try to work the crowd but Japanese are so reserved and also I felt like they didn't really understand the English. Anyway, DJ Kentaro was absolutely amazing. He plays the turntables like a musical instrument and he scratches so fast you have no idea how it's even possible to do it. That is pure talent. No matter how much you practice, you can never get that good without those natural skills. After the show, one of the Pharcyde guys was out in the bar area meeting people. We got his autograph, chatted with him a little and took this pic with my camera phone:
