No phone. an equal opportunity/affirmative action institution ©2004 Pabst Brewing Company GENUS PRO 20 JUNE 17, 2004 JUNE 20 The Nairobi Boys, 6 You don't get a picture with only part of the puzzle. Superlative teamwork and a near-genius mix of various strengths makes Genus Pro represent as a hip-hop force to be reckoned with. The group includes Marv Ellis, true to his name/pun, wicked on the mic with the poise of Mercury; Metric, street-poet turned beat- doctor; and Elea’zar, whose positive vibe raps the hot and the cold and the hate and the love and spins 'em all into one golden hip-hop tapestry. Make sure to see the show this Saturday night. Check out Eugene Weekly’s clubs page for show information.
