Paid Dues 2011 took place on Saturday at the NOS events center in San Bernardino. The event was an all day festival composed of two stages and an MMA octagon showcasing some of the best independent Hip-Hop MCs in the game. The grounds were crawling with Hip-Hop heads dying to see their favorite rappers pumping and spitting beats and rhymes for the sake of REAL Hip-Hop. There were epic performances/appearances by the likes of Fashawn, Blu, Exile, Dead Prez, The Alchemist, Evidence, Murs, Lil B The Based God, Black Hippy, E-40, U-N-I, Bun-B,POS, Dom Kennedy, Casey Veggies, Slaughterhouse, and the headliner Black Star (Mos Def & Talib Kweli). The festival was dope, so if you missed out this year, make sure you get your Hip-Hop fix at Paid Dues 2012!
