Minutes ago, Guerrilla Union announced more information on their 2010 Rock The Bells lineup.
In addition to album-based performances by Slick Rick, Rakim, KRS-One and Wu-Tang, a slew of other artists are on the festival bill.
To be headlined by former Fugees songstress/emcee Lauryn Hill, the famed summer Hip Hop festival will also feature such as Virginia veterans The Clipse, Pittsburgh’s Wiz Khalifa (DXnext alum), Alabama’s Yelawolf (DXnext alum), Minneapolis’ Brother Ali, Paid Dues founder Murs and partner 9th Wonder, as well as Harlem’s Immortal Technique, Philadelphia’s Jedi Mind Tricks and the Bay-meets-Los Angeles Street Sweeper Social Club, led by Boots Riley of The Coup. G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam’s Big Sean will also be performing.
A portion of the proceeds will go to Hip Hop For Haiti, a charity established to provide earthquake relief from this year’s tragedy.
UPDATE #3: Weeks after Guerilla Union founder/CEO Chang Weisberglater said that Lauryn Hill will not be listed on the bill and urged fans and rumor mongers to “stay tuned,” a press release was issued saying Hill would perform selections from The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. The elusive Hill will perform at the Los Angeles, New York and Washington D.C. venues.
In addition to Hill’s performances, Snoop Dogg will also serve as a headlining performer at the San Francisco, New York and Washington D.C. venues. Snoop and A Tribe Called Quest will continue this year’s theme of paying tribute to classic albums by performing Doggystyle and Midnight Marauders respectively. Award-winning producer, deejay and founding Gangstarr member, DJ Premier rounds out the list of new additions to this year’s Rock The Bells series.
HipHopDX will keep you updated with further lineup details, dates and venues and more Rock The Bells information.
Not the best lineup they’ve ever had but I wouldn’t pass it up if they came close to where I’m at. I’ll never forget the first time I went in 2006 when Lauryn was the surprise guest and damn near got booed off stage by a crowd tired of waiting for Wu-Tang. Hope it goes better for her this time around.
I’m thinking big things for lauren hill on this tour, this is monumental, bringing back the 90s vibe. I’m surprised they didn’t try to bring some 90s bad boy onto this cuz that’s the vibe on here. Puff just different now, movie star get him to the greek, lol
I was expecting more. Really wanted to see Fashawn and Blu on this one but L boogie should be nice. I just hope she not on some far out shit.
wtf? lauryn hill wasn’t announced i’m at the launch party right now fam
Yo they rly only goin to 4 cities? and no reflection eternal? roots? nas?
What are the dates for this? please!
dude what the fuck 4 cities? no way. i just started bumpin khalifa and there is no denver show what the fuck mayne. they better add more cities to that there list
That’s what I’m sayin!
Wiz is cool that deal or no deal album was not bad hope the best for him.
Taylor gang or suck gucci manes dick and get anal raped by Wayne
So far this lineup is NO COMPARISON to the past couple years WTF. Looks like I’ll be skipping out this year!
Good. You won’t be missed.
I’ll go this year, the line up aint really bad at all imo
Yo, this line up is fucking wack. Murs and 9th the hottest on it. Immortal tech. and Jedi Mind Tricks aint bad neither. And don’t let them get you gassed up, Lauryn Hill will not be there. The first year was the best. Tribe, Nas, Mos, Meth, Red, Rae, Ghost, De La Soul, Immortal Tech, Dead Prez, Cool Kids, Kidz In The Hall, B-Real, Supernatural, And Pharcyde. All these other rock the bells dont hold a flame to the first one.
first of all the line up you named was not the first year of rock the bells…second if you’ve seen Murs once you’ve seen murs every other time he performs. also immortal technique is not a very enjoyable show, all dude does is yell and bring down the vibe. can’t speak on JMT. Can agree that this years line up is pretty weak besides the whole album concept from wu, krs, rakim, and rick the ruler. should have tried to mirror the paid dues fest a bit more.
Everybody got something to say these days. Even when they have nothing to say. If you’re gonna bitch about shit all day, at least have the decency to know what the fuck u are talking about.
i’m hoping they add more dates. seen all these acts before, but my friends planned on visiting chicago this summer hadnt seen all of them. lets hope for more dates added
WTF!? No Denver?? Wiz is tha shit! OJ kush presciption keep me way over tha buildin
To the many fans of Ms. Lauryn Hill who were hoping to see her perform soon,
Like you, we were really excited to hear that Ms. Hill might be appearing at
the prestigious Rock The Bells 2010 festival. But as quickly as she was
“announced”, they retracted her confirmation and now it seems to be just
another internet rumor.
But she WILL be making a special headline appearance at our 32nd Annual
Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa (Sonoma County) CA this June 13 (the 3-day
festival runs June 11, 12, 13 and tickets are available now).
We hope her fans will consider coming to show their support of her and her
music at our festival, which is at the Sonoma County Fairgrounds in the San
Francisco North Bay. Other performers include Slightly Stoopid, Steele
Pulse, Galactic, Zappa Plays Zappa, Rebultion, and many more, plus keynote
Speakers, the Eco Rally! Sports Zone, Eco Village, 300+ global marketplace,
camping, and fun for the whole family!

How is Slick Rick, Wu Tang, KRS- one, Murs, 9th, Jedi, immortal, and RAKIM THE FUCKING GOD , a wack line up? Do you really listen to music or do you just skim through it? haha If you think the line up is bad, then your opinion on hip hop is no longer valid. I’m pulling your card.

How the FUCK is there any hate going on towards this lineup? Are you fucking kidding me? Fucking ignorant hip-hop fans…Wu-Tang? The Tribe? The Teacha? This show is going to be CRAZY!
Shiet, L Boogie performing Miseducation, Tribe performing Midnight and Wu performing 36 chambers? I might have to go to this
