City officials unveiled an all-star Hip Hop lineup that will take the stage in Forest Hills next month.
The man known as the “Father of Funk,” George Clinton, will be headlining the free concert on Friday, Aug. 20 at Forest Hills Stadium.
Clinton and his group the P-Funk All Stars will headline the concert alongside rapper Too $hort.
The concert is part of a series of free concerts — one in each borough — that the city is organizing alongside the Bronx’s new Universal Hip Hop Museum (UHHM) as part of its comeback from the pandemic. The concerts are happening during “NYC Homecoming Week” from Aug. 14 through Aug. 22.
Other musicians playing at the Forest Hills concert include DJ Hurricane, DJ Wiz, EPMD, Mobb Deep and Yo-Yo. DJ Hurricane, who is known for his work with the Beastie Boys, and rapper Havoc of Mobb Deep both were born and raised in Queens.
The Forest Hills concert begins at 4 p.m. and expects to run until 9:30 p.m.
Free tickets for the Queens concert as well the concerts in the Bronx, Brooklyn and Staten Island will be released to the public in batches starting Monday, Aug. 2 at 10 a.m. online at nyc.gov/HomecomingWeek.
Large crowds, summer heat, weak police, I say 7 shot, 1 fatally. That's after the 'youths' rampage outside the stadium robbing residents and breaking into cars and homes. I can't think of anything stupider than having a hip-hop concert in a safe quiet upper middle-class neighborhood. How stupid are the owners of the Stadium?? If you live nearby stay inside.

Jesus.... do you all hear yourselves? Do you even know the neighborhood and how the stadium is set up?? It's in the middle of the frakkin woods! There's nothing surrounding it but trees and woodland and an entrance road. The closest homes are large apartment buildings through the woods and across Woodhaven Blvd and set back from an adjacent road.
And the assumption that a bunch of middle aged hip hop fans who this concert is targeted towards are going to start shooting at each other is absurd. Actually just the assumption that because it's a hip hop concert that there will be shots is racist enough. I should have stopped right there.

Call me racist when this concert passes without anyone being shot. Color has nothing to do with it. "Free" and "hip hop" equals shootings. If you're associating that with people of color, you're racist.

There is also going to be a similar event on Staten Island at the Ballpark. If they trash Richmond Terrace no one will be able to tell the difference.
He is kinda right. Only people who listen to hip hop are 15 year old white boys and girls. Usually those aren’t packing.
