MADLIB (Stones Throw) Tour Dates & Walk For DILLA ++ MF DOOM in the hospital?

Madvillain

Walk to cure Lupus in honor of J Dilla, and then go see Madlib, Karriem Riggins as Supreme Team, J Rocc, Peanut Butter Wolf, Percee P & Guilty Simpson at Highline Ballroom in NYC on December 2nd. Tickets are on sale. Percee P is currently on tour with Common and Q-Tip, which also means you can see Percee at Nokia Theatre on October 7th. Q-Tip is also playing Gramercy Theatre on October 16th.

In somewhat related news, MF Doom was recently scheduled to play Central Park. How was that? I bet it would have been better if he showed up. According to Wikipedia,

On 22 September 2007, at a show in New York where DOOM was supposed to be the headliner but cancelled, the MC for the show, Kenny Muhammad, asked for a minute of silence for MF DOOM who was “fighting for his life in the hospital”.

Not good. He didn’t show up at the Independent in San Fran on September 18th either, and this all comes after accusations of him lip-syncing at some shows in August. People are now starting rumors that he died, and AllHipHop claims that, “Apparently, MF Doom is in the hospital, but not from a heart attack.” I hope whatever is wrong, that he comes out of it okay!

The Madlib show is part of an upcoming Stones Throw records tour that also includes a show at the El Ray Theatre in LA on November 8th. More dates TBA.
