The DJ line-up is whats attracting me. Then I also wanna see the Federation, Smurf, Rattex and Nthabi. The b-boys and writers  should also be cool.

The rest leave me cold.

Dont mean to hate but I think if an artist/group have performed last year they need to GTFO this year and give other artists/group to perform as well.

They got Darkspark on but where the ufck is his clique, The News?  >:(

Hopefully the Jocks will have 30-45 min sets, instead of 3 tracks.


Maybe it's me, but the hype around the concert is fizzling...Bringing Doom might help (Hint)

back2dacity........as always i had a time of my life out der in the cold weather......

yo anybody know who the f*** is that "black sugar" or sum like that, who the f*** is that cat, where did Osmic get that guy?? Guy had the nerve to sing along/modify blk nd yellow nd do a bad job at it, and still say u a cheeze boy in front of such a crowd????

too much bubblegum on stage nd boom bap rap that basically is overrated, acts like Shyning Armour and sum clowns from the Vside.

big up to the local pioneeres of boom bap, THE FEDERATION, AMUNITION.....

just so ya'll know, the best part of that show was having REASON rock it....he killed it!!!

Anyone got footage?

I'd like to see the Federation and Smerf.

Post by: MOFF G on April 28, 2011, 10:50:08 AM
My downfall of this event is lack of white boy rappers, i mean cats like JACK PARROW?

but either than that, much luv to DRIEMANSKAP, REASON, GOLDEN SHOVEL, MS NTHABI, KHANYI, AKA, HHP, NOTSHI, DJ VIGILANTE....loved the set SWITCH had at the back on the red bull truck, he brought the A-game when C-LIVE was playing that bubblegum isht!!
Title: Re: BACK TO THE CITY 2k11
Post by: The Angry Hand of God on April 28, 2011, 11:30:39 AM
Is it just me or has C-live's game dropped since the 5 FM gig came along?

His show is straight horse shit, the inserts and everything about it is just horrid, and now you say his live sets are worse than Switch's? A damn shame.

You make me sound not easy on the eyes Tang. That's what he is saying.
But it's okay I'm beautiful on the inside. Kwa!

I had fun coz I was with friends. We always just create our own thing. Driemanskap and Kanyisa brought down the house, Proverb wore a cap again, left the studio to come back to the street,  Swoosh and Switch at the back there with the Bboys!Amunishin too dope, Nothende's voice!
I didn't get to see a lot of the acts, walking around looking for food, tryna keep warm, taking pics, talking.
Ondaground and Lee were okay as hosts but I done seen enough of them and most of the line up.
There are so many more people that should be on that line up.

There were lots of people. Growth for the festival. I hope Osmic's books balanced. But pantsula dancers? Come on man that's not hip, they must hop.

Purist you are Naturelle!

I followed Lee's and DJ Sbu's twitter feeds. It looked like a packed crowd. Do the organizers make decent money out of this?

RR you flew from Cape Town to Jozi for non-business activity? That's not keeping it real yo! but then again I've heard about the bad weather in the Kaap but could it be that bad really?:-\

lol

I dont know why this seems absurd for some people. people go all the way to swaziland, zimbabwe, cape town for other genres of music festivals but hardly for any hip-hop. is there no one who thinks theres a hip-hop event worth taking a flight for? nigga I can afford it so what? I still love the culture. Back To The City has the potetial to turn into an event that can be as big as the Cape Town Jazz Festival if Hip-Hoppers just supported it. as far as I know this is the best/greatest Hip-Hop event since Hip-Hop Indaba lost its mojo.

no beef, thought i'd say it.

So me pointing out that you have fly friends automatically means that I'm saying you are not fly? I call bullshit. Nat, how many times have dudes asked about your friends on some "she's fly, what's her name?" Did you feel like your own outer beauty was being shot down? What do other girls on this forum have to say about this?

Eyo Moff G man I forgot about you my bad.

Feed mafakhin' back...shyyyyyyyt...feed back as in like technically was a turn off, I'm surprised people aint mentioning this. Eyo this kid killed Dr Panic (this nikka is respected here in Cap City on a battle tip) Lol Panic tried to come back at a kid but got booed lol.

Yoooh...Mhlathi killed it and so did last year! Amuuuu....nigga performs with a cigarette and drink on stage lol and he killed it. Eh...There was a time were Selwyn was mumbling his lines and eventually asked the DJ to cut the song  :-[ So Golden Shovel performed track in vernec  :-\ The Federation was kool, Kwesta!!! (this kat is live on stage like no other, killed it without a hype man), HHP killed, AKA's fanbase WOW...Lection is DOPE f*** what you head man! It was nice to see Amu, Proverb and Selwyn performing Attention.

Reason's freestyle verse about the government was on point

That verse by Reason is no freestyle homie! I'm sure it's on one of his mixtapes. Or does freestyle equal accapela these days? None the less, he did well by reciting it.

I found Amu's entrance quite amusing. It was definitely a plus for his set. And Attention was too cool
