Classic Hiphop
Large Professor
Large Professor is one of the true geniuses of hiphop. Born up in
Harlem, and once a member of Main Source, Large Professor is a solid
rapper and an amazing producer. He contributed three tracks to
Nas's Illmatic and associated with the main players (DJ Premier,
Q-Tip, Pete Rock) of hiphop's silver period (1993 to 1997). His
latest record, Main Source, is an example of what
"anti-fakin'" means. Indeed: "I just want to chill and put my
hand around a $100 bill." (Nectar, 412 N 36th St, 632-2020. 9 pm,
$10, 21+.)

Music
The Dirtbombs
Detroit garage-soul mensch Mick Collins is one of those
record-collector nerds who can deliver the goods onstage and in the
studio. He's been kicking out righteous jams since 1986, first with the
Gories, then with Blacktop, and since 1995 with the Dirtbombs. The
latter group's affinity for soul, rock, and electro-pop
covers manifested with incredible force on Ultraglide in
Black and If You Don't Already Have a Look. But their
originals also wallop with the energy, passion, and hookworthiness that
have defined the Motor City's vital music scene for decades.
