With so much news to that flys by in the Houston rap scene, the month of March is here to sit back and deal with all of the madness. Welcome to our own version of March Madness, where we're delivering stories every work day to keep you occupied with the ins and outs of the Houston rap landscape.
Why exactly was Steve Francis onstage at the Sauce Twinz show at Warehouse Live on Saturday night?
That was the question many chose to ask following the Twinz's sold-out performance inside the venue's Ballroom area. Not that the Twinz tore the house down or were using unnecessary gangsta rap posturing by having 30-plus people onstage surrounding their every move, or that one girl decided to flash the entire crowd.
And not that Sancho Saucy decided to rock a pink tuxedo with matching hat and backpack. Or that Sauce Walka thought more like Beyonce and Kelly Rowland did when Michelle Williams fell on that one episode of 106 & Park. Wait; let's take a glance back at that moment, the last Houston "fall" of note that created a seismic wave.
Williams has long been considered the third, almost forgettable member of Destiny's Child. Which is such a shame, considering that whenever Beyoncé needs to clean up for church after sweating her weave out in the club on Saturday, she calls Michelle. When Kelly is too busy singing about getting perfectly placed kisses in the bedroom and needs to clean up for Sunday morning, she calls Michelle. Basically, people call Michelle only when they need to turn ultra-conservative. She was, is and forever will be the Winston Wolf of Destiny's Child.
Want to know how the two "stars" of Destiny's Child treated Michelle during one performance on 106 & Park? They let her fall and kept on moving.
KEPT. ON. MOVING.
Nobody stopped the song to pick Michelle up. Nobody bothered to check for her safety. They let Michelle become a piece of Internet history, which is exactly what happened Saturday night at Warehouse Live to Steve Francis.
By now, the clip of Francis getting stomped on and his chain snatched has circulated all over the Net. It hit ESPN. It hit TMZ. It made Sauce Walka chuckle at the fact he was on TMZ, even when every national outlet of some repute decided that a) Warehouse Live was a club and not a performance venue; b) Francis was in a "club" and not at a rap show; and c) There was zero mention of the Twinz altogether.
Back to the original question. Why was Francis onstage Saturday? Easy, actually.
You see, there's a little bit of floating fact that Francis has been a benefactor for the Sauce Factory by sponsoring a few shows. Now, that's one thing. Francis constantly interrupting the show by hopping on the microphone to brag about his wealth is an entirely different matter. Nobody was going to hop onstage and openly declare, "Leave Steve alone," because Steve...kind of put himself in that position when he offended the Sauce. At least that's how one particular man with a flat top felt.
