concert review: 2k sports bounce tour featuring q-tip, the cool kids and the knux (nov. 21, 2008)

so i got the very rare opportunity to catch some of the best acts in modern hip-hop open for q-tip, who's in a league of his own. to be honest, the man's solo stuff is good (the renaissance more so than amplified) but he will never step from the reign that a tribe called quest had put above hip-hop. seeing q-tip perform tribe songs was truly unreal.

anyway, check the review here, and hit the comments for set lists.

EDIT: the cool kids have been keeping a blog and also posted some pictures from the houston shop, so get up on that.

if this tour is hitting your town, DO NOT MISS IT.

the knux - remind me in 3 days (album sampler) (2008)

all aboard the hype train. got my hands on this album sampler for the knux's upcoming album, "remind me in 3 days," which is out october 28th on interscope. (contrary to what the sampler says). these dudes are gonna be picking up a lot of steam in the next few months and if this sampler is this hot, there's no way this album won't deliver. these dudes are gonna have run up on the cool kids' asses for hottest upcoming hip-hop duo.
