Old School Hip Hop
by SparkleWilliams on 3/6/24The Santander Arena - ReadingI attended the 50 years of Hip Hop, Legends of Hip Hop concert on March 3, 2024. The line up included Kid ‘n Play, Big Daddy Kane, Rakim and Doug E. Fresh. The original line up when I booked my ticket included MC Lyte, but I received an e-mail a few weeks before the show stating she would not be able to attend and Doug E. Fresh was taking her place. I was a little disappointed that Lyte would not be there because I’ve never seen her in concert, but adding Doug E. Fresh was a fantastic replacement. The show was awesome from beginning to end. Every artist came out and did their thing and transported us back to the 80’s. They also had a comedian that opened the show, but he was not funny at all. I’ve never been to this venue and was pleased with its appearance. The concession prices are sky high just like any other venue, so I won’t complain since I expected it. It was a nice experience at The Santander Arena and I look forward to attending more shows here. Hopefully they can book New Edition or BBD in the future.
