Rock the Bells 2010

The line-up for this show is outrageous this year! I don't even care if I'm going to be in the area; I'll buy a ticket for a flight back just to see this. Classic hip-hop albums performed *in their entirety*?!?! Spectacular.

I think if I had to choose one artist that completely sells me on this show, it would be Lauryn Hill. The woman hasn't come out with an album since her "Unplugged" album, and I'd absolutely LOVE to see her live. Of course, Snoop Dogg, Tribe, Wu-Tang, Rakim, Slick Rick...and basically all of the others are wonderful as well. I'm going crazy over here if you couldn't tell. Concert of a lifetime!

If you've never been to a Rock the Bells show, they're a lot of fun. It's basically an entire day full of hip-hop blasted in your face. Check out more details on the festival at http://rockthebells.net/. Ticket sale information is supposed to be up soon too.
