Craw – CRAZY TOUR STORIES

In this Crazy Tour Stories segment, the hip hop artist, Craw, talks about one of his crazy moments from touring. You can check out the feature, after the break.

I started performing frequently around the age of 15. Considering that I’m a hip hop artist, and most hip hop shows are in clubs, and venues that serve alcohol, this always made for an interesting time.

At almost every show I played, I had to be escorted by security on and off the stage. I would literally stand outside the backstage, wait to be let in, perform, and then get escorted out. I can remember several times where I was standing outside a venue after a show, and people wanted to talk or offered to buy me a drink, and I would have to talk to them through a barrier, and explain why I couldn’t go inside.

When I was 17, I was playing a show in North Hollywood and something funny happened. After playing my set, I got off stage and I was approached by a few people to take pictures. At the same time, the venue’s security guard was trying his best to get me out of club and off of the floor, but I wanted to make sure that everyone got a picture who wanted one. Before I knew it, this big ass dude literally scooped me up, carried me across the venue, and dropped me outside! At the time, I was a little pissed off, but in hindsight, it’s one of the funniest things that’s happened to me at a show.
