PAID DUES 2010

[Sushov23]

So paid dues is happening this year. April.3rd. The lineup comes out Feb. 1st. Hopefully this lineup is great like last year.

[GnarVee]

FELT MOTHERFUCKERS.

slug/murs/aesop rock

BRING IT.

[Mickjagger00]

I'm sure of it

[zimmy1222]

why wouldn't felt be there? Murs practically puts the fucking festival on.

Fugees reunion...
and the rest of LL.

That would get me down there.

[WhyTheLongFace]

Fugees reunion..

Not happening at Paid Dues.

[seandlr]

Felt will most likely be there. I'm hoping Murs re-invites Blu and Exile.

[zimmy1222]

Not happening at Paid Dues.

No shit Sherlock, did you figure that out all on your on?

[BigBryan]

FELT seems like the leading choice to headline this. Who else has new/relevant material that DIDNT tour with Rock the Bells last year? Souls of Mischief just came out with a new album.
Maybe Mystic Journeymen?
Wale?
Grouch and Eligh
Zion-I and the Grouch
Slaughterhouse seems like a no brainer as well, but they were brought in as "special guests" last year, maybe Royce solo?

[seandigi]

Cannibal Ox, or just Vast Aire would be nice.

Cannibal Ox, or just Vast Aire would be nice.

megalon is practically homeless right now. dudes brain is pretty much fried, cannibal ox won't happen. saw vast aire solo about a year ago and it was one of the worst performances i've ever seen in my life.

i've lost all interest in paid dues at this point. lineup never does anything for me. i saw felt once and it was great, but i wouldn't go out of my way to see them again, especially after this new album, shit is pretty horrible.

Mos Def and not to mention he actually put out something good unlike Felt

Madvillan.

Murs owns Paid Dues..

[dezzz314]

Blu&Exile
J. Cole
Wale
Slaughterhouse
FELT
Grouch and Eligh and the rest of the LL..

I hope Brother Ali is there again. He was crazy last year.
Mos will definitely not be there. Maybe at Rock the Bells again like in 08?

[BigBryan]

For what its worth, Guerrilla Union added Mos Def as a late headliner to the during the Paid Dues "tour" in 2008 to the Berkeley show which was eventually canceled. Id always assumed it was because of poor ticket sales.

I dont think MURS owns Paid Dues, but he has a deep business relationship with Guerrilla Union as does Cypress Hill.

he does he does. or co'owns it with GU. that year you're talking about he slost $50,000 cause of low sales.

[Californicator]

Does anyone else find it amazing that Ice Cube is still performing? How sick would it be if Chris Tucker came out on stage and they did the whole Friday movie live...

[BigBryan]

No complaints about that lineup really, though thats the biggest amount of names that they've ever announced for the paid Dues fest. Biggest standouts to me right now are the Dogg Pound and Freestye Fellowship as I dont think GU has ever booked them before. It'll be interesting to see if anyone gets booked for Rock the Bells later this year.

[PJandBompton]

Hopefully Rock the Bells gets Mos Def and J. Cole...props to Paid Dues for putting Dom Kennedy on the lineup...

[Devin the Dude]

damn. can't miss this.

[WhyTheLongFace]

God damn I said nothing but Editors and Coachella but I may have to save my pennies for this

[seandigi]

I probably wont make the trip out to Cali for this. But... Freestyle Fellowship would be a nice act to see. I have never seen all of them, only Mikah and Aceyalone.

[BigBryan]

Yea Im not planning on making the trip down from the bay area for this. I like the lineup and most of the acts and would be interesting seeing many on there that I havent yet, but Im really saving up for Coachella this year. GU got me and my buddies to make a trip down for the Smokeout Festival a few months ago.

I always go to Rock the Bells anyways which always trumps Paid Dues anyway.

[gmoneyak]

Just saw this... Freestyle Fellowship would be awesome to check out, their 1st two albums were classics. I was actually just wondering what Aceyalone was up to these days.

Add Cube, Murs, Raekwon, Dilated, PUTS, Del, and this definitely seems worth the ticket to me.




EDIT;



Sick.. circa '93

[gmoneyak]

Last one..

This was the B-Side of "Bullies Of The Block", also released in '93.. Again, ahead of it's time;

[alex gardner]

wow i will go ahead and eat my words now. what the fuck? ice cube? jay electronica? raekwon? freeway and jake one? this is paid dues?

wow. i am very, very impressed. will do my best to not miss this shit.

[alex gardner]

r.a. the rugged man too. damn i want to go now.

Felt is only Slug & Murs, Aesop Rock is not a member of the group. The Grouch Produced their first album, Ant produced the 2nd album and Aesop Rock produced their most recent album.
