"Confirmed Headliners Performing Full Album Sets Include
Ms. Lauryn Hill, Nas, Cypress Hill, Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star, Raekwon & Ghostface and more"

Last year was supposed to be the same thing, but not everybody stuck to it. I know Rakim and KRS did other cuts.

I'm actually amped to see No Said Date more than some of the others, which I've already seen performed more or less in their entirety.

Actually, the image file i grabbed from the site is on a clear background, which is why the forum's baby blue shines through. I think it looks pretty cool like this though.

Shit in the Bay is like 2 minutes from my pad. Might haveta go. Why the fuck is Lauryn's crazy ass headlining though? No one has given a damn about her for more than a decade.

PEACE

That's true for 95% of the lineup. This is the rap equivalent of those free Beach Boys park concerts every city has.

I really hope the Mac Miller performance is just an ambush that involves him getting beat to death as an intermission between the acts that actually belong there.

I'd much sooner go see Frankie Beverly and Maze in concert.

From what I hear they don't pay too much unless you're a Nas or Wu character.

I don't think many acts can pull off these 'whole-album-in-one-set' shows, but I think Nas and Black Moon could prove to be the exception. It seems like Nas has actually thought about the set.

Seen GZA do Liquid Swords and Rae & Ghost do Cuban Linx and they were both terrible. Sorry, but Shawn Wiggs doing Nas's verse on Verbal Intercourse does NOT cut it.

this is the rap equivalent of those big four shows with megadeth, metallica, slayer and anthrax all 15 to 20 years passed their prime.

Serious question, Immortal Technique still raps?

With that lineup, no way Erykah Badu isn't leaving pregnant

Sounds great and all, but I can't do another one of these whole day affairs. It's just too much. Not to mention you have to walk like 2 miles from where the boat docks to where the show is taking place. Then be there for 12 hours and then walk back with a million people trying to get on 2 boats. It's just not a fun experience.

It's a dope lineup, though. For the most part.

first of all, its Ardamus.

Macklemore is this kid from Seattle I heard about a few years ago. Always thought he was underrated.

Not bad that his video is almost up to a million views, too.
