2013 Headliners

[mattgimmeshelter]

I'm 99% sure Watch the Throne will not be headlining as Kanyes kid is due the same sort of time.

Plus the baby is due late july, waaaay after glastonbury.

[MEGABOWL]

i can't say i know the chap, but is that really cause for him to stop working?

he may want to be there when she's due, he may not. we don't know.

by way of (probably meaningless) comparison, i know Robbie Williams was gigging around the time his missus was due last year.

wasn't that about Atoms For Peace?

[Justiceforcedave]

And didn't they write a song about Glastonbury in honour of headlining?

[Sketchead]

If the baby is due late July then there aren't any problems there. Can't see them playing anyway, as much as I'd like them to. Kanye on his own would be fine.

Actually, infact lemme clear up alot of points people make about "watch the throne" and i'l debunk them.

• Kanye's baby is due in june - Nope, wrong it's due late july
• Jay-z headlined in 2008 - Arctic Monkeys headlined in 2007 and no one has raised an eyebrow.
• I don't like their music - Go see someone else.
• Jay-z was awful in 2008 - No he wasn't, infact from footage it seemed like a pretty good setlist/ event.
• I hate hip hop/rap IT SHOULDN'T BE AT THE FESTIVAL - Who the fuck are you, noel gallagher?
• They are mainstream trash - Grow up.
• Kanye is shit live - I can't say that i've seen him, and I know he may be better on records, but at least he's not kings of leon
• Their album is bad - Really? There are alot of tunes on there, give it a chance and a listen, and you might like it. It's definitely the good side of rap/hip hop.
• Kanye's a douchebag - So's Bono.
• I don't want them to play N*ggas in Paris 100 times - Leave after the first time play then.
• I don't want them to headline - "You can't always get, what you want".

These are my personal opinions, I just think alot of the hate towards them is unfair

Rant Over.

[Rock_and/or_Roll]

yes, you're right

but if he's working on Atoms For Peace, doesn't it seem odd to leave that for a show at Glastonbury

obviously doesn't rule them out completely, just seems more than unlikely

You seem to be taking this a little too personally.

No i'm not, I just find that alot of silly arguments are thrown about regarding them. I could rant off at something that really does get to me about how people write hip hop off so quickly as a shit music genre, when all they are really exposed to is chris brown, nicki minaj & lil-wayne. But that's not for now, because all of you don't make those arguments so I feel I don't have to use them :3

[mattgimmeshelter]

I write off hip hop as shit but all i've heard is Jay Z and Kanye West, how does that affect things?

[mrtourette]

This would be the same as me saying, I hate rock music, all i've heard is the killers, the whole genre is complete crap I hate it.

How would that make you feel?

Edited January 18, 2013 by mrtourette

[mrtourette]

wouldn't it be more accurate to say you don't like Jay Z and Kanye West rather than write off a whole genre that you admit to not having heard hardly any of?

[sisco]

And? it shouldn't matter that much, Jay-z and beyonce's kid was due in late december and it didn't stop him doing shows all month and then through the beginning of January.

Work comes first.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Indifferent, since I don't give a shit.

My point was you're suggesting that people are saying they only don't want them to headline or don't like their genre because they haven't heard them and they're basing it on Chris Brown and Nicki Ninaj. What if someone is very failmiar with Jay Z/Kanye or hip hop and still doesn't like it or want them to headline?

[mrtourette]

oh... I get it now

good one

[Mardy]

Lots of Hip Hop is great, I can give you a list of stuff as long as, well, whatever body part you want, but Jay Z (always) and Kanye (these days) are dreadful, it's bombastic, unsubtle, lowest common denominator stuff without a hint of wit or intelligence. It's possible to love hip hop and still think those two are tools.

I doubt it, because next time you'll still jump on a tounge-in-cheek, sarcastic or hypothetical point as if it were deadly serious just so you can make another blatantly obvious point.
