The Lox + EPMD + Brand Nubian + Raekwon + Nice & Smooth

If you thought rap didn't get better after 1994, this one's for you! We kid, cuz this is a megasolid bill featuring ’90s heavyweights like the Lox, EPMD and Brand Nubian. Not everyone can have it as good as Raekwon—who's also on the bill—a rapper who's enjoying a renaissance. His new one is Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang, and it's a worthy entry into a crowded, distinguished discography.
