The Rock The Bells 2010 music festival rolled into New York City on Saturday, lighting up Governors Island with an A-list of hip hop heavyweights, many performing their seminal albums in their entirety. Among the notable performers were A Tribe Called Quest, Snoop Dogg, Wu-Tang Clan, and the crown jewel of this year’s Rock The Bells, Ms. Lauryn Hill, who delighted the crowd by bringing out Jay-Z, Beyonce, Mary J. Blige, Alicia Keys and Swizz Beatz for brief cameos.
Other appearances throughout the day included Busta Rhymes and Large Professor along with ATCQ, Wiz Khalifa, Rakim, KRS-One, Jedi Mind Tricks, and more
Great (and some not-so-great) coverage of the event is beginning to trickle out to the masses, so we have decided to provide a nice, one-stop shop of links and information to satisfy those who couldn’t make the monumental event. Be sure to check back during the day, as more sources become available.
