So the line up for this years Rock the Bells Festival has been released. A Tribe Called Quest will be reuniting (again) to headline. Since they were supposed to “reunite” last year at the same festival and only Phife came out, I’m still skeptical but who knows… maybe since they are on as the headline they’ll come through. I’m glad they dropped Wu-Tang as a full and just kept Rae & Ghost as a set then put Red & Meth together. I’m hyped to finally see Rakim live, as well as the Pharcyde. Kidz in the Hall, the Cool Kids, Wale and Santogold were dope additions. And despite the negative reviews for Jay Electronica’s live show, I’m still excited for it.

OH FUCK YES.
too bd DX wouldn’t let me comment.
I’ll see you in Cali, RTB! At least that’s the plan.
*emails job for vacation RIGHT NOW*
I’m kind of let down by that lineup. I went to san bernardino last year and it was the best show I’ve ever been to. Wu-Tang and Rage were fucking incredible. The new additions are solid, but at the expense of dudes like The Roots, Cypress Hill, Talib Kweli, Living Legends, Cage, Brother Ali and JMT…not worth it IMO. I know more acts will probably be added, but this lineup isn’t nearly as impressive to me…
i gets in for free haha, so anything is worth it.
BOOM!
Lucky! Ima be there fa sho…ima hit the booth this year
suuuuure you are. i’ll believe when i see it.
I’m def at the san fran show.
LA is questionable but I’m definitely gonna try.
*will get in for free*
*will likely proceed to crack on everyone in sight*
question – what the fuck happened to san bernardino? that fucked up ALL my plans.
los angeles IS san bernadino.
is it?
so it just SAYS los angeles but will REALLY be in san bern?
whoa whoa whoa.
WALE is on the list?
he doens’t seem to fit but I aint complaining.
los angeles county. they’ve had RTB in san bernadino every year.
plus, if it were in los angeles, it’s only 45 min-an hour from san bernadino, so it’s still not far.
San Bern is a seperate county after montclair u outta LA, then u hit upland which is SB…anywho its not huge diff. Anyway I can roll wit dx to rtb for free99? I’ll wear a tpain top hat and crank the soldier boy for it
i’m just stunned by that line-up…
