We’re in a special place in the history of hip-hop: Twenty-five years out from its push toward the mainstream, and 20 years after its domination and critically proclaimed “golden age.” The Spin was bummed way out that the Kings of the Mic Tour — with LL Cool J, Ice Cube, Public Enemy and De La Soul — would be passing us by, but that all turned around when Cube announced he'd be making a Music City stop right between KOTM dates. This OGest of OG MCs has been on our bucket list for ages, so we jumped at the chance to swing by Marathon Music Works.
