Curren$y is a perfect fit. Him and Action Bronson just performed together in Nola two nights ago, would be a good fit together. A$AP and Bronson always show each other love at festivals. The three of them together would give Roo a great hip hop base.

Omg this would make the happiest little girl in the world!
But seriously, if those 3 are there I'll be really happy.

Maybe I'm getting old but I really am not into this whole new wave of hip hop artists. Gibbs, A$AP, Kendrick, etc. I didn't even like most the hip-hop last year aside from Black Star. If I had to pick one to be at roo though it'd definitely be Odd Future. Or better yet a Capt. Murphy ft. EARL show.
Am I the only one who thought the "The Money Store" album from Death Grips was absolute garbage??
No, you basically either really like them or you hate them, from what I can tell. Not a lot of people "kind of like" Death Grips.
I agree with this. I'd also add that if you're going into it prepared for just a straight hip hop album, you'll likely be disappointed. I honestly don't know if I'd even call Death Grips hip hop. I honestly don't know what I'd call them, besides awesome.
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
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

If you're not in to "new wave of hip hop artisits" but still want something fresh, def check out Joey Bada$$. When you name your mixtape 1999, you have some throwback aspirations.

I'm glad I wasn't alone on this. I had seen talk on this thread about hopefully getting them on the lineup this year so I decided to check them out and couldn't even remotely understand what their appeal is.
Also, I don't care much for this Action Bronson guy. Hopefully a crowd will be at his tent to free up some space at a show I prefer to see. Lets get some Memphis rap such as 8ball & MJG

I've got to change your mind on Action. He grows on you, his personality is hilarious and he would have the crowd going. Don't poo poo this because riff raff goes on it. Smoke a jernt listen to this and then come back with the review. 8ball and m would be fine too.
I'd like the hip hop acts to be as diverse as possible (sort of regional)
East Coast: Any/or all Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, A$AP South: Big KRIT, Curren$y West Coast: Any of Black Hippy Midwest: KANYE! (suck it grudge-holding dead heads)

He reminds me of a fat rapper you'd see out here in Tennessee. That song would be onto something if it had Curren$y instead of Riff Raff. I like Tackitt's bonnaroo rap list

Thanks for the recommendation. Definitely digging this more than the other names I mentioned. Only listened to a few songs so far, gonna get the whole mix tape soon.

Good lord, man.
(Bonus, the market he goes into in the beginning I've been to 2348973589374589735 times, it used to be called Mike's Deli and it is aweeeeeeeesome.
The Weeknd just announced a new album for 2013. No sign of when exactly, but gives an arguement for him a little more wind. Not exactly hip-hop, but thought this thread may want to know

You don't like any of those vids/songs above?
That's pretty cool about the market. The second and third songs sound a little similar to me. He's alright. I guess its the simple beats. Growing up in the south, you get used to catchier beats while these are a little laid back and simpler. It's not like The Neptunes that gain your interest off the instrumental alone.
NY has almost always been about basic beats with emphasis on lyrical skill.
I realize different regions emphasize different stuff, but go back to Enter the Wu or Ready to Die and you won't hear intricate beats on most songs, mostly just a base line.
He's basically a shorter, fatter, whiter, more Albanian Ghostface (but not as talented). That's a compliment, FWIW.
Death Grips seriously cannot be overrated. I see more posts (all over the net, not just here) saying they suck, they're attention whores, people 'don't get the appeal', etc. than positive ones. Or at least that's how the last three months or so has felt.
