    [Event] Rock The Bells with Ms. Lauryn Hill, Nas, DJ Premier, AZ & Pete Rock (Toronto)

    Now it might not be all the artists listed above in this poster but it's the only one I could find for Rock The Bells. I have known since Sunday that Rock The Bells might come to Toronto but I didn't believe it 100% since it wasn't on Rock The Bells website and the ticket outlets that were selling tickets didn't seem official. This all changed when I received an email from Ticket Master in association with Livenation.com. I have emailed the publicist for Rock The Bells to confirm further but for now Livenation and Ticket Master are legitimate companies that I trust. Considering tickets start at 37.75 and go up to 120 for the best seat I think this line-up is definitely worth it. What about you?
    Both headline artists performing their iconic albums in their entirety Ms. Lauryn Hill will perform The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill and Nas (with DJ Premier, AZ & Pete Rock) will perform Illmatic. With special guests to be announced.

    [Funny] Rap Stars Don’t Smile, Do They?

    Andre 3000.

    On the final late night summer edition of the Come Up Show, we had a discussion about the best smiles in rap on the chat boards. Chedo was kinda joking when he said he was going to start a contest about this (not everyone agreed with my --still standing-- vote for SHAD), so a post featuring some of the best grinnage in the game is the next best thing.

    [Audio] Ron Isley “Close To You” feat. Lauryn Hill

    As a Brill Building writer, Burt Bacharach knew well that it is love's inimitability that generates, perhaps ironically, the most generic questions of all. Maybe this is why "Close To You" remains a classic, because it frames uniquely a curious perspective of love's wonder: "Why are birds suddenly up here?" "Why do stars fall from the sky, every time you walk by?" Let Isley and Lauren suggest a reason why all this weird stuff keeps happening to you. The arrangement is really quite sappy (or historically accurate, depending on your perspective) with piano, strings and all. But if you let it, it just might wash you away. Isley (who recorded an album with Bacharach in 2003, Here I am: Bacharach meets Isley) is set to put out a new record via Def Jam titled Mr. I.
