Tribe And Nas Rule Rock The Bells

A lot of folks were calling this year's incarnation of the Rock The Bells festival, which was making its first appearance on Canadian soil, the "Woodstock of hip-hop."

Wu-Tang Clan, KRS-One, Rakim, Slick Rick Playing Rock The Bells

If you miss the days of hip-hop in the late '80s and early '90s, when Eric B. and Rakim were huge, groups like Wu-Tang were just getting popular and Kanye West was probably annoying the hell out of people in grade school, you'll probably dig the lineup for this year's Rock The Bells festival.
