Joey Bada$$ will play Coachella this year, Bonnaroo the next. We're always 1 year behind Coachella on the best new rappers for some reason
I thought hip hop was pretty comparable to coach this past year as far as new artists. We had Kendrick, Danny Brown, and Childish Gambino (who we also had a year before). Not to mention the classic acts like GZA and Blackstar. I get what you're saying but it wouldn't surprise me too much to see Joey there, especially if he gains some more popularity in the next few months.
4/17 Jim James
5/17 Foals
6/8 Tallest Man On Earth
6/11 Local Natives
6/13-16 Bonnaroo
7/6 Bob Dylan, My Morning Jacket, and Wilco
7/12-14 Forecastle
8/15 STS9 and Umphreys McGee
10/25-27 Mountain Oasis
Not sure if this means anything but on the bonnaroo website they have a featured article on Asher Roth that mentions his "official sophomore album is on the way (he promises, and so does his label)" Could we possibly see Asher Roth on the farm next year, and if so where do you guys think he'd be billed?
I wouldn't be surprised to see him there, but I wouldn't expect him to be there. I remember last year Roo did a video on Main Attrakionz and was a bit bummed when they weren't on the line up.

Bring on Joey Bada$$ too! No Asher Roth please.
I'd like to see an hour and fifteen minute late night tent for the original No Limit lineup for old time sake. Master P with Silkk The Shocker, Mystikal and Fiend.
Not sure what Silkk has been up to, but as I posted in the video, Master P came out at Coachella with ASAP and the crowd seemed to really enjoy it. Fiend often appears on every Curren$y mixtape so he could join each of their sets if both rappers were booked.
As for Mystikal, it seems his flow and voice hasn't lost a step

b*tches want me to f*ck em, truuee truuee.
I cant imagine mystikal being very good live. I'd still probably be there though
I went and bought me an outfit today that costed a lot of money today, youknowImean?, 'cause I figured that Wu-Tang was gonna win! I don't know how y'all see it, but when it comes to the children, Wu-Tang is for the children! We teach the children! You know what I mean? Puffy is good, but Wu-Tang is the best! Okay? I want you all to know that this is ODB, and I love you all, peace!"

If they get the right lineup, I think a No Limit set would be high energy the whole time with each rapper feeding off the other. Pusha T would be a nice add too.
As for the higher billed rap acts, I'd like to see Watch The Throne, Dre & Snoop or G.O.O.D. Music although they're all pretty unlikely.
I would say that A$ap Rocky's tour with Rihanna ends on 5/5 a full month before Roo, so A$ap Mob seems logical to me. El-P returning sounds pretty on point given how his year has gone, but he might be exhausted and working on new material at that point. Death Grips are free to do whatever they like it seems - considering how well received they were at Moog - it's an easy easy easy choice.
So I'm saying A$ap Mob & Death Grips for sure (can't pull the trigger on El-P)

I'm going to put it out there - I can't stand Death Grips. Not the music, but the attitude. The stunt they pulled with Epic was kind of d*ck. If you don't want a major label having a say in your record, DON'T SIGN WITH A MAJOR LABEL. The whole thing seems less "revolutionary" or "punk" and more "13 year old boy pissed off because Mom won't let him watch Game of Thrones."
Radiohead, prince, muse, chili peppers, etc...and they are lucky if they get 1 mill, but they normally only get 500 k
then you have third tier : snoop, dre, J z...they get 100 k
then you have 4th tier : black keys, munford byoncee, Prince etcc: they get 50k

But from someone who doesn't even want to create music right now because the utter lack of upward mobility... F the labels. Sure they acted like kids about it, but it seems like two traversing projects and minds that just.. didn't know how to handle the situation.
I'll admit, I use to listen to Hella and I'm an addict for crazy drums.. the MC clearly has issues with connecting with the outside world. I don't know.. I can empathize.. especially when your chosen art form is still new to you. and as grimey as f$$$

That whole scenario seemed more like a ploy contrived by the label itself to me. The major label "Quack you" was well publicized and definitely made DG more popular. Epic likes.

I don't think they had any collusion.. in fact that's the problem, steady disconnection between artists and their labels. Sure [we'll] book you shows and give you money; but no sense of nurturing, family, or even them giving a crap until ish hits the fan? Publicity is just the counter-weight, and in the end they didn't lose too much in the deal; and if the Death Grips were a headache logistically.. can't blame em.

So somehow I missed this news at the beginning of the month but Epic actually dropped Death Grips from the label, ending any and all conspiracy theories regarding the NLDW leak. +1 DG

i was just about to say "do you all realize that epic dropped death grips?" but you beat me to it. i love death grips. they are incredible live. they would be a huge thursday act if they got booked.
kendrick lamar needs to come back and do the whole good kid maad city (still feel sick for leaving his set and not knowing how talented he was last year) jay-z would definitely get me to buy a ticket to bonnoraoo no questions asked danny brown was the best rap act last year bar none outside of gza(i didnt see gza) joey badass would cool
pusha t is a dud live and has no stage presence
a lot of rappers yall hyped up last year were overrated to me ie blackstar and black thought

black thought?
The lead singer of the Roots. That statement is so outrageous I vote for immediate IP ban.
Yeah, that Danny Brown can BRING IT. Don't bother going to see the Roots or Black Star, listen to this guy rap about f*cking a corpse!
(for the record, I like Danny Brown quite a bit, but still....wtf)

Im not talking bout content im talking about energy, stage presence and crowd control.
i went to all three sets last year and danny brown had the best live rap show ...he has a lot more charisma than blackstar and black thought therefore keeping your interest.
i know he talks about crazy shiz but never heard him talking about quacking a dead corpse
