After a night of Live Tweeting from the Rock the Bells 2009 Press Conference /Show [shout out to Meka from 2DopeBoyz for inviting me], we have walked away with a few conclusions.
- Nas and Damian Marley are doing an album together…which they will be performing during the tour this year.¬† I’m lowkey excited about this, after seeing their energy on stage together.¬† There is footage below.
- Psycho Realm will be on the tour. Hmph. Next.
- M.O.P.¬† Ante upppppppp!¬† I haven’t seen them on stage in a HOT minute.
- Jurassic 5 broke up.  I was under the impression that you had to be actively working to technically break up? Anyhow, Charlie Tuna will be debuting some solo material on the tour.
- SuperNatural is still freestyling.¬† I’m pretty sure his dreads are as old as me…I can’t front though, he went in.
- KRS is hosting and hopes the tour will be on some positivity/stop the violence type ish.  Its a FESTIVAL, not a protest.
- Slum Village will be reuniting [RIP Dilla]….YES!
- Slaughterhouse will be on the tour….I know quite a few people will be juiced about that.
- The return of Reflection Eternal will be in the house, I am looking forward to hearing this…as the 1st album is in my top 5 in rotation at all times.
Other than that, you will see your typical players out….The Roots, Raekown, Murs [who had a crate of Girl Scout cookies and was handing them out like candy...] Pete Rock…and many more. I have tons more footage, but here is one for now…

So um, when are we buying tickets?
I wanna see them bring out some new people. But The Roots are always a good show
i might skip it this year
lol…ill probably be sitting with you…lol.
now you got me slightly excited about a nas and damian marley project. but i’m much more geeked for reflection eternal. i hope you have pics of you sharing scout cookies w. murs!
I would be excited about a Nas and Damian album too, but these Collabos albums from Nas always sound good on paper but rarely ever seen the light of day. Ima file this under the “I’ll believe that shit, when I see that shit” catagory
I’ve got some dope video from KRS 1′s performance @ the end
