Following the performance, I spoke with Marley Marl who related in response why was A3C a good time to reunite The Juice Crew “with all of the emotion [that carried over from The Juice Crew reunion] that A3C was the perfect opportunity to come in do the show and promote our movie [The Vapors] that’s coming out. He also told me that The Juice Crew would be doing the soundtrack for the movie which is filming in a few weeks. So expect some new Juice Crew material in the future. We also spoke about why and how The Juice Crew came together. He said, “[We] came together because we were in a battle against Red Alert and we were just building up our ammo. The Juice Crew was ammunition. We used to bust off in a battle so I had to get my crew together.” And he also told me how his project came about with KRS-ONE, stating KRS gave him a call for a project. Marley said he sent a beat disc and KRS laced them all the tracks. He also went on to say him and KRS had some unreleased tracks on tap, and they would probably surface in the future.

Day three was a little bit disappointing not because of the performances just because it was almost over. On the low, there were mad rappers just there; some pollying while others just supported rappers they dug. Sha Stimuli was in the building. Torae was in the building. I saw Diamond D, NYOIL, 88 Keys and Che Grand. And those are just the ones I could remember. But they were all giving each other props and fellowshipping with the crowd - up close and personal.

Day three’s highlights for me were catching Guilty Simpson put on his set and of course The Clipse. The Re-Up Gang was in full effect, and Killer Mike came just to watch them perform. Now that’s love. Unfortunately, The Clipse and Tanya Morgan [click here to read Donwill's blog...] were on simultaneously so I ended up missing their performance which was a bummer. I guess whoever handled logistics didn’t think someone could like both. Nice job guy.

The night concluded with Rasta Roots spinning some Jay-Z and Nas. Overall, A3C kicked ass and if you like Hip Hop and you can swing it next year have your ass in the building.
