To say that the Hit Squad Reunion show at the BestBuy Theatre was epic would be the definition of the word understatement. Hip-Hop hasn’t looked that good to my eyes in a very long time. The old and the new all in the same building. No compromises. No exceptions. No wack emcees. And all of this taking place in Times Square on a Friday night. This might as well have been 1992 instead of 2012 with all the Polo in the building.
Timeless Truth got things on and popping with their opening set. They were so on point that Erick Sermon asked me, “Who were them Puerto Rican dudes? They nice.” LOL.
Timeless Truth was nice and they had to be on this night. The Hit Squad doesn’t carry that name around for nothing. No matter who they brought onto the stage it was nothing but real classic Hip-Hop hit music.
Our man on the ground with the steadycam ToneRiggz caught some dope ass footage from the event. If the Hit Squad Reunion comes to a concert hall in your area don’t be a crumb and miss this show or Keith Murray might have to slap you in the mouf.
I literally lost my shit when Red brought out Meth. Red and Meth are still one of the most exciting combos in the rap game.
The night ended properly too with the ‘Headbanger’ [ll].
The Combat Jack crew outdid themselves with this show. This was a classic, end of the world, 2012 omega level show. If you had the chance to come to this show but didn’t, kill yourself.
damn that looks sick!
Redman is truly one of the under-heralded greats– ALWAYS a terrific MC, one of the handful of best live performers too. I hate to say Meth is an underachiever by comparison because his best stuff is fantastic and together they kill but…
DP, can’t wait for Reggie on the radio show!
