One day. Twelve stories. More than 2,500 words. All about old-school hip-hop. If 15-year-old Robert could have designed a job for 32-year-old Robert to have, it would look similar.
Here are links to some of the stories I wrote about the kickoff of the Rock the Bells tour this weekend.
Rockin' The Bells (overview) ** Uncommon Choice? (Common) ** Still Illmatic (Nas) ** Black Star, Empty Stage (Black Star) ** Shirt Love (favorite t-shirts) ** Lines of the Night (Donald Glover, aka Childish Gambino) ** Solo Wu (best Wu-Tang solo efforts) ** R&B at RtB (Erykah Badu, Ms. Lauryn Hill)
(NOTE: This post will be updated throughout Monday, August 22nd. It will be finished when this line is no longer here.)
Also, a great piece by Oliver Wang on the LA Times "Pop and Hiss" blog, about hip-hop and nostalgia. I've got my own reflections on that, as well, but that will have to wait until tomorrow.
