no rae and ghost in philly is disappointing but show should be dope. i hope they add some more indie acts to make the second stage more worthy of checkin

phila, any idea on ticket prices?

This year is going to be the best yet. And i've gone to the L.A. area show the last three years. Tribe and a Pharcyde reunion? That would have me there already. This lineup is ridiculous!

yeah this is sum bullshit..i wanted to see verbal intercourse live..

YouTube · Post by **Philaflava** » Wed Apr 23, 2008 2:04 pm

My guess tickets start at 50-60? VIP is like 125.00 MAYBE. I think that was the price last year so it can't be much different.

I heard ALL Pharcyde members will be there. Including Lip.

I'd be CYSED to see Tribe and De La at a small venue, but I'm too old to deal with a being cramped together with a bunch of sweaty teenage drunks and drug addicts in 100 degree heat.

nah, i'm with you. Fuck traveling to roosevelt island, paying 70+ to sit in the mud, standing in line for an hour to get a 5$ bottle of water, all to vaguely hear echoes of song snippets lost in fuzz, distortion and crowd noise. In a midsize venue this would be great, but not as a stadium show. The only act that was actually worth the money last year was Rage.

Werd (apart from the RATM part, fuck those rap-rock faggetz). Outdoor stadium shows with thousands upon thousands of crackers in the sweltering mid day August heat + the rap musik = not like ODB and Mariah or babies and pacifers.

well that or the fact that most hiphop acts don't really know what to do with themselves in a huge arena or how to play to a crowd that size and sound good, as opposed to a rock band that spent the majority of their career putting on shows in an exactly this kind of environment with superior results

True.

was cool too.

so was Rakim, who bust some real freestyles.

Cypress Hill was hella hype, and it was also great to see Scott Ian with Public Enemy.

I dunno where you were, but I was at a pretty fucking dope rap show when I went to Rock the Bells last year.

I made the same comment last year after witnessing Chicago's RTBz

True.

was cool too, it was awesome how they didn't actually finish a single song and the sound was so bad it was at times hard to tell which song they were kinda doing

so was Rakim, who bust some real freestyles, that could only be distinctly heard by the people within a 20 feet radius of the actual stage

Cypress Hill was hella hype, probably because they've now played these kinds of summer tours for years and actually have the experience necessary to pull it off

and it was also great to see Scott Ian with Public Enemy, especially the parts where flava flav derailed the whole perfomance by trying to introduce his kids and going into random rants about his reality show IN THE MIDDLE OF A SONG

I dunno where you were, but I was at a pretty fucking dope rap show when I went to Rock the Bells last year, but then again i have a mancrush bordering on idolatry for half of the performers on the bill

Might i also suggest that since you traveled a long way and slept in a shitpile in times square just to attend, your mind has so much invested in the experience that it can not accept the fact that what you saw was at best a great idea with mediocre execution. I don't doubt that you had a fun adventure, but the very fact that it was such a huge adventure and that fact that you are, well... YOU, negates any possibility of objectivity in opinion.
