The Roots Return to the Northcoast - AGAIN!

... and I am not mad about it. Well, maybe I am a bit mad about it, since the show falls on a Monday! What is that all about ... ? I'll try to stop pouting long enough to give you the scoop:

Monday, September 24, 2007
The Roots w/MC Lyte & Big Daddy Kane

@ the House of Blues

308 Euclid Avenue in downtown Cleveland

@ 7 p.m.

Tix begin @ $32.50 ... (Ticketmaster)

Okay, so I'm mad about the ticket prices too ... I've never paid more than, say $20 bucks for a Roots concert and frankly, I don't recall paying $20. Yeah, I know, I've had some Roots concert freebies in my past and it wouldn't hurt to cough up the extra cheese, heck, BDK-Big Daddy Kane is on the bill ... oh, and since it does not look as if I will catch the Rock the Bells Fest, this will be the best way to get my hip hop fix.

Get to coughin hip hoppers, get to coughin ... kfox

DJ Jazzy Jeff

I am really digging this new DJ Jazzy Jeff disk. "The Return of the Magnificent" is packed w/jams. Some have an old school feel and others are just blantantly banging!

Some of the guests include Peedi Peedi (he's dropped some lines on some Roots projects that are just killah); Method Man, Black Ice, Big Daddy Kane, Jean Grae ...

I'll try to give details later, but if you have a clue, you'll be telling me the details, right? Oh, but there is one cut called "Practice" f/J Live and it also samples the infamous press conference w/Allen Iverson where he is talking about practice ... classic.

Watch your back hip hoppers (and watch your front too), kfox
