Rakim was awesome. Period. If you want to see a real Hip Hop show. Then see Rakim or KRS-ONE.
It was just really good to be in the presence of classic hip-hop. Very intimate setting.
Rhymefest and Rakim definitely rocked the show! but the crowd was not helping. Sorry for the wack crowd. I was vibing the whole time regardless. and i definitely respected what rhymefest did for his fans
This show was so amazing! I left the El Rey both excited and exhausted; like I had performed! and all I can say is that Old Hip-Hop is just so damn sexy and so is Rakim...DAMN! and Rhymefest freestyle, he's incredible. I went to see M'chelle Ndege Ocello the week prior: awe inspiring ...but I have to say the El Rey is hands down one of the best venues in LA to enjoy an intimate concert.
Opening act (Rakim) and the real draw for the majority of the audience came on way too late. Way too late. At least three of those uninspiring, unenergetic opening acts could have been cut.
Opening acts were mediocre at best. However, Rhymefest was good. The crowd was HORRENDOUS! No participation what so ever. As the greatest rapper of all time he deserved a lot better. I wouldn't have been mad if he walked off. Just a terrible experience.
Rakim did it again. Hip hop is alive and kicking, and the House of Blues is an intimate venue to have such an event. Now can we get KRS, Kool G Rap?
Rakim was a great, but why did he have to be off by midnight in a place where most bands I've seen go on after midnight? What's with the inconsistent curfew?
Rakim was blazing and after being a fan for 23 years last night was a dream come true. Illogic and Blueprint were nice as well. The DJ from UTFO and Technician the DJ were excellent.
This was my first show, and I had never been to the Alrosa before. The show was great, my only complaints were that their ATM was out of order, and they werent opening tabs at the bar, so people were having to leave the venue to get cash, and there were equipment problems with the sound system all night. But for this being my first show, I am glad that it was to see Rakim. I would have done it a second time.
