It's interesting that the the wall street journal is helping host this. I thought I would never see Chuck D sketched in the typical WSJ profile pic. I would have expected Questlove to have his classic hair out and a pick in it, but I can appreciate this look. Thanks for posting.
I'm not sure if any one went to this http://www.rocksteadycrew.com/page3_events/events.html but for sure these were the events to go to for hip hop in NYC/ NJ last weekend. I am bummed I missed it! I will catch it next year.
