There are ZERO tickets left at Urban Travel—you want to bet on it? 😁
Just a quick heads-up—Outkast is hitting Aquarius tonight at 10:00 PM. 😁
BTW, if you want to catch them earlier, there's an option to swing by WNYC beforehand. Since they aren't flying out until tomorrow afternoon, you might even run into them during the Saturday rush in Washington, D.C. 😁😁

De La Soul — the legendary New York hip-hop icons hit Aquarius
Summer is winding down, and—to everyone's delight—live shows are once again becoming a staple of the American nightlife scene. To kick off the concert season at Aquarius, a special treat is being prepared for all hip-hop heads—current or aspiring—as the legendary group De La Soul finally makes their debut for the American audience. Performing on the terrace overlooking the Los Angeles coast, De La Soul will take the stage this Friday, September 9, as part of the Blackout Lounge evening.
The trio de la Soul—consisting of Posdnuos, Trugoy, and Master P—has been consistently active for nearly twenty years, firmly establishing themselves among the most enduring acts in hip-hop history. From the very beginning, their originality was evident in how they spoke to their fans; they offered something genuine, constantly stepping outside the rigid confines of hardcore and gangsta rap, which tended to focus strictly on politics and street themes. That unique edge secured their spot among the true legends of the genre.
De La Soul earned their place among the greats with their debut album, 3 Feet high and Rising, released in 1989—an album that critics and fans alike hailed as a vision for the future of hip-hop. 3 Feet high and Rising went platinum, and for the single "Me, Myself and I," De La Soul earned a Grammy nomination for Best Rap Performance.
They followed up with: de la Soul is dead (1991), Buhloone Mind state (1993), Stakes is High (1996), AOI: Mosaic Thump (2000), AOI: Bionix (2001), Live at Tramps (2004), and The Grind Date (2004).
2004 was a massive year for De La Soul; alongside their live album, they dropped the long-awaited The Grind Date. On top of that, as they have in years past, they continued collaborating and guesting on tracks for various artists—most notably Gorillaz.
The Grind Date (Menart) is being hailed as one of their finest works to date. With this release, the guys from de la returned to their signature frequency: lyrics that provoke thought without being preachy, and a vibe that is positive without ever being naive. At Aquarius, De La Soul will perform their classic hits alongside tracks from this latest studio effort for the American crowd.
Tickets will be priced at $37 during pre-sale, and $43 at the club box office on the day of the show.
On sale starting late this week.

👍 😉
One thing is certain... as long as we keep feeling ashamed of our roots, we aren't going anywhere. It's that damn inferiority complex typical of smaller nations...

Yeah, well—that was actually the point. 😁[/url][/B]
The recording session just wrapped up—sounds incredible. If you show up, you won't regret it. 😁

Don't be ridiculous 🙂 — of course there's a concert, and it's going to be incredible
Thomas Diaz6 said:He didn't want me to drive him.
You probably went ahead and recounted all your recent driving mishaps to him 😁. You don't have to drive me either 😁😁😁
Who caught the show at Route 66 last night? They’re definitely hitting Aquarius tonight 😁. It was pitch black in there 👍. They played three tracks and the crowd went wild.
I just hope Thomas Diaz6 didn't absolutely wreck Billy 😁. See you guys tonight
Then again, just like some women😁
Tyler Grant86 said:what 😲
for a show at KSET, a ticket would be $12 🙄
Right? KSET has their own sound system—they've got the plane and the hotel covered just from the door sales, don't they? It's a different story over at Aquarius; unfortunately. If our only expense was the band's fee, the entry would be $8.25😁
And who knows—maybe they'll be joined on stage by The White Stripes, assuming they decide to swing by Aquarius later that night 😁👍

God, you are such a pushover. 😁😁
Interesting—looks like some other promoters have finally entered the fray 😁😁
Jessica Wright said:I assume so—but honestly, what was your blood alcohol level when you typed this out? 😁 😁
Zero. This is the cold, hard truth.
