• Last Night: Gym Class Heroes, The Roots and Estelle at The Grove

Friday Mar. 13 at The Grove of AnaheimBetter Than: Getting a flat tire in a bad neighborhood.  Download: The new "Fuck Y'all" single by DJ QuikBetween the soft, melodic rise of string ensembles and the thumping energy of a band sopping with jherri curled g-funk swagger, it was obvious that last night at The Grove was not a postcard image of a typical hip hop show.
