Wow, I have a friend that knows someone on the SEB and they said that if Raekwon doesn’t do well, they might have to pull Owl City because they won’t be able to afford it. It seems like there might be some truth to it, because the Owl City show is supposed to be officially happening in February, but I still haven’t heard any promotion about it. I’ve never really heard of Raekwon, but I’m going to buy a ticket anyway because I freakin’ love Owl City!! If they don’t come here, I’m transferring.

Raekwon is coming to Baltimore for a show on Novemeber 11, then he will stop at UMBC Nov 12 for extra cash. Snoop was here last week, and Maino the week b4. For more hip hop events in Baltimore, log on to my site BmoreRap.com and sign up, and/or contact me from there.

I think both Weezer and MCR suck. Good bands are hard to come by these days sadly. =(

would have been more ideal…

but really
if you’re willing to read “us dummies’” posts and scroll “in weird directions” (which i assume means left and right, weird) with them….who’s the dummy?

but anyways, i don’t think it’s the proximity to Baltimore that’s bringing raekwon, i think it’s his fame…

Doesn’t it seem like Weezer’s new single “Party All the Time” featuring Lil’ Wayne (although I’m not sure if he’s ever all there) sounds like Eddie Murphy’s timeless foray into pop music, “My Girl Likes to Party All the Time”?

For those trying to compare this Raekwon concert to the T-Pain concert of Spring 08, there is absolutely no comparison. T-Pain is not even a talentless rap act. T-Pain is a talentless pop act. His music hardly resembles hip-hop music or hip-hop culture. And let’s be honest, who has ever heard his real voice. However, Raekwon is considered one of the better emcees of all time and was a prominent member of the Wu-Tang Clan (listen to one of their albums. They draw from a variety of influences, not all of them musical). His album Only Built for Cuban Lynx is regarded as one of the greatest hip-hop albums of all time. He has influenced a number of artists throughout the years.

Regardless of who UMBC gets to play here (Weezer would have been great), everyone should respect the artist in concern, whether its T-Pain, Girl Talk, AAR, MCR, or Raekwon. It’s just arrogant to “hate” an artist without knowing who they are, without listening to their music, or without knowing how they have influenced music. I can’t stand T-Pain or MCR, but I respect the work they put into their music and the uniqueness of their sounds.

Anyway, I’m looking forward to seeing those of you who RESPECT hip-hop music at this show.
