Info your thought’s on why Nas only now tweeted that he is a co-founder and partner of Rock the Bells. I remember you mentioning it during his divorce.

Single worst lineup in the history of the event. BAR NONE! This was supposed to be a Hardcore Hip Hop show! Always was before! Missy & Timbaland? BONES?! (REALLY?!?!) Kinda sad cuz’ I’ve been to every RTB Festival in California. I’m either skipping it completely or will be leaving early cuz this lineup isn’t worth the $ you gotta shell out to go!

PNC is an outdoor venue.great venue. Awesome line up for some like myself, raised in the 90s, but hip to the new artist. Actually its perfect. Cant wait
