IDK,, there are so many good underground acts too though.

i'll have to agree last year's rock the bells alone was a better lineup, but this is a long list of classic dudes under one roof.
not sure if "weak" or "crap" is how i would describe ice cube, but to each their own

tribe doing all of midnight mauraders
krs one doing all of criminal minded
wu doing all of 36 chambers
DJ premier doing a tribute to GURU
lauryn hill doing all of the miseducation
snoop doing all of doggystyle

this just seems weak compared to what i was lucky enough to see.

I cant wait, you guys don't understand..

I WOULD PAY 100$$$ just to see bone thugs alone. I have been the biggest fan since i was like 10yrs old. I don't know what it is but i almost DIED when i saw that.

As for the rest of the line up, i'm really excited. I'm going to the Mountain View one. Finally one thats closer to sacramento! sad J. Cole wont be at the MV one though. but yea its gona be good! I was actually gonna email you at work and ask you if you were going... I saw Zion I, Grouch, and Eligh on that list and thought "boom bip's probably gonna be there if she has to rob a bank for tickets"... I was gonna offer to be your getaway driver if you paid my way in too, haha.

I've still never been to a "festival"-type concert in my life (only the standard one-act shows with the one-to-two mediocre openers), but I can probably hold off on this one. There are bands I'm interested in, but not enough to make it worth my while.

Not sure about 95% crap. Some 'artists' on there I would rather stick knitting needles in my ears than listen 2, but epmd, bdk, naughty, immortal, deltron, slick rick etc. Over here in the uk, hip hop heads who are 30+ would kill for a 95% crap line up like that.

Maybe it's just dudes who are over 30 in general, although freshkest is falling within this category as well! Not a bad lineup imo.

Out of that lineup I would love to see these artists:
- Nas (never seen him live, would love to see the classics get done)
- Atmosphere
- Common
- Ice Cube
- Deltron 3030
- Method Man & Redman
- The Hit Squad
- Immortal Technique
- DJ Quick
-Naughy By Nature
- Big Daddy Kane
- Salt-n-Pepa (yah that's right!)
- Slick Rick
- MURS + Fashawn
- Zion I
- Grouch + Eligh
- RZA + Suprnatural MC'ing
- Bone Thugs (never really cared for this group much, didn't hate their sh!t but never could really get into it... A few tracks would suffice)

I'd rather go to the Back to Basics show with PUTS.
