Tribute to the Classics brought Real Hip Hop Back
by Fly009 on 2009-07-24The Opera House - TorontoThe show started off with the Beatminers getting the crowd hyped up. Then local emcee Promise took the stage and delivered a great set that ended in an accapella rap at the end. Next up was Marco Polo and Torae. At one point during the set Marco Polo and DJ Linx we're making a beat live on stage and Torae spit a great freestyle off the top of the dome. Then we moved into the headliners. Smif n Wessun and Buckshot of Black Moon [5ft got held up by immigration and not allowed to enter Canada]. The crowd went wild as they did the classics like "Black Smif N Wessun", "How Many Emcees" and more. At one point Duck Down Records CEO Dru Ha even picked up the mic and spit a verse. The night ended with Buckshot doing his verse from the collab song with KRS-ONE called "Robot". At the end of the show all the acts took the time to sign autographs and have their picture taken with fans. I also heard it ended up being a sold out event. Was a great time and awesome show.
