Is To Pimp A Butterfly considered better than Untitled and Good Kid?

GKMC is far better than TPAB in my opinion.

Untitled isn't that good really.

Wow, with a straight face as well? What am i missing, i thought he was a rubbish run of the mill r'n'b star.

The most critically acclaimed artist of his generation and a huge commercial force. Why are you using RnB as if it's some sort of put-down?

Begone, troll guy.

Can we choose to give this no credence as well 

But is Glastonbury ready?

I don't think it was even ready for a Biffy Clyro -> Ed Sheeran double header ?

Likewise I've always fancied being the lead in one of those Marvel movies they have now.

Well if it is Muse when we were all expecting Kendrick....

Maybe by "damn" he was referring to the collective reaction when Muse are announced.

Then again for Rock Werchter attendees the only criteria for a good headliner seems to be that it's a rock band. They seem to want Muse to headline, in fact.

[crocodiles]

Ok I'll admit it I'm old I have no idea about Kendrick Lamar just a name my kids mention now and again ?

The True Kendrick Fan knows that Section.80 is actually his finest work, although TPAB is indeed his magnum opus

[priest17]

An Even Truer Kendrick Fan knows his best album is NATION.

Boring live, Amy.

Tweet from a promoter and manager. Probably just an educated guess, but maybe he knows...?

He also says Isle of Wight is the best festival in the world, so I'm not going to believe him just yet.

Personally I think Biffy Clyro should be given a chance to headline. Give them the Friday night slot and I think they would absolutely go for it.

He called IOW the best festival in the world and Blossoms' takeover of a non-league ground the most important gig of 2019. Clearly lives in Opposite Land and none of those acts are playing the festival they're named for.

Not to mention this.

1. Not a hope of Dylan headlining a major festival. Literally not a fucking hope. 

2. This lad describes IOW as "the best festival in the world". 

[CaledonianGonzo]

Funnily enough I dunno if I'd discount it.

Anyone hooked into the Bobcat network to know if The Dyl is even in Europe next summer?

Although to put Macca in he'd probably have to have some inside info or be up to date on forums such as these. Can't think he'd just pull that name out as he's not nailed onto doing any festivals next summer is he? So could be based on some info

The Never-Ending Tour doesn’t seem to have dates beyond December. But then, I expect you know that already 

[Bradders]

He’ll just read rumours like every other bullshitter wanting to sound ITK. No reason a manager of a low-level band would know something like that.

Looking through his tweets etc, he does seem like a guy who doesn't really have a clue

As a Dylan fan, I'd agree... but believe it or not, last year he headlined Fuji Rock - 125,000 capacity - alongside Kendrick Lamar and NERD.

Giddings tweeted something about celebrating 50 years since Dylan's '69 IOW set.

[CaledonianGonzo]

Not headlining, but he played Oldchella too.  I could just about believe it would happen.

Well both him and Emily hinted at it on live radio and I imagine that has been covered on music sites/magazines like the NME.
