The 1993 Death Row Records release went quadruple platinum and has since made influential albums lists including Rolling Stone Magazine\u2019s list of Essential Recordings of the 90\u2019s and The Source\u2019s 100 Best Rap Albums. This historic set will feature guest performances by Warren G,Tha Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage and RBX. Alternative hip hop luminaries, A Tribe Called Quest, are slated to perform their coveted third album, Midnight Marauders, from beginning to end. The 1993 release was the highly anticipated, up-tempo follow up to The Low End Theory achieving critical and commercial success. Legendary producer, DJ and co-founder of revolutionary hip hop group, Gang Starr, DJ Premier will make a special appearance to celebrate the life and work of fellow Gang Starr collaborator, MC Guru. This special tribute comes in the wake of Guru\u2019s untimely passing to cancer on April 19, 2010. The innovative duo is largely credited for pioneering the hip hop sound of the 90\u2019s mixing jazz, funk and soul.

\u201cThis is one of those rare shows that lives up to the promise,\u201d states Chang Weisberg of Guerilla Union. \u201cIt\u2019s such a massive blessing to have all of these amazing performers embrace the opportunity to celebrate and unite everyone that loves Hip Hop. I woke up this morning and asked my son to pinch me because I could not believe it myself. This kind of show happens only once in a lifetime. It\u2019s a serious piece of live music history. All these records in one day? Some of the greatest records ever. I can\u2019t wait to see it!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
