I had thought this was going to be a comedy concert (and that would be great), but then I read about the lineup... The Roots, Kanye, Talib Kweli, Jill Scott, the reformed Fugees, Common, Dead Prez, etc!! No crap P. Diddy or 50 Cent, just the very best hip-hop going. Unbelievable.

I can't wait to see it, and while I was originally hoping for Dave, Dave, and more Dave, now I'm hoping that the musical acts get full play.

And I know most everyone knows Kanye and The Roots and the Fugees, but I hope this turns people on to Jill Scott. IMO, she's not only one of the greatest singers of the day, she's also a musical genius. The way she bridges everything from hip-hop to soul to jazz, gospel, blues without watering down any of it or coming off as merely a dilettante is just amazing.
