Nas performing illmatic in full would be one of the highlights of the festivalfor me

[dentalplan]

Cypress Hill would be cool. Ludacris wouldn't.

[Festiboi69]

Cypress Hill would be cool. Ludacris wouldn't.

Wouldn't mind freddie gibbs either. Maybe asap as well, although he wasn't great at Reading a couple years back. Thats probably just Reading though.

nah, forget that, let's have Nas with Damian, waaaay better.

How much would the field shake to the bassline of 'Promised Land'? Basslines don't get any better.

(or, for those who don't know their reggae but know N&D, 'Land of Promise').

Nas and Damian would be an absolute must see

i went to see Kate Tempest last night in Nottingham, she was absolutely fantastic, i'd be willing to bet she's going to get a nice spot on the lineup poster

[Matt - Ed Banger Records]

I would imagine she would go fairly high up on the Park Stage perhaps? Maybe mid-JPT?

From that poster above I would gladly take Pusha T, Danny Brown and Cypress Hill

Great shout! That'd be brilliant

[Guy Incognito]

Just seen Ratking on the Reading line up. Let's have them at glasto please

[kalifire]

No other dates for The Roots other than Parklife so far.

The Roots are now gigging in the States on Saturday 27th June. Makes them very unlikely, I'd say.

Genuinely gutted. With Kendrick unlikely as well now, my hip hop hopes are somewhat diminished today, and Parklife now looks amazing.

[Perks]

That is bitch about The Roots, really brought they'd be on the line up this year.

I'm hoping Hilltop are gonna come over, I really am.

[EighteenSixty7]

Wu-Tang announced for Tramlines up here in Sheffield at the back end of July. Still hoping.

[Winslow Leach]

Roots Manuva supporting Blur, hopefully he'll turn up at Glastonbury too. I've never seen him live and Brand New Second Hand is one of the great British hip-hop albums.

Saw him on Jazz World in 09 - bloody brilliant. Saw him early 2012 (i think?!) as well on the '4everevolution' tour - bit of a different direction but some of the tracks are top draw.

[bamber]

The Wall of Black Men. Listen. Kippers Flee, leave this country to the enlightened.

[salvador wali]

Can we expect Nas again so soon after the last performance? His dates are the start of June as well.

No other dates for The Roots other than Parklife so far. Is the Jimmy Fallon show ongoing or is it batches of series? Are they there every episode?

[salvador wali]

[salvador wali]

How cool are the Roots

[Bisque]

Krept & Konan are likely to play, which will be rubbish.

[kalifire]

Love those videos! There is no cooler or better hip hop group.

EDIT: The Roots even manage to make a song as shit as this sound semi-acceptable.

Is it too soon for a Snoop return? Loving this:

[Badlands]

He's headlining a fair few mid sized fests this year. Doubt we'll see him back to be honest.

I'm off to see Abdominal and the Obliques on Friday, not heard any of his solo stuff but will always have fond memories of that DJ Format album.

Probably right. Would be there in a flash if it happened though.

[FloorFiller]

that new song is formulaic shit, but i'd love to have Snoop back. one of my favourite sets ever in 2010. doubt he'll be back any time soon though - it seemed like quite a special booking at the time

[kalifire]

will always have fond memories of that DJ Format album.

Music For The Mature B-Boy is fantastic.

I'm embarrasingly late to this this, I know but the more I listen to it, the more I think RTJ2 is fantastic. Also, Scroobius Pip's podcast, 'distraction pieces' had a really good episode with Killer MIke a while back. Really inspiring stuff.
