Coming soon to a 4 city near you is The Rock The Bells tour. The Wu-Tang Clan will headline with a start-to-finish performance of their 1993 debut, Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). They’ll be joined by Slick Rick, performing 1988′s The Great Adventures of Slick Rick; Rakim, performing his and Eric B’s 1987 Paid in Full; and KRS-One, performing Boogie Down Productions’ 1987 Criminal Minded.
That list right there is a handy summary of why a certain era of NY hip-hop has been referred to as a golden age. Each of those albums is a classic. Seeing not one but four such records performed as it originally appeared on wax? Yeah, that’s pretty cool.
I'm seriously bummed that the nearest city near me that this is coming to is Washington D.C.. Oh well perfect time for a road trip.
Head over to the Rock The Bells website http://www.rockthebells.net/ to check out the concert dates and full list of performers. Are you interested in seeing any of these shows? Which album would you be most psyched to see performed in its entirety?
