Okay, this is the second time that I have went to see De La. Both times the show started at 7:00pm and both times (and especially this time) De La Soul didn't come on stage until close to midnight. Then in this case they closed the theater at 12:30am. Dres from Black Sheep joined them on stage this time and he ripped it up. The problem is that De La's portfolio is so vast that they just scratched the surface in the minute amount of time that was allowed. That was disappointing. Also Mase knocked his laptop over and the music stopped for about 10 minutes. Wow. These guys are supposed to be the Hip Hop standard and they put on an amateur display.
Big ups to Special Ed and Jeru, they kept the fire burning. PR and CL, uh, not so much and they were my favorites.
Mick Boogie is one of the hottest DJ's on the planet right now. Keepers should always include him in their showcases. People should come out and support this venue.

DOPE SHOW!!!! Every act that performed ripped it. I missed some of Jeru's set, but he ripped it, Special Ed ripped it, Pete Rock and CL Smooth MURDERED it and De La bought it all the way home. Akron Civic Theatre was a sight to behold. it was definitely worth the 2 hour drive from Pittsburgh.

Once again, Akron's Keepers of the Art (KOTA) put on yet another excellent, drama-free, awesome night of Hip-Hop!! The 5th Hip-Hop Showcase may have been the best one yet, and if not the best then definitely in the top 2! All original elements of the culture were represented: b-boying, mc'ing, dj'ing, and graffiti art (in the form of digital backdrop imagery while the artists performed). Great true school acts and each performed magnificently, especially my favorite group De La Soul! I have 2 criticisms, one small and one bigger. As awesome a venue as the venerable Civic Theatre is, this review would garner a 5 star rating if it were held in the Lock 3 pavilion as has been the case the previous 4 years. However, hopefully this will open more opportunities for more hip-hop shows at the Civic. Also, the After Party was pretty terrible-charging $15 for a party in a hallway is NOT the move! Other than those 2 things, this was a perfect event!

I loved-loved-loved the show. The performance was without a doubt, LIVE. De La Soul put on a wonderful show, i felt like I was in a dream. The hype before the show was even exciting, people were taking things back to the old school by break dancing. I support real hip hop, especially old school even though I was born just 2 years after De La began. Grown folks ask me "what you know about....?" I say 'good music has no age limit'. Great artists like De La Soul have been doing their job by outreaching. They have this certain vibe to them, that when you hear just one song - you know exactly who they are! that is hip hop.

This show was great from the head-liner to closing band. Energy never stopped, no lull in the beat, booty did not stop shaking. A venue that small with these bands is the ONLY way to do it!

May I preface this review by saying this is my favorite hip hop group to lay a track down. From the onset I knew looking at this show objectively would become an exercise in futility as I found my love for these three trendsetters rekindled by the first scratch from Maseo. This show was intended to celebrate their 20 year anniversary of the groundbreaking album, "Three Feet High and Rising". Celebrate was indeed their achievement, and they pulled the eclectic crowd in with them. They spanned their catalog with an effortless flow from song to song, as the three merry pranksters bounced their middle aged posteriors around the stage like a group of weed laced teenagers. Although never scared to confront a serious topic (see their 2001 album, "A.O.I. Bionix"), this show was purely for the light of heart, and feet. Staying still was as difficult a task as searching First Avenue's dingy lighting for where the herbal smoke scent was rising from. Plain and simple, De La Soul killed it. It was wonderful to catch up after many a year, and dead hair follicles, with three soulful "buddies".

Kenan Bell opened. He was different, but I was feelin' the beats and the lyrics. I purchased the CD and it was just as good. Great stage presence and he got the crowd involved.
Maceo's artist is raw. He is true hip-hop. Raps with a message and/or a story. No 'Stanky Legs' or 'I'm a Jerk.' Finally a real hip-hop artist. I anticipate his album.
De La Soul after 20 years is still rising. They hit on all the greats. Talked a little too much, but DAMN is was great to see them still together and still making music. I would never miss the opportunity to see a De La concert...and if you miss this...then you lose.

Fams of the group got a chance to hear favorites like Jenifah, Potholes and Saturdays and I am sure the many folks just our for a good time could recall songs like Me Myself and I and Ooh Ooh. Opening act was pretty weak and was kind of counter to the rap style of the group but the headliner did a good job.

They definitely put on a great show. The band was awesome. I couldn't stand still throughout the entire show, even though there wasn't much room to really even move. For all of you real hip hop fans who remember when hip hop was a form of expression and represented the society's issues and difficulties of the time you will appreciate this show. It takes you back to when lyrics actually meant something instead of the garbage that is played on the radio today. A time when entertainers actually had to have talent to become famous....and these guys definitely have the talent.

De La Soul brought it last nite: eyeknow, saturdays, potholes, bizness, oooh, Feel Good Inc. & opened rhyming on The Clash's "Radio Clash." The encore also included a tribute to Run DMC. This performance was a major improvement on their appearance at Pitchfork Music Fest. Plug on!

The show was awesome! They sounded as good as they did in 1989! Kenan Bell was the opening band and they were great. I would have liked to have heard them play a bit longer. We actually talked to Kenan Bell after the show and bought a CD which I highly recommend.

De La Soul is on their 20 year anniversary tour. The show was hot - kinda old school vibe - just straight MCing. Good to see Maceo comin from behind the tables and rocking the crowd with real energy. "Rock Ko.Kane Flow" and "Me Myself & I" got the biggest crowd responses. Openers were eh. De La kept the set short, but I guess that's how you keep the crowd wanting more?

This event was fun but nothing special. De La was only on stage for about an hour - not long enough for the price of the tickets. Also, while performing most of their songs they stopped about halfway through, they would play a song for about a minute (if that) and then switch. Overall I was left unsatisfied.
