Yes, ladies and gentlemen it's that time once again… the announcement of this years Rock The Bells. I was just going to post the flyer, but I think letting Supernatural introduce the artist lineup to you in rhyme would be a better look. As always, Guerilla Union does not disappoint with their cast of artists… plenty of OKP favorites this year (more surprise guests will be announced). Follow me after the jump for the full flyer.












one word… incredible. supernat got flows for days! if u havent heard his S.P.I.T. album ur missin out on some of the illest story tellin hip hop has ever heard! damn i wish tours like these would come to my town
YES IN DEED, NAS STOP SLEEPIN ON THESE YOUNG CATS,,A LOT OF THEM ARE NOT DIEIN,,SO HIP HOP IS STILL ALIVE AN BREATHIN A LOT OF HEAT,,,LOVE THE LINE-UP
This is the type of tour that YOU DO NOT MISS. I dont care where you are from, travel to the nearest city that offers this show. Being from Kansas City myself, I have traveled to Chi-town for the last couple of years for this show. Well worth the price for EVERYTHING. Real hip hop is this tour
man this line up looks whack… first and second years where tight! didnt go last year, but this line up is nothing compared to previous years.. eyedea? sage francos, mop? i mean come one… there are better mcs out there.. low budget crew, blu n exile, etc
whats up w. Nas and Damian Marley being listed together. Are they performing together?
wow… looks dope but definitely some questionable picks there. sage francis? House of Pain?Buckshot on the same level as mickey factz?
still probably gonna go but i felt like hating for a sec.
i can’t hate on this lineup.
it’s gonna be all love in miami. can’t wait
Pleeeeaaaaaaasssssseeee come to Bmore!
I hope i can go this yr. I went to two years ago and I loved it. Last year i had to work the same day and was pissed. I can’t wait
OMG – how does Supernat do it? It has to be some otherworldly ish – well, I guess that would explain his name, huh?
supernat always impresses me
honestly, it is still dope, but not as good as last year
TO Deezy, it will be in the area, It says DC but you know that’s relative. It could be Northen VA, or Merriweather post pavillion. Either way it’s manageable, I was prepared to go to NYC, Boston anywhere on the eastern seaboard to see this show. I was there the entire time last year and it was WORTH IT!
Come to ATL!! I would go if GU did. D.C is the closelest place to where I’m at. Love the Lineup. Even though it’s more vets than rookies.
they skipped Texas again. geez. no love on this side.
:-/
DETROIT!!! PLEASE. GET A VENUE ACTUALLY IN THE CITY
SLUM VILLAGE they came out of Nowhere with that one Finally the”D” is taking it back
peace to eLZhi,Baatin,YoungJ,Scrap DIRTY,T3 for doing this shi they way it was.
Hey look dont complain dont cry dont wine.. just appreciate hip hop in all of its purist forms people.. its not just a boom boom bap anymore.. its a broader music so just chill and if it aint in your town then fly yo stanky ass to the closet venue. I flew to NYC for my participation in the 09 Lupus DIlla tribute.. Y? because I am Hip Hop and nothing stops me.. what supernatural just did should be the number one Hit on You tube or whatever website you look at for videos, not the bullshit that 50 and Ross or Bow WOw and Soilder boy do on a daily basis.. Put the Essence back in front not the Present bullshit.. Peace..
Supernat is that dude.
OKAY where r red and meth, DOOM and blu and exile they needed to be added to the bill yesterday. i will be @ the chicago show but the need to amp this up a bit!
Sage and Dolan!!! Where’s Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip??!!
Man, I’m so bummed out. They came to Dallas on a tuesday night first Rock the Bells and the crowd wasn’t even half full. It was one of the tightest concerts ever even though half the acts no-showed (i assume cuz they didnt pull enough tix to pay everybody). Dallas let me down so much that night. I was also let down at how many times the guys on stage talked ish about how many empty seats there were.
There’s not even a RtB within 3 states year. WTF?
Torontoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
Last year was fucking dope. Can’t wait.
yesssssssssss. they murdered Miami last year..I’m hyped for this set with the new additions. Love Love
Alot of Rookies I don’t know about, but Nas Talib Common Slaguhterhouse and the Roots are worth every penny. I’d go to Hanna Montana if these cats were coming. See ya’ll in Chicago. and I don’t know who reads these, but TALIBBB KWELIII, if you read this, I’ve seen you 3 times in the last 2 years and you haven’t performed Memories????? Please bring that track.
my god.. supernat is stupid dumb…
that made my week… i lost my mind
Crazzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyy….
We want to see the Rock The Bells show in Dallas,TX. Come on show us some love
Yayuhhhh Common! Red n method! N murs!!!
Scratch red n method that was last yr lol
Damian marley!!!
nothing beats the rock the bells in LA the year wu-tang clan, roots, and rage against the machine were there.
Not from the MIA but hey I must say we represented hella hard last year 08 RTB.. TRIBE, NAS, DELA, RED/Meth/Ghost Rae, Dead PRez, etc.. umm yeah MIA show was hot thats why it was added again… for the third time…
This is dope but I think last years lineup we a tad bit crazier but I will be there for sure!!! But what’s up with not having little brother or K-Os in the lineup??!
I was waitin for Nat to slip up! I woulda fugged up at the 1 minute mark.
TX stated the lineup is “whack”…then went to list MOP as part of the whackness, I can’t see why anyone would say a show with nas, common, slum village, mop, alchemist, roots reflection eternal ect…could be whack
WTF?! RTB has only come to ATL once! Whats good with that?
people need to stop complaining about the lineup! appreciate hiphop in a variety of forms!
BRING ROCK THE BELLS BACK TO AMSTERDAM!!!!
BOSTON!!!! bet Mr Lif and Acrobatik will show
Damn….B-Boy’s don’t hate me for saying this……but they had me at House Of Pain! Slum Village too? Count me in!
This is going to be a show that I will never forget! Chi Town baby I dont even have 2 travel. EV/ Kweli and Blackthought My 3 favorite artists of all time. I think I just shit my pants with excitement.
Compared to the previous lineups, this one is a tad weaker. However, I have never seen KRS before. Everyone else i have seen. KRS will be sparking MAD IZMS!!
CHI CITY STAND UP!!!!
Yo you gotta hit the city where the country started in the first place. P-H-I-L-L-Y YAMEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PHILLY IS ALREADY STANDING. ONE
yo why the hell aint murs evidence and the roots not makin it to Toronto there’s no way the show will be half as good with out them
damn i really hope i can GO!
Murs & The Roots?! & KRS! damn!
imma save my money for this :]!!
where are the ladies @? Seriously.”
