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.Paragraph President wrote:Am I the only one who doesn't give one flying fuck about this?

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.drizzle wrote:nah, i'm with you.

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 resultsParagraph President wrote:drizzle wrote:The only act that was actually worth the money last year was Rage.Paragraph President wrote:Am I the only one who doesn't give one flying fuck about this?

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.

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.Mindbender Futurama wrote:SYMantiks wrote:True.drizzle wrote:The only act that was actually worth the money last year was Rage.
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
