AFA '08 - Special Ed, Rage, and Big Daddy Kane (Aug 08)
Kane, Special Ed, Lady of Rage, Swamphouse, and NoTryDo.Sincere all performed on Saturday night. Let's start at the top:
Kane put on a great show and still has the voice we knew from back in the day. He did all the classics, and was not peddling new stuff that nobody wanted to hear. After jumping into the crowd for a song, Kane remarked about how tired he was - he'll be 40 soon! Scoob Lover and Kane and did some old school dances for a finale (and probably got medical attention afterwards).
Special Ed was also very good in concert and even did his verse from the Crooklyn sountrack! Afterwards he hunt out singing CDs (his new one: "Still got it made") and posters. I spoke with him for a few minutes and he was was a nice guy just enjoying the festival crowd. Hard to believe Ed was 36!
The Lady of Rage did a surprisingly good show and the crowd showed her a lot of love. She was the first to admit "I don't have many songs that y'all know, but let's have some fun!" She did her biggest hit, Afro Puffs, but also did some familiar verses from the Dogg Pound album that I had forgotten (but I still knew some of the words)
Swamphouse didn't belong on stage in my opinion, although some of the other artists in between the headliners did a very nice job. NoTryDo.Sincere's drumline was a nice change of pace.

Like a few acts during the weekend, Kane got down into the crowd
