Gingerpops Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I know Kanye is headlining and Run the Hewels have been announced. But I was hoping to see a lot more hip hop this year. Parklife in particular has loads of great acts on. Nas doing Illmatic, Wu Tang, The Roots, and Earl Sweatshirt. Kendrick Lamar is at Leeds/Reading. Do you think there's any room for some more to be announced? Was also hoping to see DAngelo announced, thought he would be a great fit for high up on West Holts. Fingers crossed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 aye i'm somewhat disappointed with the lack of hip-hop this year - especially with them seemingly getting rid of the Friday midday Pyramid hip-hop act (unless one is yet to be announced). the ones they've announced (Kanye, Run The Jewels) are two of my absolute favourites, but i'm really hoping we get some more names in the full announcement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kalifire Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Hoping for more here as well. Glastonbury has never been well known for accommodating hip hop but there are usually more artists on the bill than get announced as part of their posters etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Nal Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kanye, Pharrell, Mary J Blige, Run the Jewels, Can't think of a year where theres been as many big hip hop artists as that on the lineup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImGonnaLive4eva Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I think there are a few acts on that initial line up, it's just there are none to my liking. I was hoping for roots manuva, cypress hill, Jurassic 5, or any sort of old school hip hop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kanye, Pharrell, Mary J Blige, Run the Jewels, Can't think of a year where theres been as many big hip hop artists as that on the lineup? hmm Pharrell USED to be hip-hop, but you can hardly call what he's currently doing hip-hop at all, and i'd call Mary J Blige RnB more than straight up hip-hop (although there are elements in there) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brave Sir Robin Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Krept & Konan are TBC and a guy called Jovel has self-confirmed. And then for 'chap-hop' there's Professor Elemental... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sloseph Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Kate Tempest is also one to check out if your looking for hip hop i'd love to see more come on the lineup but as it stands i'll take what we've got Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely one of my must sees Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DefLeppard Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I am also hoping for more. Would have loved Cypress Hill to play. A Tribe Called Quest would be the ultimate dream! RTJ, Kanye and Kate Tempest are great so I'm just hoping for a couple more small ones at the very least. BBNG & Ghostface is a realistic target I reckon and that would be amazing.

merago Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I guess Young Fathers could be considered hip hip too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloorFiller Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 I guess Young Fathers could be considered hip hip too keep forgetting they're playing. will probably give em a miss this year as they couldn't possibly top their early set at the Park last year, but if there's no clashes there i'll hopefully be there. reckon they'll be in JP this year though, unfortunately Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FloorFiller Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 What about Flying Lotus? Surprised to not see his name mentioned here! more electronic imo but yeah he definitely falls in to the bracket. i'm just trying not to think about him as i'm almost certain i'm gonna have to miss him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt - Ed Banger Records Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Chap-Hop is one of the worst things I have ever heard in my life, absolutely abysmal across the entire genre, not to mention the mere term 'chap-hop' makes my skin crawl.

EZYSEY Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Mark Ronsons early stuff was Hip Hop as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EighteenSixty7 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Also hoping for more. Not that bothered about Run The Jewels nor Kanye's newer stuff. Pharrell's first album was hip-hop but I wouldn't go see him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostdancer1 Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 surprised that ASAP Rocky isn't announced (yet). he's playing Bravalla in Sweden on the Thursday, then no appearances for Glastonbury weekend, then playing Open'er in Poland the following Wednesday surely he's going to have at least 1 european date in those 5 or so days off...
