The Sound Academy, Toronto

He was good live but I was disappointed he didn't bring his back up singers. A lot of the backup vocals were pre-recorded. And Mos Def wasn't there so it was weird to hear the songs they sing together without him

1. improve sound system 2. sound check is a well-known method 3. improve variety of fast food offered 4. lower parking / food prices

Brilliant setting, terrible urban planning with one road in/out. Public Enemy rules.

Not in any way Groupon or Sound Academy's fault. Like almost every hip hop act, they decided to show up 2 hours after they were supposed to. Being a Thursday night, I didn't have the patience for it. They did sections of most of their songs, instead of just doing the whole thing (remember: they were there to do a single album in its entirety). As a comparison: I have seen The Hives and The Magnetic Fields at the same venue this year. Both bands have quite a few members, lots of gear, and tons of stuff to soundcheck. How come THEY were able to hit the stage on time, and two dudes who needed mics and an electrical outlet for their laptop couldn't? For shame, Pete Rock and CL Smooth. For shame.
