all of the words below are just about making me have multiples and a heart attack at the same time. it's a bizarre feeling dudes.

Joining the likes of Wu-Tang Clan, Rakim, KRS-One, and Slick Rick on the 2010 bill will be none other than Lauryn Hill (I guess the rumors were true after all), Snoop Dogg, and A Tribe Called Quest, plus Gang Starr’s DJ Premier.

Snoop will be making his debut appearance at Rock the Bells and he’ll be making the most of it. For the first time ever, the rapper will perform his 1993 quadruple platinum album Doggystyle in its entirety. Plus, he’ll be joined by a collection of equally high-profile onstage collaborators, including Warren G, Tha Dogg Pound, Lady of Rage, and RBX.

A Tribe Called Quest will also perform one of its classic albums in its entirety (HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!), this being 1993’s Midnight Marauders, while legendary producer, DJ and co-founder of revolutionary hip hop group, Gang Starr, DJ Premier will make a special appearance to celebrate the life and work of fellow Gang Starr collaborator, MC Guru.

And if all that weren’t enough, Lauryn Hill will make a rare live appearance, where she’ll perform a set “prepared exclusively for the festival featuring songs from her critically acclaimed album, The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, spanning through her work with The Fugees and more.

A Tribe Called Quest, and DJ Premier will appear at all four of Rock the Bell’s 2010 stops, while Hill and Snoop will perform everywhere besides San Francisco and LA, respectively.
