The music played by THC is not confined to one genre nor one particular artist being covered. Classic Beastie Boys, Run-D.M.C., Salt-N-Pepa and Nelly are live favorites which never fail to amuse crowds of all sizes. “We have found that certain classics always work no matter how young or old [the audience is]” crew member John Cordogiannes says. “Hip hop music has become so segmented now that it’s almost hard to pick which hip hop road to go down when we’re adding new hits,” he says, adding “including hits that are 10+ years old.” However, if he had to choose a favorite decade of hip-hop, John would pick the ’90s. “There are] so many great artists and genres within the genre, and the music is still relevant to such a wide age range—from tweens to those getting their AARP cards!”
When asked his thoughts on returning to play for Madison again, John said “We have some great memories of performing in Madison! That’s where we’ve opened for hip hop acts like Big Sean [and] the New Boyz,” but one memory stands out above the rest: “There was the one year when Jason Derulo opened for US. Ha, that was a story. He was just starting to blow up at the time so they put him on as the opener, and, well, we all know what happened to him after that!”
Too Hype Crew takes the stage at 5 PM for two sets, with the show lasting until 7 pm.
