Going back to Philly, Philly, Philly…
I’m going back to Philly.
Hmmmm, yeah I think so.
The Roots annual picnic is going down in Phillytown again during the first weekend in June. Along with the hardest working band of all time and the Money Makin’ Jamboyz on stage this year’s event will also host rap retro-futurists Das Racist.
Along with those acts the lineup for the show is stacked: performances from Mayer Hawthorne, The Clipse, The Very Best, Tune-Yards, Bajah + The Dry Eye Crew, Pattern is Movement, a special set with DJ Jazzy Jeff and Vampire Weekend headlining.
Last year’s picnic brought in Public Enemy to perform their greatest hits while the Roots crew held them down. The chatter is that this year’s picnic will look to be just as epic with some surprise guests on tap. You need to run, walk, drive, hop a bus or take a plane to Philly for this event.
The best part is that you could end up going to Philadelphia for free courtesy of the Philly 360° Roots Picnic Getaway Contest. Here’s what you get str8 laced with…

All of you winners need to holler at the kid so we can hang out at the show.
Vampire Weekend? Really? Jeez…, what next? I’d actually like to see some actuall Philly talent on that bill, The Roots notwithstanding. I’m gonna dig up the Rhymesayers Soundset 2010 line-up, Dallas, and you tell what’s fuxing with it. Now, where’s the email…
Yo I tried to submit info but my computer warned me about double-clicking (someone is snatching the info while you type).
