On Friday, July 19, 2013, Maino was featured in the Hip Hop Improv Show – TAKE IT PERSONAL presented by Hot 97’s Cipha Sounds and Upright Citizens Brigade (UCB), the top improv theatre and school in NYC. Improvisers Cipha Sounds, Abra Tabak, Phil Jackson, Lydia Hensler, Brandon Gardner, and Brandon Scott Jones reenacted stories originally told by Maino.
During the show rapper Maino shared a story about a “sweaty” encounter he had with a rapper [that he opted NOT to name] .. you can watch the full dialogue in the video below. At the show’s conclusion – Cipha Sounds said:
“My boy Maino finally came through to ‘Take it Personal‘. He’s one of the first guys I wanted to get. I know he’s gonna have some great stories to turn into comedy… And he did. Mafia!!!”
Special Guests included Keith Nelson (AllHipHop.com), , Shenequa Golding (Interactive One), Gerard ” (HipHopGamer)“, and more. Take it Personal‘ will continue every Friday at the legendary UCB Theater.
