The AllHipHop Rebirth Concert features Joe Budden, Talib Kweli, Cassidy and Swizz Beatz!

Talib Kweli - Ever since emerging as a member of Black Star in the late 1990s, Talib Kweli is one of the few artists making commercially viable music that matters. The Brooklyn bred rapper's hard-hitting music has been able to educate and entertain simultaneously. Both Jay-Z and 50 Cent named Talib Kweli as one of their favorite rappers and now the rapper offers Ear Drum, his sixth overall album. The album has been acclaimed as one of the 2007’s best by fans and critics alike.

Cassidy – After surviving a near-fatal car crash, the hustler returns! One of the first artists on Swizz Beatz's J Records-affiliated Full Surface label, Cassidy is a fresh-faced Philadelphian who can balance battle skills with commercial viability. “My Drink n' My 2 Step” is Cassidy’s new hit record that supports his upcoming album B.A.R.S. B.A.R.S. is set to drop on October 23. Read the recent Cassidy interview with AllHipHop.

WHO ELSE? - AllHipHop.com Rebirth Concert will be a night to remember.

AllHipHop.com - This year marks our 9th Anniversary.  As part of our celebration, we will be hosting a series of offline events to highlight the occasion.  AllHipHop Week is sponsored by Vitamin Water, Hot 97, MySpace, iTunes, GIANT magazine, Polo Grounds Music / J Records, & Atlantic Records.  Additional sponsors to be announced.

Not a fan of Hurricane Chris, but I would have to say that this is a good lineup. It has a balance which the radio and mainstream lacks. I would spend money for this concert if it was in my area.

Hurricane Chris....not hatin' on him but his music represents everything that Talib and Lupe denounces in rap music today. Obviously the promoter is trying to attract the younger crowd to this concert but I feel it's a insult to all rappers....including Hurricane Chris.

How you gone have Hurricane Chris open up the show wit Ay Bay Bay'....

Then have Lupe perform after him with a song like "Dumb it down"

Or Talib Kweli follow up wit his song More Less.......

The promoter would have done better by having Mims or Young Berg on that ticket if they wanted a artist with radio appeal...

On another note........

Hopefully Lupe and Talib will convince Cassidy not to put out a all thug/gangster style cd.... Most young rappers think they have to capitolize off of being locked up or shot at to move major units in todays rap game... But Common,Kayne,Talib is proof and Lupe will be also (once he drops his new cd The Cool in November) that you can speak from the heart, have meaningful songs and still get respected like the hardest thug on any block...

A real street kat know pretty boy thugz gotta work harder than the average to justify their thug.. (No homo)....RealTalk

@the kaebeezy and illseed

For the record I'm not questioning Hurricane Chris's lyrical abiltity I just question what else is he going to rap about besides "Ay Bay Bay" at concert where most artist are putting out a message in their music....That's all.

illseed said:

HC has the same issues that Rich Boy talked about. he's got a no1 record, but he can spit.

well, if he just was a "spitter" nobody would buy it.

on top of that, i'm interested in seeing what the young boy has on the  stage at the live show. no going to completely disregard him. he forced us to pay attention and after i saw the "a bay bay" remix, i was like..."ok...i wanna hear more"

check out the rich boy interview

and lupe and talib arent denouncing anything in their music.
September 4, 2007 12:07 PM
 

Real Hip Hop Since 1977 said:

@illseed

denounce

1. to express harsh criticism or condemnation of something or somebody, usually in public.....

So illseed you're saying that Talib or Lupe have never expressed harsh criticism on rappers who only make material (Bling-Bling) songs or gangster(I'll murk your Babysitter's,babysitter) songs or catchy jingle type rap songs?

Yes just like you my respect level raised a little bit for HC after the Ay Bay Bay remix... Hurricane Chris is better than the song he's blowin' up on..... I still couldn't recite/remember a line from Ay Bay BAy  or Rich Boys Throw Some D's songs......Now ask me about UGK that's a different story...

Illseed I understand and respect that you work for AHH and you're defending the higher ups but you and I both know HC does not need to be on that Tour....

I think HC would fit better on a DJ Unk, Soulja Boy, Lil Boosie, Aunt Jackie, Lil Momma tour better........RealTalk

To be honest my EarDrums mostly listen to what some may call conscious rap or REAL HIP HOP but the more and more I listen to hip hop...you can NOT knock the style and content of the next artist because they don't talk about what YOU like...

I was not of fan of Hey Bay Bay and still not but I have heard the dude freestyle and it was CRAZY...I guess after you check someone out LIVE you can base your opinions cuz some of these artists that are SUPPOSEDLY hot in the game SUCK LIVE...

But come on now stop the Hate on the young cat he deserves his shine too even that dude Solja Boy...it is like dayum they dont have the best ish but you can't knock their hustle and they are doing it well...

But as for a concert you need diversity anyway..aint always been about the money and the masses?

Man HIP HOP evolves every 5 years any how it is just in rotation..

I've heard that damned a bay bay track and it sucks...... but out of trying to be fair to the artist, I listened to some other track I heard on a mixtape.....IT STILL SUCKS.... Dude can't even follow a simple ass rythm.....

The beats and the dumb ass (yet infectuous) hooks are THE ONLY THING THAT CARY HIM......

That's as real as it gets.... (Sorry Ill Seed, truth is truth)

hotrock11 said:

.....only on the internet can HATE be so prevalent.....certain artists have to literally have their whole catalogs shown before respect is given....while other ones can have superior labels attached to them before their voice is even heard.

it might surprise yall, but Hurricane can actually rap. WHOA! I know keyboards are being fired up right now. I've heard him rap on a few mixtapes, notably a lavahouse one. He had a song that was tight.

To me, I already know that first song is going to be a mainstream "i'm selling out so I can eat" song. It's the second and third single that tells you what a rapper is really about. Yall haven't even heard more than one song from him more than likely and you're already hating. Wow.

U know what mayn...i feel this...it got rap for every style/sub genre of rap u feel me...u got da Punchline battle rapper (Cassidy), U got dat conscience shit people like (Talib), u got a straight lyricist (Lupe) and u got dat boy chris...i think they shudda put Lil Boosie/Webbie or Young Buck...some fro mda south that can spit datt fiya we got but still keep it real southern u feel meh....trade talib for sumone out west and it would be a "complete show" U already got cass from da east side then ugot Lupe from da midwest chris from down south so yuh instead of Talib i would have sumone from out west u feel meh and wtf talib must be horrible in concert sumthign u can vibe to in ur ear phones some thigns u jus need energy and hype....talib aint in that lane

Yo shout out to all the people who know what a real live (hip-hop) performance is about........

Not 30 suckas on stage bumpin into each other out yellin the rappers verse before he say it. Doin stupid dances..and throwing money in the air like they doin community service or something....

Dat does not equal a live show......

Im done preachin today.... It's obvious that IGNORANCE is the new cool to a lot of people who comment on here....

I'll just shake my head from now on like I've been doin'.....RealTalk.

Love the lineup but let's face it everybody the name of this site is......ALLHIPHOP.COM!!!! Last time I checked HC is Hip Hop and for the record he is a kid. So what us in our late 20's who was raised ot lyricism and substance don't get Ay Bay Bay we were the same jackasses who thought that "All I wanna do is run my zoom zoom zoom in her boom boom" why lyrical excellence back in the day. I respect the lineup just maybe could've had a west coast representer in there to even out things. Can't make the show but I just copped Kweli's new album so I'll be enjoying that. Much love from the South!!

What's happening AHH?  Another hater in the house!!  Ya'll know most of these wack rappers wouldn't be shit without the backing of the major record companies that likes to feed poison to the minds.  Majority of ya'll best mainstream rappers not talking about a damn thang.  I wish Hurricane Chris much success because I don't hate the next man getting his money, but young bro slanging crack music like the rest of these so called "hottest rappers".  We need to stop embracing regression as a people, that shit got us in last place for real.  Some of ya'll young and don't know better but the rest that do is brown-nosing.  Mainstream radio and videos is garbage everybody hop on bandwagons just cause they play fools song 50 times a day.  I call that force feeding while other MC's have a wide array of subject matter but don't get the support because you don't see/hear them on TV or the radio.  And I'm not talking about just backpacking but I've come across underground thug MC's (LOL) that come with diversity in their songs so I know bullshit music when I hear it.  


HIP-HOP is being polluted for the mainstream
