HEY BOBBITO, I SAW YOUR POST ON BOUNCEMAG.COM ABOUT THE "ANYTIME ANY DAY WORKOUTS" HAPPENEIN AGAIN. I DONT LIVE IN NYC, BUT WAS WONDERING IF THERES ANYWAY I COULD PURCHASE A PAIR OF THE ANYTIME ANYDAY WORKOUT SHORTS FROM YOU AT ALL?
It was a pleasure meeting you the other night brotha... nuff respect man.. you're a true inspiration.. thank you for doing what you're doing - especially playing "El Sonero Mayor" Ismael "Maelo" Rivera!!!
Peace Bobbito! Thank you so much for coming out and blessing San Francisco with the Wonders of Stevie! Here's a small glimpse into what was! Happiest of Holidays to you and yours...no worries about the peanuts in my beard! ~mOca
This is after the Rock Steady Crew basketball Squad smoked all competition at this year's benefit during the RSC 31st Anniversary. Bobbito brought me the good news. Everyone has there role in RSC. We ain't shit on the court with out Bob.
Yo BOB!!!! Whoa! I've been to many of your sets and enjoyed many different experiences but last monday@ APT had to be one of the flyest,dopest,funkiest,most soulful set I ever did have the pleasure to bare witness to. The Kool in the GanG track was crazy I never would have believe it was them. I don't know who that ultra funky track of some woman she sounded like Lyn Collins she was talking about payin taxes or something like that, Some Nina Simone tracks that were out of this world and the last one was an house track,the sista flowed on that track very smooth and type funky. Bob you torched the room with those tracks. It was my best friends birthday from back in the day and you made his birthday one to remember. Thankyou family I danced my ass off I was hurting all in my legs the next day. You see to me a great DJ can introduce a track to a savy dance head a make em feel like they were just was born, I was so excited and inspired I couldn't even form words bro I was blown away. Stay funky Bob,there's still alot treasures to unearth and share with the masses and it's plain to see that you will always have an love affair with quality music...Thank God
Holla at you soon fam and Thanks
Silk
p.s I would love to know the names of those tracks I mentioned they made me lose it on the dance floor and I doubt anyone will be dope enough or funky to spin the jewels you played.
