pack Roseland
The West Coast Hip Hop
Awards, which celebrates hip-hop
artists from the entire stretch of
the West Coast, will return to Port-
Omar Gooding
land this Saturday, Aug. 20 from 3
p.m. to midnight at the Roseland
Theater, downtown.
It will be the second time Port-
land has hosted the annual event
which started back in 2007 as a
way to recognize the genre’s most
influential figures while also pro-
viding a stage for smaller artists
wishing to expand in the hip hop
industry.
Actor, rapper and comedi-
an Omar Gooding will host the
awards show drawing over 200
emcees, composers, DJ’s and mu-
sicians. A special “Walk the Red
Carpet” bash will kick off the
festivities and a few of hip hop’s
fallen greats, including Mac Dre,
Tupac, Eazy E and Nate Dogg,
will be inducted into the West
Coast Hip Hop Hall of Fame.
Admission is $40 with a part
of the proceeds going to Save the
Music and other programs that
strive to keep music programs and
equipment in schools and commu-
nity centers.

ets and more information.
