As always, last night of NXNE and hip hop is on the agenda with Digable Planets and Pharcyde at Dundas Square. The square is jammed packed with nodding heads and pharcyde record jackets being waved in the air??(Is this a new trend?). Over the next hour Digable Planets with full band wandered through cuts from their 1993 and 1994 classics Reachin and Blowout Comb. Definately the Jazz. Here is what Toronto had to say (alot of hating on the new lineup for the band):
@panicmanual: i really WANT to go see digable planets/pharcyde, but i really also want to not move
@panicmanual: ive decided to go to digable planets, primarily because people older than me are there and mocking my current tired status. #nxne (IKDK: Yes. We were!)
@IKvsDK: Digable will be rockin real drums. #nxne #planets
@camillitary: Thanks Digable Planets, you prove there is a need for a whole band in the world of hip hop #nxne
@camillitary: It's rent-a-guitarist day at #nxne: the guitarist for Tenika Charles is playing for Digable Planets
@Kehindilla: I'd go to the Digable Planets show but lets keep it real, I remember like one song. (IKDK: We remember more)
@djnumeric: Confirmed: Digable Planets without Ladybug or Butterfly. #Wack #NXNE (IKDK: Royalty Disagreements)
@miscELENEous: Watching my friend play on stage with Digable Planets. Dreams happen.
@CanBallReport: Digable Planets on the stage is so nice! Brings me back to cassette tapes, walkmans and high school.
@Xtiin_Jones: #Throwback Bass is BOOMn! Digable Planets: Sh*t sounds phat with a DJ and live band.
@swankyswagger: People are enjoyin themselves here at NXNE lightin up their blunts while Digable Planets kill it. I'll take in the second hand reefer.
@jminter: Good crowd packing into #YDSquare for Digable Planets
@FreshEyesCEO: I didn't realise that Digable Planets aren't really Digable Planets anymore. #NXNE
@MadKilla: I can't lie, I'm not that fond of Digable Planets. #WeWantPharcyde
@djnumeric: This is pretty bad. It's like a Digable Planets cover band. #NXNE
@Repo_Mandy: This Digable Planets show is sub-par, & only 1 original member is here. @peterchapmanesq & I are unimpressed. Also bad sound! Bummer times.
@PeterChapmanEsq: I think im watching the best digable planets cover band ever.
@parkdale: How u be Digable Planets w/out Butterfly?? No one sayin anything. But wack. #NXNE
@GhostfaceKnitta: Watching Digable Planets. Kid behind me wearing a Ninja Turtles shirt. It's 1991.
@piriyankaa: i don't get how Digable Planets and Fried Kool-Aid are trending in Toronto but Selena Gomez and the MMVAs aren't. (IKDK: We get it)
@therealdishto: Digable Planets at Dundas Square #NXNE SO good!
@MissAngeOnAir: Digable Planets need to get rid of this chick. She can rap, but doesn't have the Digable jazz energy. (IKDK: Missing a Ladybug I think)
@WaynieTDot: Digable planets are jus Cool Like Dat
@joyoushealth: #nxne Digable Planets at Yonge and Dundas Sq. Awesome!
@tdotsomebody: Digable Planets shouted out to Palestine on stage in Toronto!!!! #freepalestine #hiphopsavedme #nxne
@MsNikkino: Dundas square is a mess. Digable planets only had one original member. Waiting for pharycyde
@dorianlogan: Have to admit, was initially excited for digable planets, but, within 1.5 songs, pharcyde has proven that they are tonights headliners #nxne
@mj_chandler: Thank you Digable Planets for taking me back to a time when I could listen to hip hop without making sarcastic remarks. #nxne
@PeterChapmanEsq: Man... I can't stop thinking about that woman that replaced Lady Bug. She was an OK rapper, but way too "Angry Mom" for the Digable Planets
@caseyyugo: #notgonnalie - digable planets was more entertaining than the pharcyde (saw the latter at TO rock the bells). maybe it was the band? #nxne
