Super Fresh Hip Hop Fest

Let's start with the problems first...the earlier weather caused perilous travel, Doug E. Fresh, Kwame and EPMD could not make it and the show started at least 80-90 minutes late! Now the good thing was that the crowd was hyped up and patient at the same time. I didn't hear anyone around me complaining about the delay of the show and that was partially because DJ Chill Will had everyone entertained with his mixes. Finally, the artists starting popping out on the stage, one at a time...Chubb Rock, Dana Dane, Special Ed and finally Monie Love and they all shared the stage, while taking turns spitting out rhymes. People were on their seat and if the weather had not been snowing, the roof would have been on fire! Kool Moe Dee and his crew followed and it seemed as though the flame had died a bit and much of the audience were seated and I guess, catching their breathes, but who were they catching their breathes for? The notorious, OG, prince of making money and disrespecting women, Too Short! I was a little bit out of my element as a 50's baby, which weren't called out, but by the look of the many people (women) who were standing and bouncing and speaking back to Too Short when he'd say his "favorite word", he was a favorite for these insane hip hop lovers. I needed a barf bag... Last, but not least, we were entertained by one of the first, all female hip hop groups from Queens, NY... Salt N Pepa with their DJ Spindarella back on the turntables! Although I believe it was past midnight, Salt N Pepa brought the needed energy...the crowd was still charged up and showing a lot of love for these sexy ladies. I was glad to have been in the building, although I originally was interested in seeing the legend, KRS-1, who'd bowed out after a postponed show.

The show was not organize to me. Due to the weather conditions Doug E Fresh, Kwame were not there. They offered refunds for that before you entered. They never mentioned that EPMD was not there or that they was not performing. Highly pissed that they did not perform, that's who I came to see. Chubb rock, salt n pepa, monie love, Dana dane, Kool moe Dee, special Ed ...they were ok. Loved too short of course but DAMN I would have loved to see Doug e and epmd, paid too much money for tickets to see only who performed. Not a happy camper!!!'

This was a great concert, and we had a great time. Nothing like REAL Hip Hop music. Unfortunately a couple of the artist was not in attendance due to the snow storm. Would have been even better if they would have performed.

The show was AWESOME!!!! All of the performers were great! A little disappointed a few of the artists didn't show up but overall was a good show.

I don't like the fact that they were promoting one of my favorite groups (EPMD), but they didn't perform. We were told about some of the performers not being there due to the weather. However, EPMD was not one of them that they mentioned. The reason I purchased the tickets was to see EPMD, Salt N Pepa, and Too Short. I don't feel I got my money worth; especially without an explanation.

thought the concert was very good. I was disappointed that all the people that was supposed to come was not there.

Even though a few of the artist did not show up due to the snow storm that dropped it was a great night. I would have love to see Dougie Fresh and EPMD, but Kool Moe Dee and Too Short put on a great show. Salt and Peppa was decent, looked like they were gonna get assaulted by some of the men that came on stage

This was a very good concert. The acts were great!!! Chubb Rock, Monie Love, Dana Dane, Special Ed got the party started and they did not disappoint. Each one performed their hit(s) and added some special flavor paying tribute to other artists. Kool Moe Dee still has that moxie which made him at one time the #1 male rapper/mc. Whats Too Shorts' favorite word?! He was straight outta Oak-Town and gave the show that rough edge and he finished his set with my favorite T-S track/saying, "Blow Da Whistle." Salt n Peppa with Spinderella closed the show in fashion and style and kept the party started by Chubb Rock and crew going. The music and lyrics were crystal and the seating was great in this venue. It was the first visit my wife and I payed to the Starr Plaza Theater and it wont be the last. We took advantage of the concert and stayed the night at the Radisson which is connected to the Theater and again were not disappointed.

Several of the groups were no shows. The ones that did show up were really bad. I don't pay this kind on money for tickets to see performers on stage in jeans and hoodies looking like they just got out of bed. The performers did shortened versions of all their songs. The concert started very late and you could tell they were trying to stretch out stage time. Very unorganized and very unprofessional!! I will never go to another concert in a small venue like this. What a waste!!!!

drove 3hrs to see some of my favorite childhood emcee's, and half was a no show No Douge Fresh, No Epmd, No Dj Clue, No Kwaume! that's the first thing, the second was Special Ed Monie love and Chubb Rock was on the stage at once instead of spreading the artist out to make up for the missing performers.The music played in between sets was new school even though there's a ton of old school music that could have been played. They also could have done scratching with a dj to fill in time..we were 45 minutes late and the show hadn't started! The other performers were good Too Short, Kool moe D and Salt and Pepa but Salt and Pepa only did a few songs...i paid $86 including fees and I was very disappointed

So, I was kind of bummed out that Doug E. Fresh didn't make it because of the weather. But, Too Short and Salt 'n Peppa with Spindarella made up for it. I just wish the time between acts was shorter. With so many artist, it was a long concert.

In this case, the bad outweighed the good. The acts that were there were awesome. But we went to see Doug E. Fresh and EPMD. Because of the weather, Doug E. Fresh had to cancel. We had the opportunity to get a refund. But decided against it because EPMD is my husband's favorite. When the concert was over, we were still waiting for EPMD to come out. There was no explanation or anything. I had to go to an usher, to find out that they made it to the theatre after the contracted time and could not go on stage. When asked for a partial refund or some sort of compensation, it was unorganized chaos...leave my name and number on a sheet of paper (the back of a promotion flier). It was really disappointing. The overall experience, especially with the ushers at the Star Plaza Theatre, just left me in a bad mood.

For the most part, i enjoyed the djs and salt and pepa. Unfortunately, there were several acts missing that i had to downgrade my rating for.

Concert was horrible. First artist only gave you 2 songs max but instead had there dj moving the crowd like we are state party not a concert I came to see people preform not listen to the dj play old school music al night. Upon arrival they posted dougie fresh and 2 other artist would not be there and offered refund but failed to disclose epmd was not going to be there and didn't mention him not performing throughout entire show. The head liners salt and pepper gave you 5 songs max. I paid 178.00 for 2 tickets not worth it at all.
