As Mayor Street finished his speech about how beautiful and wonderful Philadelphia is at the Campus Philly Kick Off in LOVE Park today, Reef spit the above words in a scheduled performance of his song, "Sound of Philadelphia". The faces of the Temple cheerleaders and the suited up men was priceless – Oh My God, did he just say that? DJ’s Skipmode and Statik, both from the Ill Vibe Collective held down turntable duties while Reef rhymed at a lecture podium. He appeared very scholarly and made jokes while waiting out the awkward moments to perform (by this time people had scooted to the side of the stage for a photo op with Street). Reef closed out his short set with track, "Big Deal", before stealing a page out of the standard Presidential campaign leaflet and jokingly announcing that he’s taking the show on the road to Washington, New Hampshire, and Iowa. Overheard on the way out was the Philly Car Share guys and how one of them wouldn’t have performed "Sound of Philadelphia" with the Mayor and all the officials there (out of respect). I don’t know what is funnier – the fact that people with green make-up and tight green outfits were saying this or the fact that respect was associated with politics.
