44117, i rate the show a strong @@@@ Posted by atruhead, Fri May-19-06 01:40 AM
I cant blame the mic problems on the roots, that's senseless
nas forgot "the world is yours" - the blame lies on him
rahzel did go too long, and it felt like captain kirk's extra long solo was to appease the rock (read: white) crowd. The Roots/resurgence of Big Daddy Kane thing is no longer fresh (meaning new, it's fresh as hell as in fresh for '88 you suckers)
i have a completely new respect for ?uest's dual role as bandleader and stage director, i fidgeted in my seat watching him deal with his staff and bandmembers while playing the drums, editing and reworking on the spot when someone went too long in order to meet the 11 pm deadline. I cant wait to read his insight on it
thought is still flawless
while the show and surprise guests were greatly hyped, there's always tomorrow and i have a ticket for that as well
