Cashmere Event Recap: Rock the Bells 2010

Monday, August 23rd, 2010

Rap legends gathered this past Saturday night in San Bernardino for Rock the Bells. Snoop Dogg, Slick Rick, the Wu-Tang Clan, A Tribe Called Quest, Rakim, and others each performed one of their classic albums from start to finish. This was an unbelievable line-up that true hip-hop fans were dying to attend.

The most anticipated performance of the night was turned in by former Fugees band member,  Lauryn Hill. L Boogie gave an amazing performance as fans were extremely happy to see her rock the stage performing her hits “Doo Wop (That Thing)”, “Lost Ones”, and the Fugee song, “Ready or Not”.

A Tribe Called Quest took to the main stage performing their legendary LP, Midnight Marauders. A revitalized Tribe Called Quest displayed why Q-Tip and Phife remain the gold standard of rap duos, trading off bars perfectly. After performing the entirety of their 1993 classic, the two brought out former member Jarobi, plus a surprise appearance from Busta Rhymes, whose spit his verse from “Scenario” that turned the head-nodding crowd into rowdy heads.

The Wu-Tang Clan (with Method Man, RZA, Raekwon, Ghostface, GZA, and Inspectah Deck all in attendance) got started on their hip-hop classic, Enter The Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), the audience responded by collectively throwing their W’s up in the air. All the Clan had to do was play “Can It Be All So Simple” and exhort crowd members to hold up their lighters and the crowd complied with sea flame began to illuminate the dark crowd.

Last, but not least, was the  headliner of the show, Snoop Dogg. Strolling onto the stage with the famous Doggystyle album cover constructed as stage backdrop, the Boss Dogg brought out a slew of guests to run through his first album, including:  RBX, The Lady of Rage, Daz, and Kurupt, with a special video cameo appearance by Dr. Dre. The Doggfather was on his home turf and sounded just as crisp as he did some 20 years ago. Snoop’s video skits gave emphasis to his performance. No other artist had the amazing video background and effects like Snoop.

Some of the Cashmere crew were in attendance, and all can attest that the long wait in line, under the hot sun was well worth it. As seeing these legends perform at Rock the Bells is a one in a life time event.

Check out some of the performances from this past weekend’s all-star musical event below.
