Rock The Bells 09 - Toronto [Nas & Mos Def Video]

Hip Hop legends were in the city this past Sunday - Big Boi, Nas, Mos Def, EPMD, Slum Village, MOP, The RZA, Reflection Eternal, KRS One, Pete Rock, Green Lantern, etc. to name a few.. I only got to The Molson Amphitheatre around 7.40 pm [shouts to Cyberkrib, REMG, Guerilla Union] thus missing several acts.  Check ‘Set Times’ for the entire lineup. Common was supposed to be there, but couldn’t make it so Mos Def took his spot, resulting in some classic Black Star material being performed w/ Kweli.  Heard Big Boi killed it too, anyone got video from his set?

Take these clips in..

Mos Def Performs Umi Says to 6000+ outdoors.. Hi-Tek chilling on stage, Pete Rock watching from above while sorting through crates, KRS One side stage singing along.. It was a full moon outside if you look in the background, the vibe was just crazy.

To all the artists I connected with, please do not sleep on Rich Kidd.  He is one of the nicest producers in the game..
