    Wait...WHAT?

    backing band

    i hate the backing band. why is this so popular?

    i saw ra a year or so ago with kid capri on the twilz! great show! i am looking forward to the ra/ghost/ali show coming to minneap.

    backing band though? don't get me wrong, i love a good band but i'd rather hear a dj backing a rapper. unless its the roots.

    The bands that back these guys are incredible. Orgone/Rhythm Roots All Stars. Get familiar.

    I completely disagree. A good band gives an MC a better vibe to work off live than a DJ any day.

    Come on, most DJ's just hit play on the DAT and stand there mugging. I don't pay good money for a concert just to have them literaly play there record. Lyrics Born has a live band and it's the most mind blowing hip hop show around!

    Premier and a few others still hold it down with the live DJing, but the 90's are long gone!

    Yeah I'm going tomorrow. I haven't been this excited for a show in a long time.

    One of the nicest flows of any MC ever, if not the[/b] nicest.

    Is Rakim likely to be touring Europe? If he crosses the pond, Ghost will be his wingman:
