    • Unlikely - Know a couple of songs but there would probably be something else on you'd watch instead.

Nah. Emily booked Kendrick Lamar to play a hip hop set. If people going in have only heard 1 song and aren't a big fan of hip hop, that's on them.

Blanket brigade spitting feathers when Maroon 5 haven't emerged by the third song.

No argument there, but there's still a wide gamut of ways a hip hop set can turn out - and I'm not convinced that designing a set to appeal to hardcore fans only and exclude the rest is a successful tactic to triumph on El Pointo.  In any genre. Just ask Springsteen.

Who said anything about appealing to hardcore only? It'll be the 2nd show of a new album. The likelihood is that he'll do 5-6 songs of this album. His Vegas show was 26 songs but normally he does 19 -20. Which means a gold 3rd of the set would be new album.

A half hour of this in the middle of the set would go over like Kanye's Bon Iver section.

Father Time, Purple Hearts, Auntie Diaries, Mr Morale, Mother I Sober and Mirror are the early highlights for me 

United In Grief, N95, Father Time, Purple Hearts, Count Me Out, Auntie Diaries, Mr Morale, Mother I Sober and Mirror are my highlights.

Thought rich in spirit had great production but my finger was hovering over skip a bit.

There are some absolutely incredible moments in this.

I could do without We Cry Together. I get it but not for me and will be an auto skip.

Agreed. Rate the artistry and the intent, will probably have a handful plays at most though no matter how much I re-run this.

I fast-fwd through the second half of Blame Game too, and MBDTF is a top 5 all-time album for me. It happens.

He's got 18 songs to pick from. Theres some very heavy songs on it that won't go down well, but pick the right songs and mix in his other bangers and it'll be an all time set. 

It'll be interesting to see how much the BBC bleep out. I can't see it but hearing Auntie Diaries on the Pyramid would wreck me.

On recent evidence, BBC probably gonna bleep out a whole pro-trans song.
