The Highline Ballroom might be my favorite venue in the city to catch a rap concert. The Roots have totally ruled that spot in the 2009, but I saw some other great shows there as well like Rakim, and Jadakiss. Cam’Ron also performed there this summer and that shit was a madhouse. The Highline Ballroom is going out of 2009 on a MAJOR Hip-Hop high note by hosting Mos Def this Sunday 12.20.09.
I last caught Mos Def in concert performing joints from ‘The Ecstatic’ back in August and I was loving it. The show started late but it didn’t disappoint me. You won’t be disappointed either if you come out to this LATE show.
