first off, i want to say that they still rocked it last night...seeing that ish in RCMH was a trip...that said, there is no way around the fact that it was a disappointment...at around 9:30, i looked at my boy and said, "we've been through all the announced guests, the next 90 minutes should be constant surprises"...i was wrong...i second the frustrations that have already been named (inexcusable mic problems, rahzel's super-extended stand-up act, 10:35 conclusion, lack of kamal & ?uest solos)

i, too (like many others have already said), would love to hear the names of the no-shows (kanye? jay? em? ghost? atcq?)...however, my guess is that ?uest is probably too smart (professional) to let that ish leak

i am on my way back into the city in an hour or so for tonight's show...gonna eat a big steak before the show (yeah sparks!) and hope that things go better tonight....
