Sean P Swats at Overzealous Fan

I laughed hysterically when Druha (co-founder of DuckDown) posted this link on Twitter so I had to share. In his words "run on stage at Sean Price's show at your own risk".



Check out the look on dude's face when he realized who hit him. He turned back around like "umm, I'm not fucking w/ Sean P...I'll just dance before they toss me off stage like a rag doll". lol

Druha also mentioned that black tomatoes were thrown at Sean the last time he performed in Chile so maybe he was a little too "on guard". Either way, I ain't mad at him.

Go Live Radio: Fresh Edition 5/13/11 (All West Coast Mix)

I've been wanting to do a "non-traditional" West Coast show for a while and the guys finally gave in.

The goal of my playlist was to show how versatile West Coast artists are by showcasing some well-known, and not-so-well-known, talent that happen to call the West home.

Tune in to hear tracks by Ras Kass, Planet Asia, Blu, Pac Div, U-N-I, Kendrick Lamar, Dom Kennedy, Jurassic 5, and many many more.
