I have a funny concert story. Back in the day, there used to be all kinds of "RapFest"-type events were a bunch of artists would be on the same bill to perform. At one point in hiphop history, there was a bit of a split between rappers going the Onyx/M.O.P. mash-out, bust your guns in the air route vs. cats going the hippy, all love De La Soul/ and... dare I say it... PM Dawn route. Promoters being promoters would put both type of groups on the same stage which made for some interesting audiences showing up at these events.
I forget the name of the group that was on stage at the time but they basically turned the crowd into a giant fighting moshpit and security kept having to break up fights because the audience was way too amped up. Once the crowd finally calmed down and their set ended, some sort of local radio personality who was trying to keep the concert moving announced that the next group up was the UMC's.
Now I don't know if you remember the UMC's but they were kind of a Native Tongue-style group with happy vibes that had a bit of a following due to a song called "Blue Cheese". It was one of those catchy nonsense tracks that a deejay would mix into his set with De La Soul, L.O.N.S. or Tribe.
Seeing how the crowd was reacting to the "mash-out" groups that came on before them must of gassed these cats up and they tried to come up through the middle of the crowd like Tupac at the Source awards pushing dudes out of the way left and right. Remember, these dudes would be like PM Dawn or some other soft-ass cats trying to get brolic. Anyways, they got stomped the fuck out! Man, I felt sorry for dudes. They had their beads and medallions tore off, their tie-dye shirts ripped and bloodied, and were served some Fred Flintstone size lumps.
Moral of the story: Know your lane. Not every rapper is 50 Cent or Gucci Mane...haha.

Yo... I just looked it up and Kool Kim reinvented himself as NYOIL! Oh shit, I haven't seen a transformation like that since Zev Love X from KMD reinvented himself as MF Doom.
I think Kool Kim's ass-kicking at that concert literally transformed him into new man...LOL.
How is this the same dude?:
