Slick Rick & Rakim

Favorite moment: When Rakim got on the turntables and did a little scratching. I didn't know he could do that. @

I had a great time. Dj Kaos kept the crowd moving the whole night playing my favorite songs. Nothing But Real Hip Hop. Slick Rick was the best. It took Rakim a while to come out but it was worth the wate. Rakim looked so good.The atmosphere at the Haward theatre was real cool.

Favorite moment: Slick Rick doing his signature dance at the end of his performance, and Rakim
when he performed "PAID IN FULL". @

Opening act(s): The Dj,(Chaos) also made it nostalgic with his mix of various old school hip hop artist that got the crowd hyped! @

I love old school hip hop, my opinion is real music with heart and substance, and everything from what Dj Chaos mixed, to all the songs performed by both artist, made this a very memorable show! It really brought back some fond memories of growing up and what fun things that were going on while these artists were making names for themselves. I'd see them again and again! 4 stars!!!

This was my first time being in the Howard Theatre since it has been renovated and reopen. And it's a great looking theatre, they did a great job. And the show was great. Slick Rick was great and I really enjoyed him. But Rakim was at a different level and different vibe. Really great show. So many memories flooded to the surface with all the old school music DJ Kos was playing. Who did a great job of keeping the show moving.

My husband and I both thought Slick Ricks time has come and gone. His music didn't go with his lyrics the worst performance I have ever seen. The DJ rocked the house, Rakim didnt miss a beat it was1988 all over again loved his performance. He should have done the show alone.

Slick Rick and Rakim killed it. It was great to reminisce and rap some of the dopest hip hop cuts from back in the day. The atmosphere was live and people were all in their right minds. A success!

Being a native New Orleanian I was excited to see that Soul Rebels was coming to town. However, they did not play long and I didn't really get the New Orleans vibe that I was hoping for. I'm not a Slick Rick fan so while I enjoyed his performance, we left before he finished the set.
Rare Essence came on first and did a great job warming up the crowd and paying tribute to the late great Chuck Brown!

Showcase live is definitely a nice area to hang out. Serving staff is somewhat prompt and you get your food quickly.
For the event there was a Dj who at first played- that was nice to hear some music while we waited. Would have been helpful if they mention on the event detail the DJ was playing late as I made plans to meet people some place else.

Slick Rick only did 30minutes but that's ok as the other entertainers were fairly decent.

I ALWAYS LOVE GOING TO SHOWCASE LIVE. BUT SLICK RICK WAS HORRIBLE. I MEAN I KNOW HE DOES NOT DANCE, BUT GEES LOUISE. HE COULD HAVE SOME KIND OF DANCERS OR SOMETHING.
HE STOOD THERE WITH HIS HAND IN HIS POCKET LIKE HE WAS SCARED TO TAKE IT OUT, LIKE IT WAS GOING TO FALL OFF HIS SHOULDER..
NEVER AGAIN!
