1986 Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 I didn't realise Loyle Carner was there last year. I caught him at Visions fest and he was great. I've caught all the hip hop I could at the two Glasto's I've been to but there is always inevitably plenty of acts I've never heard of so therefore missed. Doomtree were one of my priorities last year though and they were fantastic. Few acts could have made the most of a small crowd the way they did. The setlist was a great showcase for all of them as well. This year like everyone else I have high hopes for Cube. Vince Staples, Earl Sweatshirt and The Roots would be good too. I'll also hold onto the pipedreams of Kendrick playing or Dre headlining, in spite the severe lack of evidence for either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigfurbdogg Posted February 24, 2016 Report Share Posted February 24, 2016 Kano could be a shout this year as he has his new album out soon. I'd love a BBK set, think they'd be pretty high up the list on the JP if they played. I rememeber Hilltop Hoods played the same year Jay-Z headlined, would loved to have seen them. Did anyone catch them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieKThomas Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 The CEO of Top Dawg Entertainment put out on twitter that Schoolboy Q's new album is out before the summer, surely that must strengthen his chances of making an appearance this year?

JamieKThomas Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Drake also came out at Section Boyz show last night along with Section Boyz, also Drake has signed with Boy Better Know. Not sure what this does to either of their chances of being at Glasto though Video (looks lit) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dentalplan Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Drake has signed with Boy Better Know? Fuck me. That's like Cristiano Ronaldo signing with Fulham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKThomas Posted February 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 Just now, dentalplan said: Drake has signed with Boy Better Know? Fuck me. That's like Cristiano Ronaldo signing with Fulham. Yup, he oddly got a BBK tattoo in October (http://www.factmag.com/2015/10/15/drake-just-got-a-boy-better-know-tattoo/) but I suppose it makes sense now, he's also been on a track with Skepta and brought him out at Wireless Fest. 2 vids below if you're interested.

Alex DeLarge Posted February 25, 2016 Report Share Posted February 25, 2016 I couldn't imagine Drake at Glastonbury, but I would definitely love to see him at some point. Good news about Schoolboy Q as well, hopefully he announces some UK dates. Would it be greedy to ask for all of Black Hippy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieKThomas Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 A few more acts are starting to be announced so I thought as they were I would update this thread so theres a resource to find Hip Hop/Grime artists at Glasto. Amir Mohamed el Khalifa, better known by his stage name Oddisee, is an American rapper and producer from Washington, DC. He is one third of Diamond District. He was also part of the Low Budget Crew.

JamieKThomas Posted March 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 Emily Eavis said this "There are loads of great female MCs coming through this year which is quite exciting. Little Simz and Lady Leshurr and people like that." Lady Leshurr Apparently lots of people like Lady Leshurr despite me thinking she is absolute trash, but each to their own! Little Simz Now this is more my cup of tea, I heard her EP and thought it was absolutely outstanding, if you have time check out her full EP.

ravermum Posted March 25, 2016 Report Share Posted March 25, 2016 (edited) The majority of the grime was in Silver Hayes, they went for it on the Saturday. I was there for much of it. I venerate DDoubleE. Fan girl. Logan Sama played with Newham Generals at The Blues. Was ace. (That Skepta/DDouble 'Ladies Hit Squad' is causing me much stress. I'm trying very hard to ignore it.) Yes, Bugzy would be great to see there. Do you guys know Elf Kid? Female MCs-wise, Lady Lykez every time - she flames every single male MC out there with 'Nobody Can' - see below Edited March 25, 2016 by ravermum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah Little Simz is an artist that could really flourish in a hip hop world where Kendrick is king, but because she's UK based and not really grime it might be a bit tough when that's the big thing over here. People on here that love Kendrick and Paak will appreciate, for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefLeppard Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 A few people have mentioned The Roots on here but I can't see any indication for them playing unless I'm missing something. Is it just unrealistic wishful thinking or is there some basis behind it? They would be sooo good as West Holts headliner. I suppose Friday afternoon Pyramid would be good too!

Glastoboy Posted March 26, 2016 Report Share Posted March 26, 2016 Really want to see Little Simz, I hope she is there this year. I saw RTJ last year who were great. And Akala in the Rum Shack was brilliant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyboi Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 (edited) There's always a tonne of it mate, you'll find out new people you didn't know we're even out there. Always worth researching certain names on the line up if there on certain stages before hand. last year d double & footsie were class, RTJ were one of the best things I've seen at Glasto! & yoda and the breakfast of champions were awesome too. I personally lovely Kanye. There was plenty of sets I stumbled across of the week but grime had a bit of a resurgence lad year which is still going. I'd be disappointed if stormzy is on this year and also a decent big name like wu, j5, snoop, de la soul, q-tip, nas like recent years. Roots would be nuts but not sure if they would do it.

villain79 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 RTJ were amazing last year - esp as it had been pissing it down right up until they came out, along with the sun! De La Soul played a couple of years ago and were unbelievably good! Don't know if it's too soon for them to come back again, but they would be most welcome! Ice Cube would be brilliant, but if anyone, I'm harbouring the faintest of hopes for The Roots - they've recently promised they've got a few things up their sleeves, and that everyone will be sick of them by 2017!!!

Where do you reckon The Roots would play if they were to appear? Pyramid in the day or headlining West Holts? It would be soooooooooooooooo good.

villain79 Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 It's hard one - they would probably headline West Holts, but there have been a few Hip-Hop acts on the Pyramid during Daytimes - De La Soul, Snoop, N.E.R.D, etc, and have been brilliant, so I'd be equally happy with that!

Yeah, I can't decide which one would be better. Tbh if the Earth Wind & Fire suspicions are correct then I feel like The Roots and EWF as WH headliners would be too good to be true. I really wish I'd been there for Snoop on the Pyramid, it looked so good from the video on YouTube! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted March 28, 2016 Report Share Posted March 28, 2016 There tends to be a token hip-hop act on the Friday Pyramid each year, so if they do play that's where I'd put them. Although they only have one date in Europe so far and that's at North Sea Jazz where they'd probably be more appreciated than on the Pyramid. I guess if anyone's gonna get them over here, though, it'd probably be Glastonbury. I've got The Sugarhill Gang down in that slot on my prediction but The Roots would probably be who I'd be most likely to guess after them. Ice Cube is in America over Glasto weekend. Actually fuck it I'm gonna go with the Roots. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it was because they had a hip-hop headliner in Kanye so hopefully its back this year. The Sugarhill Gang would be pretty good too, not as good as The Roots though. Imagine if it was Will Smith & DJ Jazzy Jeff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
