going to Rock the Bells tomorrow (San Francisco)... mainly to see The Roots and Rage. I haven't a clue what the other people sound like (well the others i have heard of, I don't really care if i see them live or not. not a very big fan of seeing hip hop acts live). just wondering if any of the earlier acts are worth going a little early for (before 3:30). thanks

Please give a report on Rage...I'm going to see them next week I think.

dude you have to see wu-tang! ahhhasdjkahdsascfljbnadvb. I was going to drive down for this show but plans fell through.


If you haven't seen Q-bert yet i suggest you check that out. The guy is a robot and everyone should witness his live show at least once.

Also Zion I is my favourite conscious hip hop act so check him out too.

well.. i'll let u know how their set goes!

i've seen q-bert before. it was for a signing of some toy i cannot mention. he was amazing (he's going to be there? or are you just naming excellent acts i must check out)

haha i think he's there, i saw his name on a list for the concert.


k now that i see the image.

If you like funk check out blackalicious. They have a huge following with their unconventional style and straight funk they inject into their shows.

Mos def and Talib Kwali are also very talented and socially conscious.


Also Hieroglyphics are prolific!!! They made that jam "93' till infinity" which is a quintessential track for hip hop heads. Watching them would be a testament to the oldschool for sure.

jedi mind trick are good
i would def want to see immortal technique that guy is ill nice political hip hop
didnt soul of mischef make 93 till infintiiy
but i like hip hop so i would want to see most of these acts
wish i didnt pass up the NYC show
seein most hip hop sucks live
the roots always puts on a great show as does talib kweli and mos def

MF doom rocks to

I loved the latest Sage Francis and Blackalicious albums, and of course The Roots are an American classic. Dang, I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. I'm so out of it ... didn't even know about this. Man MURS and Doom, too! Ack.

got back a little while ago... review? RATM kicked ass!... played all the hits you've grown to love and wrapping it up with "killing in the name". made everyone who performed before look like something out of a high school talent show (except the roots of course)

Sounds good. I'm going to see them at the end of this week...hoping for the same.

Rhino, you want to see all those acts..

talib and mos def are amazing, pharoh monch and EPMD would also be worth seeing.

Im a big underground Hip Hop fan, so I would be there at 11:00

Damn! I didn't know this was going on either...did youget to see blackalicious? always worth checking out as one of them most socially responsible hiphop acts out there, not to mention they jam, too!

the coup and heiroglyphics, too! fuck! how much were tix?

just got air tix yesterday, can't wait for that!

heh, I just checked the date on above flyer

i don't hang out in the right circles cause i didn't hear a peep about ths.

I hate music festivals, but DAMN that's a line-up! EPMD!?!
This reads like a list of what I listened to throughout the 90s (minus a few names), and I still listen to a little of that stuff today (Doom, Wu-Tang).

how was doors open?
