Strictly personal experience, but dead prez three times, including a time when they didn't call to give a reason and another that was a benefit for Erykah's kids school. The host Local Radio Personality(c) said dead prez wouldn't be there because he was sick.

You take the blue pill, the story ends. You wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill, you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes.
No-show for his the Dayton date of his "last" tour. (for Gettin' It)
Horribly organized show, hardly any crowd there (I think it was at the Nutter Center-too big a venue), did get to see Snoop show up in a bandana jumpsuit though and after saying I still don't think they know my name performed "What's my name" again. No band, just replay that tape and rap over it twice in a row.
