Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival 2011
Oh yea. Q-Tip headlining = nothing short of greatness. Purchase your tickets here.
Q-Tip’s two-decades plus emphasis on artistic integrity and sonic progression along with his cross-generational legacy falls in line with everything Brooklyn Bodega supports through it’s mission statement; everything Brooklyn Bodega is fundamentally about. In the truest sense he is an ambassador for Hip-Hop, consistently pushing The Culture past predefined margins through collaborations across audial boundaries.
He’s the luminary’s luminary.
Honestly, having him rock the 7th Annual Brooklyn Hip-Hop Festival is an easier than easy decision. It’s really a no-brainer.
But who would Brooklyn Bodega be if we settled for the obvious? How could we be satisfied with the easy decision and still uphold our laser-aimed focus on freshness?
So we pushed the margins to the brink of breach.
BHF11 is ten-months pregnant with possibilities because Q-Tip isn’t just headlining. He’s curating, partnering with the Bodega Family in assembling an all-world, one-time only performance featuring surprise appearances from every corner of his legendary catalog!

Bilal x Blu – Robots (Remy LBO Remix)
This artwork creeps me out.
Easily one of the most talked about tracks on Bilal’s Airtight’s Revenge LP (2010), “Robots†is a thought-provoking record that questions the use of manipulative propaganda by corporate media and the government. Fittingly, on Election Day 2010, Bilal teamed up with French directorMikael Colombu to release the provocative video so jam-packed with social commentary that if you blink you risk missing another jab. Through the multi-media journey the viewer sees the world of politics through Bilal’s eyes. As you watch “Robots†you’ll soon find yourself paying very close attention to what is really going on, just as the lyrics to the song urge the listener to do.
