Hip-Hop

Bronson, Doomtree and Ghostface would all be killer bookings.

Doomtree wasn't an act I was expecting, though. Have they released new material? I thought their last albums was some time ago. Hang on, I can answer that.... oh shit! Yes, just the other month! Well, that's getting listened to shortly. I loved this one:

Also hoping for Earl Sweatshirt. He's active (new album just released) and touring festivals internationally, so he's a good shout.

anybody thus far who could take the Friday Pyramid hip-hop slot? (sorry if this has been covered already). not seeing anybody myself which is odd as there's usually one name that sticks out, or are they just gonna forego it this year due to the Pyramid hip-hop quota being filled by Kanye?

I don't mind RTJ, not big on them though. Nothing that stands out from a hip-hop pov for me at the moment (Kanye obv)

Yeah, I was thinking that. Hopefully there will be one like Wu Tang Clan/Public Enemy coming!

Where abouts is this? Would be a laugh after a few bevvies in me

In the park normally in the afternoon about 3pm on a couple of days. It is good.

Yeah I reckon they might unless it's Azealia Banks like six down or something.

I wanted The Roots :/

Didn't we all!

Pharrell at Wireless last summer played a lot of NERD and early career stuff so there'll be plenty of hip hop there.

Oh sweet will probably be around the park at that time anyway thanks

Hoping for little simz somewhere on the line-up.

She's fucking great. It's a shame there's not much british hip-hop on the line-up atm, not cause I'm a "british line-ups for british people" type of bore, but the whole grime scene and underground british hip hop is just fucking great at the moment

There is a group from scotland called Young Fathers

Wouldn't classify young fathers as representative of the british hip hop/grime scenes that are doing really well at the moment.

I'm more talking about the fact that it'd be sick to see acts like novelist, stormzy, any of bbk, little simz, giggs, jay prince, loyle carner, jesse james solomon get decent slots.

Yung Lean is Netherlands playing at Best Kept Secret Festival the weekend before Glastonbury

I'm hoping for Stormzy. Also Krept & Konan are TBC on here I think.

Good lord if this is true. Lets have a Nas Illmatic set just for the hell of it. GOAT.

The Roots have announced a show at O2 Academy Brixton on the 10th July. They're in Amsterdam on the 8th. One can hope.

Oh man I want to go to this gig.

I'm at another festival already.

Goddamn.

Sadly they've got a gig in Los Angeles on the Saturday. They're in the UK before that for Parklife so it's possible they could do the Friday but very unlikely. A huge shame. They're one of my Glastonbury dream acts.
