It's much more important to process it and personalize it. To apply it to your world, to your life. You have to walk the walk, or you can't really report about it honestly."
What about Kanye and Friends....that could be the act that puts 08 over the top...picture this...
Kanye West...A-Trak with his own 20 mins or so...Common...The Roots or at least Questlove...Kid Sister...and N.E.R.D...since they are on tour with him...i cant see Rihanna tho...
One good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain. So hit me with music. Hit me with music, now, yeah. Hit me with music. Brutalize me with music.
It's the Glow in the Dark tour. It's gotta be at night. Gonna be awesome. I just hope it doesn't conflict with Sigur Ros or My Morning Jacket.
Definitely agree that Kanye is a guaranteed late night, making this the late-night hip-hop this year (Common, Lyrics Born, Galactic in the past). Tons of guest spots guaranteed, with Lupe and Kweli all but locks and Galifanakis probably jumping into the mix as well. I doubt there will be any more additions, though I wouldn't be surprised if Kanye brought out people that weren't even announced as playing their own set... I can only hope that Hov shows...
And, to your point about not conflicting with Sigur Ros or My Morning Jacket... Don't get your hopes up... Putting those acts on at the same time would split the late night crowd up nicely for Superfly, much like the whole STS9, SCI, Superjam conflict last year

Funny... for me, the worlds "Kanye West" "My Morning Jacket" and "conflict" never appear in the same sentence ;D
That being said, I wouldn't mind checking out a few minutes of Kanye just to see... so I hope he's in a relatively open slot. But it wouldn't take much for me to skip it for a lot of bands on the lineup
kanye's got to be doing something right. Hasn't he been touring with The Rolling Stones for a bit. I think his new album absolutely kicks butt and he's a great addition to roo. I mean Spin gave him two of the top 10 songs of the year, not too shabby.
I hope he does good, but I do think it is funny that I put him in my worst headliner post. I have never, ever been to a rap concert where a single artist has played longer then 45 min - 1 hour. Maybe The Roots, but that is a band not an artist. And besides if they were going to get a rapper, couldn't they have got a good one like Snoop Dog or Pharrell. I hope it doesn't rain, because I would hate for Kanye's cashmire Lacoste sweater to get ruined.
But seriously good for the man, and maybe he will turn some heads.
Close your eyes. Picture a convict. What's he wearing? Nothing special, baseball cap on backwards, baggy pants... he says something ordinary like... 'yo, thats shizzle.' Okay. Now slowly open your eyes again. Who are you picturing? A black man? Wrong. That was a white woman. Surprised? Well, shame on you.

I want to see Kanye and Lars have a cry fest together when they find out the 'roo is in the middle of a giant farm, its hot and superfly can only meet about half of there rider requests.
;D
