Prepare for Rock the Bells with a game of MC trivia

Now in its fifth year, the Rock the Bells festival hits Shoreline Amphitheater on Saturday with the most complete lineup of vital hip-hop acts you’ll see all year. Running the gamut from up-and-comers to legends, the event presents more strains of intelligent hip-hop (backpackers and hipsters and conscious rappers, oh my!) than varieties of medical pot the crowd will be smoking. How’s a head to choose? Via our handy-dandy little charticle below, that’s how. Match your personal preferences on the left with the applicable MC on the right. And then, go, you know, rock those bells, or whatever.

Download your very own Rock the Bells charticle...or flip through our slideshow to find your match.
