Hip-Hop

[dentalplan]

One of my favourite rappers as a teenager. The Rum Shack will be rammed though won't it? I guess that's a downside of the individual stage announcements; the exposure is good but not when it's someone doing an intimate set.

[Badlands]

Is the Rum Shack by The Temple? That was where Kate Tempest was on last year wannit?

[Badlands]

Went to see Young Fathers last night, second time I've seen them this year. Boooooom.... what a show. They're utterly captivating live, mesmerising. They're almost uncomfortably intense onstage. I went with a couple of people who weren't too fussed on record but they were blown away by them.

I hope they do a smaller show somewhere as well.

[DefLeppard]

Stormzy, Skepta, Krept & Konan and Doomtree wooooo

[kalifire]

Hip hop is slowly shaping up a bit this year. I hope nobody clashes (still can't get over two of the very few acts in 2014 going against each other). Mouse Outfit, Doomtree, Akala and Kanye are all great acts. Still really hoping for Ghostface Killah and Earl Sweatshirt, maybe some Action Bronson as well, if I'm being greedy.

I'm not at all familiar with Young Fathers - I must look them up. Any tips?

[Mardy]

He could, but why would you want him to? He's playing in an intimate venue, and on the Thursday so clashes are far less likely. I say go for it!

He's a very intelligent, eloquent guy. I want a show that's just him and Killer Mike discussing the world's problems.

I saw this the other night, was really impressed by him in an otherwise mediocre show. It prompted me to check out his music. Was hoping he might be on the bill somewhere. Good news!

And yeah, him and killer mike at the free university of glastonbury or something would be awesome. Great idea.

They're not hip hop in the conventional sense, it's pretty difficult to label them to be honest. They've got a Tricky / Massive Attack vibe to them, really menacing. Their records are good but live they're unreal.

Absolutely ecstatic at the prospect of Doomtree. Always been an act I've wanted to "tick off". What are the chances of some solo sets from Dessa and/or POS? surely it'd make sense to do it since they're there

Just discovered Akua Naru thanks to Brave Sir Robin's playlist, and I'm loving what I've heard so far. Playing a couple of times over the weekend.

Her Glade set overlaps with Run the Jewels.

Why do you do these things to us, oh mighty and terrible lineup gods?

Edit: What am I on, the Glade is about ten minutes from West Holts, I can still catch most of her set. Glory be!

Probably end up seeing Kanye, might see RTJ if there's nothing else on. Not really impressed with the Hip-Hop presence this year but nevermind!

Yeah me too! She clashes with Motörhead, which is a bitch for me. But think it would be awesome on the glade.

Never listened to them but just given a few of their YouTube videos a listen. Doesn't make me want to see them but I might listen to more before the festival.

Aye there isn't much hip hop I'm interested in this year, but those two that you mentioned are two of my absolute favourites so I'm pretty happy!

[FuzzyDunlop]

Pretty sure this will have been mentioned (I can't be bothered going through it all!) But DJ Yoda has a live hip hop band with him this year in the glade on Sunday afternoon.

The breakfast of champions.

Im definitely going to the thursday gig anyway, always liked the look of the rum shack. Just thought a chance he could pop up somewhere else, had a couple chances to see him but both fell through. Was just listening to his fire in the booths again to get hyped! Have you seen him on question time destroying Tommy Robinson, ex-BNP i think. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh03JO6EFjo

I'd never heard of this guy til watching that video...

Class. Really liked that

[kalifire]

There are a few acts (Kanye, RTJ, Doomtree, Akala, Mouse Outfit) but overall it's a pretty poor hip hop line up in my opinion.

When you think that the following acts are in the UK in the same month: Earl Sweatshirt, Nas, The Roots, Action Bronson, Kendrick Lamar, Wu Tang... it makes it sting that Glastonbury haven't done better for hip hop.

[EZYSEY]

Yeah really liking Mouse Outfit at the moment. New album is great.

New album is wicked. I'll be watching them Saturday night. Think they're playing Hell Sunday as well.

[calcium_kid]

Will definitely try to make sure I can get to Dirty Dike, Jam Baxter, and DJ Sammy B-Side at Salon Carousel, though they are on at 3am on the Saturday morning.

Didn't think it would happen even when Ice Cube said it but it's coming on Friday.

Damn.

 

I'd really love another petition. 

[Amy Lawn]

Will it be shit?

[the wonderwhy]

Will it be shit?

 

The track with Eminem on will be 

[Badlands]

If his most recent output is anything to judge. Kush and that Need a Doctor one were both shite.
