Would love to see MF Doom, not that familiar with his stuff but liked what I've heard. Old school would love some Run DMC or Public Enemy.

John the Moth Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Wu Tang Clanare active and pushing some 30th anniversary stuff, so guess there might be an outside chance. De la Soul has an afternoon pyramid slot in 2015 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gucci Piggy Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 I'm confused, Phife Dawg died over a year before ATCQ were supposed to be playing Glasto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah they had an album out which he was on and then when they finished that tour they called it a day I believe. They were heavily rumoured but the tour got pulled or something, can't fully remember what happened but I guess that was the end of them playing though, whatever the reason.

Yeah it was meant to be their final tour but they cancelled some of it. It wasn't because Phife Dawg died, though, as they still did part of the tour and I'm pretty sure he was dead when it was announced. That Friday night was already a clash nightmare, though, so if they had ended up headlining West Holts as was rumoured I'd have missed em anyway.

fatyeti24 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Cypress Hill's new album is a really good Cypress Hill album if you're the kind of person who enjoys that. I reckon there's a fair chance they'll be about next summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagelaureate Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) @H.M.V I've met Darryl a couple of times, at conventions and things as he has a publishing firm/comic company on the side - he has always been really approachable. I once asked him why he didn't wear laces and how he kept his shoes on... Apparently when you bought Adidas back in the day, laces were separate and he couldn't afford them, so he used to buy his shoes a half size too small to keep them on. Random fact of the day for you there. ? Edited October 28, 2018 by vintagelaureate 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supernintendo Chalmers Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 For anyone with Netflix, Hip-Hop Evolution season 2 has been recently added. S1 was great, S2 goes a bit deeper. A KRS-One set on the Hell Stage would be a madness. He's touring the UK in May... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gnomicide Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Saw Sugarhill Gang & Furious Five at Bearded Theory a couple of years back, tremendous fun even though it felt a bit like a zumba class with all the instructions.

Tommy Dickfingers Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Didn’t realise they’d played. Whole crew as well? Class I’ll scan the set list now. Where did they play? My first Glastonbury was 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to some of the DMC world champions he doesn't come close but he's considered one of the originators of mixing and scratching so by virtue of that alone he rightfully has legendary status. However, some detractors consider him a fraud due to his limited production/writing input during the Furious Five years. I saw him a few years back and he practically played an EDM set and it wasn't good. Fully expected him to be dropping old skool bombs and he played stuff like the A-Trak remix of Heads Will Roll by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

fatyeti24 Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Plus he uses digital equipment. Which is fine, except for when the one thing you're famous for is using and pioneering vinyl techniques. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kalifire Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 (edited) Nas has been touring Illmatic in full for a while now. It was what I attended on my first night in Australia when I migrated here in 2015, and it was brilliant. Would love to see that on the Farm.

It's not the technology per se that I take issue with, it's more that I'd like to see one of the pioneers of the genre show us the skills he made his name with.

Badlands Posted October 28, 2018 Report Share Posted October 28, 2018 Annual reminder that Flash dropped the sort of set list that you’d expect at wedding when I saw him!! Come on Eileen and 500 Miles were in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
