Sarah Godfrey on Rock The Bells

Sarah Godfrey at the WashingtonPost has a great round up on Sunday’s show. Check her out!

All of those dreams came true, if only for a day, at Sunday’s Rock the Bells festival at Merriweather Post Pavilion. Although it appears that “ring-tone rap” will be around for the foreseeable future, this year’s installment of the annual multi-artist hip-hop concert almost managed to ignore current big commercial rap stars, instead transporting attendees back to hip-hop’s golden era.

If not for a DJ briefly spinning Shawty Lo’s “Dey Know” between sets, attendees could’ve pretended they were at a hip-hop show circa 1999 — one with exceptionally good sound and no delays, that is.
