Hopefully most of those acts will be playing at all four shows. And some of the proceeds go to Haiti relief. Thugs have hearts too

http://www.rockthebells.net/Renowned Staten Island, N.Y. hip hop collective Wu-Tang Clan is the big headliner this year and will perform its 1993 landmark debut "Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers)" in its entirety.
Multiple Grammy award-winner Lauryn Hill is slated to appear as a "special guest," though her role in the festival is not entirely specified.
Other noted performers are "Golden Era" hip hop legends Rakim and KRS-One who will perform music from their seminal works, "Paid In Full" and "Criminal Minded," respectively.
The four-city trek will kick off Aug. 21 in San Bernardino, Calif., making its way through San Francisco (Aug. 22), New York (Aug. 28), and closing in Washington, D.C. (Aug. 29).
Hopefully most of those acts will be playing at all four shows. And some of the proceeds go to Haiti relief. Thugs have hearts too
