The Cunninlynguists made a few Canadian stops on their Dirty Acres East Coast tour, and I made the 10 hour round-trip to Ottawa to check them out. I’ve been wanting to see these guys for a long time – I feel that lyrically they are one of the most talented, deep, interesting, insightful hip-hop groups ever, and they have incredibly high production value. I was very disappointed that Natti couldn’t get across the border, because a few of my favorite songs and verses had to be dropped. Nonetheless, these guys are just as amazing live as I imagined they’d be. As for the opening acts, they REALLY stood out.  PackFM and Substantial were both unbelievable!!
