I’m going to the Vancouver show, can’t wait!
Those of you going to the San Francisco or Los Angeles show will be pleasantly suprised. According to guerillaunion.com Talib Kweli is joining him on those dates so you’ll likely get a little Black Star action in SF and LA and yes i’m very jealous.
sorry folks i read my email wrong.
-Badu is at SF and LA
-Talib Kweli (and Hi-Tek) are at the Boston and Philly show.
Sorry if that got any of your hopes up hahaha my bad. As for you lucky bastards in Boston and Philly do not miss out on those shows.
Badu and Mos. Still sounds dope. I saw Mos and Kweli at his show at the house blues. The first time i heard Casa Bey aswell.
All the dope shows come to LA, you gotta love it!!!!
