The masses flocked down-front for Dead Prez, a high-energy hip-hop act whose raps have the same burn-the-barn rage that fueled Dead Presidents, the 1995 Hughes brothers movie from which they presumably take their name. Other acts included openers Monsters & Dust, a promising rock outfit still finding its feet; Nayrok (Badu's sister), looking like a black Barbarella in her silver lamé pants and gloves and grabbing the unsuspecting crowd by the throat with a hard-driving, at times shriekish, hard-rock set; and Philadelphia-based Musiq, an uplifting R&B singer with all the right moves. Capping off the evening was Miss Badu herself, all inner glow and nine months pregnant. Like the name of the charity the Black Forest benefits, Beautiful Love, the evening was like a feel-good, old-soul embrace--a place where everyone belonged, an evening that belonged to everyone.
