Eric B. & Rakim

Great night! Front row, great atmosphere, listened to legends, all for $20!! Would def see Rakim again, and would recommend The Varsity!

Eric B performed effortlessly and Rakims performance was everything I ever anticipated and more. He was not only an enjoyable rhymesayer but he was funny and entertaining and showed the utmost respect to the women of the audience... As well seeing his son perform and special guest YoYo was such a pleasure they all still have what makes up true hip hop I was honored to be in their presence. Seeing Philando Castiles mother on stage and taking a moment to remember and reflect was honorous. And the Painter who painted throughout the performance was incredible to watch. Thank you for this performance. My only criticism was that the bass overpowered the performance and the voices of the performer's. Keep bringing amazing performers in for us to see.

The GOD MC killed it!!! YoYo rocked it!! Eric B & Rakim was amazing! This is how a HIP HOP SHOW should be. The energy these legends gave on tilt. The House of Blues is by far the best place to watch a show. Anywhere you sit or stand is great.

Yo-Yo kicked off the night representing the West Side! She did her Thang! Eric B and Rakim Hip Hop Legends in the Culture! Don't Miss this concert! #TheTechniqueTour!

I had the best time ever! I never thought that I would get to see them live. Dreams come true!!

There was no way I was going to miss Eric B. & Rakim on The Technique Tour. It was at the House of Blues San Diego on Monday, April 30, 2018, & it was incredible. Eric B. & Rakim are not only pioneers in Hip Hop but also legendary in putting out some of the best tracks during the Golden Era. Waiting 30 years for this was well worth the wait. They went through all the hits. Yo Yo was the opening act & she had Spinderella from Salt-N-Pepa behind the 1's & 2's. Spinderella did an old school DJ set after Yo Yo & took us down Hip Hop's memory lane. If Eric B. & Rakim ever come back, I am definitely seeing them perform again & so should you.

The House Of Blues at Mandalay Bay Las Vegas we re an hour late opening the doors. That fact started to kill the vibe but once inside, the sounds of classic Hip-Hop music brought everything back to speed. Yo-Yo was the opener. She rocked the crowd with help from her DJ and Flavor Flav. Rakim was EPIC! Well worth the wait. It was good to see Eric B & Rakim together again. Flavor Flav joined them on the stage as well.

Over two hours of not Eric B and Rakim and only one hour of them. Literally had the DJ play songs (no mixing) for thirty minutes. They sounded great but cut Mahogany and My Melody short. Also didn't do Follow the Leader.

Eric B. and Rakim did not disappoint in any way. It was amazing to see them together again after so many years and they flowed like they've never been apart. The only reason it's not a 5 star review is because I wasn't into the opening act. And I love that it was at The Ritz. That venue is large enough to pack a crowd but small enough to make you feel close enough to the action from anywhere.

Me & my Man Had Such a Amazing Time it was Good seeing them guys back together and also having YO YO there as well Brought back childhood memories all in all A Great Wonderful Night

ERIC B. & RAKIM ARE LEGENDARY!!! Along with YoYo & PZB! Keep holdin it down for the REAL HIP HOP!

Witnessed 2 of the legends of hip hop put on an amazing show at the intimate Varsity Theater on Thursday evening. Eric B. & Rakim performed their classics plus some deeper tracks. Unlike other hip hop performers, Eric B. & Rakim focus exclusively on the music and put on a no-frills show that displays their pure genius.

It was a true relief to hear some TRUE HIP-HOP!! Rakim is the GREATEST MC in the game TO ME STILL!!. 90 minutes or real HIP-HOP by the greatest rapper of all time!!

Eric B and Rakim still deliver that high energy rap show even after almost 30 years!!!! A must see....

G.O.A.T.!! What a performance!! Had an amazing time enjoying one of the best in the game!!

The whole vibe and the crowd that came out for this show was everything. There was such great energy in that room - like unparalleled. Erc B. & Rakim were so strong - like it was 1986 .Loved every minute of it.

I had a wonderful time and was happy to see Eric B and Rakim together. Greg Nice did his thing, too - definitely good to see him!

Hour and a half late! Unacceptable! I felt horrible for the dj. She built some great energy in between acts, but it was all lost by the time they came on. Additionally, rakim barely rapped any popular songs, instead letting the crowd do it for him.

The show was "AMAZING" Yo-Yo came out and did her thing and Eric B and Rakim shut it down. They both put on a GREAT SHOW!!!

You couldn't hear the artists lyrics! A rap concert where you can barely make out the lyrics is a dance with music. The sound system needs work.

Great venue...Great sound system...Great crowd...Great setlist...Great performance. Well worth the ticket price.

If you weren't there, you MISSED OUT!! Had many special appearances. The GOD MC did his thing!

The show was dope, from beginning to the end. I just loved how the crowd was into the show and of course the was no violence. This is the reason I go to age appropriate shows. Them Dapper Dan jacket and coat Rakim and Eric B wore were fly. Congratulations on your 30 years. Many Hip Hop or I should say rappers today can't say that they will last this long.

One of the best shows I've ever gone to. They did all of my favorites.

The show was amazing. Took me back to my middle school days. Meeting them after the show made the night complete.

Rakim's music is timeless and his has only gotten better on stage. CLASSIC.

The gratitude and love that Rakim expressed was humbling. He's a legend and a gracious performer and they made us feel like a part of their extended family. Worth every single penny.

I love old school hip hop!! The show was amazing from beginning with YoYo as the opening act. She still can rhyme, freestyle and move!! Rakim took no breaks between songs unlike how some artist do today. I had the opportunity to do a meet and greet which cost $100 for 2 people to take a picture with Eric B and Rakim. They were so nice!! The show was sold out, the crowd was nice. If you truly love hip hop go and treat yourself!! Would definitely go again!! What more can I say great performance for 30th anniversary!! Hip hop forever!!

It was a dope show. Good vibes. Sharice and ladies at the Foundation room door were beyond amazing. Sex in da Hood was hands down the best drink. Thanks ladies for making our night better.

Eric b is a horrible DJ. Kept messing up Rakims timing and making the GOAT last look like an amateur. They came on late and the set list was shortened because of it.

This event reminded me of a baseball or football game. Better watched (or listened to) at home. Rakim did a great job, but there was some obvious fatigue between the two.

Yo-yo was a great choice to open. I've not heard her before but was glad to catch her. To invoke images of past queens of rap like mc lyte, salt n pepper, and queen latifa really put to shame to trashy female rappers of today. Props go out to her. 30 years after fresh fest and my last time seeing them, Rakim was a presence in the stage. Not missing a beat, rhymes just coming and no stumbles. No first night jitters. Eric b was spinning the wheels and created smooth blends of sounds and head pounding bass that should be reserved for cruising the strip. Head boppin, throat clearing, hand waving times were had by many. I hope to See more shows like this one soon.
