If you could have any hip hop act.....

...come to NZ who would it be? and where?


I have fantasies of a BDO type event but all hip hop.
But more than anything else I would like to see KRS ONE rock the St James. It would probably never happen cause I read somewhere that he is afraid of flying.

Its a toss up between Wu Tang and Tribe

Hmm., I'd go for the Wu probably. Outkast perhaps.

I'd love to see the Big Dada acts I like come over, Roots Manuva, New Flesh, TTC and cLOUDEAD, but that won't ever happen cause not enough NZers dig that type of thing. Maybe one of them will come though.

A TRIBE CALLED QUEST - reunited oooh yeah...

Can I kick it? YES YOU CAN!!!!!

Outkast are rumoured to tour down under this year, hope so cos i'm straight up lovin their beats

Roots Manuva could probably pull a decent (like-minded at least) crowd here.



Goddamn! If that Outkast rumour is true, I hope they make it here and not just Aussie.

AGUMJ - did joo not see Roots Manuva when they came for BDO 2001? They were soooo funny, even smoked a spliff on stage!

niceness!

hells yeah Outkast have been a favourite just for their madass lyrical style and fresh dressing ... they sooo crazy I love em to bits!

Q-Tip and Tribe .... legendary group that would definitely pull the numbers like Outkast ...

Wu ...dang .. its more a case of who DOESN'T wanna go to their concert!!!???

nah missed 2001 BDO.

How about all of the above in one show?

Ive seen a few live acts on tv & video but none of them appear to be as hype as a KRS set, probably cause its classic shit the crowd can respond to and chant along with(the bdp stuff) the tribe too.

Respect to the Wu and all, but everytime Ive seen them live on tv they sound really bad, all shouting and distorted. This one time they did a song that featured Redman and he blew them all away, so it couldnt have been the sound crews fault.

I guess what I really want is to go to a hip hop show and do the crowd participation stuff without feeling cheesy.

sugar hill gang
furious 5
now thats a party set up
throw yo hands in the air ......

Sugar Hill! They would do that call and response thing..

Anyway, Roots was wicked at BDO the other year and there was a good sized crowd (300ish? Its hard to guess) given his low profile in NZ, so its possible he could come back. Ninjatune are coming this way again this year I hear, maybe he'll be back with them.

Outkast - if that is true I am there

The Roots....best live act
no doubt.

ROOTS MANUVA!!
bring on dem dreamy days!
