You didn’t stay for all of Rage!? You have got to be kidding me, that was the highlight of the show. I have to say, the crowd was pretty lame until Wu & Rage came on. Other than this oversight, good article.

I actually wasn’t trying to bash any of the Paid Dues artists, I’m fans of a lot of ‘em — pretty much all of ‘em, in fact. But having to choose between them and the acts of the main stage, there was really no choice for me. If seeing Living Legends perform (which I have in the past, and they’re the shit) is worth $100, then seeing The Roots perform was worth like $500 to me. Also, a lot of people on Paid Dues I had seen before, most of the people on the main stage I had not seen before (except Wu-Tang, but I’d watch them perform every day if I could). Thanks for the comment, Mikey.

I was at the show too and it was intense. I caught some second hand pepper spray to the face about a half dozen times during the Rage set. Its too bad that you missed EPMD and Pharohe Monche. Pharohe was amazing, he came out with a live band and back-up singers. The crowd wasn’t feeling EPMD enough so that was kind of a bummer. My only problem with your blog is the Paid Dues Stage bashing. There were a lot of well established independent acts who put on good sets. Mr. Lif was good, Cage was wild, Sage Francis was in top form as always and Brother Ali killed it. The biggest bummer of the day was the whole Nas ordeal.

I have been looking for some good reviews of the show and by far this has been the best, most detailed one. Some of them didn’t sound like they knew what they were talkin’ about. Good job!

Meth did crowd surf, twice actually.

Funny how the most energetic performers there — Meth and Cypress Hill — are also the biggest (publicly-known, at least) potheads. That should be America’s angle on anti-drug PSA’s: “Don’t smoke weed… but if you REALLY want to, smoke it constantly and into your adult years.”

Did Meth crowd surf?
