Brittney The Square’s Top 3 Solution Moments:
1. The 2010 (4th Annual) Solution J Dilla Tribute w/ Slum Village at Bar Standard: SV is the first hip hop group that really got me listening to hip hop back in 2002. So, to meet them and see them perform at The Solution was amazing. Although I spent most of the night in the back corner away from the party soliciting donations for the J Dilla Foundation, the night still managed to make my top 3 list for a few reasons: 1. meeting SV and seeing them perform some of my favorite tracks 2. eating all the damn donuts (powdered and chocolate were the preference) 3. hearing tracks that I had no idea Dilla produced and buggin’ out about it and of course, 4. supporting a good cause.
2. Meeting my boyfriend at the Solution at the Funky Buddha: It was either my first or second night ever at The Solution and I was helping out with usual stuff when Low Key introduced me to, who would later be, my future boyfriend. When we met, we immediately got on the subject of, of course, music and our music preferences. We talked about not only hip hop, but soul/r&b, which is my favorite. I was impressed that he knew all of my favorite artists and I think he was impressed that I was so into and passionate about the same music as he was. It took me awhile to really come around, but eventually I did. Hate to admit it, but you can find love at the “clubâ€.
3. My third favorite Solution moment doesn’t have a name. It’s just those random nights dancing and vibing to good ass music with your favorite people. That’s what it’s all about, right?
