Houston, we’ve got a problem

rock-the-bells.jpg

Since Guerilla Union didn’t deem it necessary to blast an announcement, I’ll take it upon myself to play vessel of bad news here.
I spoke with the folks at Rock the Bells and they confirmed to me that the Houston leg of RTB has been canceled for some inexplicable reason. (Meanwhile, kids are still winning concert tickets to the event on 97.9.) Let me find out Ghost and Immortal Technique, who’ve been bad-mouthing the south, canceled on security grounds. The Dallas show is still going down tomorrow, but guess who’s not willing to make the 240-mile trip to D-Town?

Needless to say, I’m relocating to New York after this bullsh*t. (J/K)

[Shout out to Enigmatik for ruining my week with one phone call.]

That sucks for the 10 real hiphop heads in Houston and the 1000 white Rage fans and the 2000 college chicks that wanted to see Talib Kweli live.

Seriously though one of the best hiphop concerts ever, go to Dallas

4. Ivan Says:

5. Enigmatik Says:

If I could go to Dallas I would…but I can’t, so I won’t.

Damn, damn, damn. I can’t believe this nonsense.

I went to the NY show and lemme tell you it’s -1950 from the college chicks and then add that to RAGE fans.

yeah i came with 4 college chicks when i went so i contributed to that on NYC, it was popping on sunday in the rain :P did you go to the saturday one?

Man, find out if that Microsoft Zune BBQ series is coming to a town near you and RSVP that shit right quick. The talent was nowhere near as major as on RTB but overall, that shit was so much more fun than RTB. Real Hip Hop heads, no Rage fans, nice ass sound system, the spot they did it at in NY was off the chain, Large PRofessor, Brand Nubian, Clipse, and surprisingly off the hook final performance by LL Cool J. The Zune still doesn’t see the iPod, but Microsoft got money and they hooked things up right.

13. Illmatic620 Says:

yeah i shouldve went to that, and i was just joking i like a lot of rage stuff and the atmosphere was good at rock the bells.

18. Rizoh Says:

“INTERNET THUGZ”?

I once heard a story about a pot calling a kettle something…

23. Nahshon Says:

Wow, 56 Hustler is right.
I didn’t realize that we were all ganging up on the city of Houston like a bunch of internet thugs.
I guess since no one associated with this blog is from Houston, none of us really know what we’re talking about.

56, thanks for being the voice of reason man.
