Rappers don't age like rock musicians?


On a side note I bought the new Kid Cudi CD. Aside from some of the poppy songs on it which were just made for the radio, his lyrics are pretty great & some songs are good authentic hip hop... Alot of people haven't heard the stuff they don't play on the radio which is definitely worth checking out.



I can agree with you... I've been an event DJ for a few years now, and that means having to listen to "Day N' Nite" more than I care to admit too, but after finally getting over my eliteism, I did find some strong writing in his lyrics. I was impressed. With that being said, as Kid Cudi has been doing collaborations and covers of other various artists... ("Pursuit of Happiness" with MGMT and "The Prayer," a cover of Band of Horses "The Funeral,") and these artists also playing the festival, what would you say the likelihood of seeing some of these collaborations live?

I don't know its quite a coincidence to be honest.
I don't think 'the prayer' with BoH will occur but I could definitely see Kid Cudi performing on stage with MGMT & doing a song...

Yeah.... That's what I was thinking too. But hot damn if that wouldn't be one of the coolest things to see.

Ali > Chuck D.

Ali is dope as hell live, its good to see him play a large venue rather than the small ass bar I see him every year.

Other collaboration possibilities.

Flavor Flav was a guest on a Brother Ali track.
Chuck D was a guest on a Z-Trip track.

sort of hip hop:

any chance we get some Hymie's Basement during Why?'s set?


to die for. but no. we'll get new songs off of Eskimo Snow and some from Alopecia (i wanna hear Torpedo Or Crohns) and possibly a few from Elephant Eyelash. my friend in Glasgow just saw them and gave me a rundown of the set list.

ps shabazz = digible planets



last time i saw them they played a killer version of 21st Century Pop Song. I was really surprised that they didn't play rubber traits or Sanddollars but otherwise the setlist was great

shabazz palaces
The main guy from shabazz palaces was in digible planets. He uses african beats which is really awesome live. the lyrics are not anything special but over all it is very interesting to listen to.

I'm a huge fan of hip-hop, and Brother Ali's set is my most anticipated of the festival next to Pavement. Public Enemy should also be great, even if Terminator X is no longer with them.

Kid Cudi is meh to me. He has some good ideas, but I honestly don't think he's a very talented singer, rapper, or lyricist. Wale sucks imo. So does Fresh Espresso and most other Seattle hip-hop artists outside of Grayskul and Sadistik.


I've listened to two Brother Ali albums three or four times, but with so much new music to get into, no one really has enough time to intently listen to each act initially. I spent 20 minutes staring into space concentrating on his lyrics this morning, and man, dude is insane. He is quickly moving towards the most highly anticipated act of the festival for me as well.

Watcha' Got is the song that stood out to me after a few listens, so that might be a good song to start with for people who have never listened to him. humanequation would be a much better source for the goods though.


Here are some Brother Ali videos that I recommend. He's the type of artist that puts so much passion into his music that you have to just immerse yourself in it. Anyone looking for background music should look elsewhere.

















And this is just the beginning. Everything this guy puts out is full of passion and pure talent. He has three studio albums- "Shadows on the Sun," "The Undisputed Truth," and "Us," all of which are outstanding.

1. Brother Ali (no way I'm missing him)
2. Public Enemy (definitely seeing unless The National is at the same time)
3. Why? (like them, but doubt I'll see them since the line-up is so stacked)
4. Shabazz Palaces (decent for a main stage opener, better than Blue Scholars and Dyme Def at least)
5. Kid Cudi (I'll only see him if there's really nothing else at the same time)
6. Fresh Espresso (good live from what I've heard, but I really dislike their music)
7. Wale (hate his music, so there's no way I'm seeing his set)

Public Enemy
- Hit or Miss Live. I've seen them and been blown away and seen them and been disappointed. Hopefully they stay away from medley's and some of the weaker new stuff and just "bring the noize!"

Brother Ali
- Never seen him but have heard he is one of the better live rappers out there. Really looking forward to his set

Kid Cudi
- Like the record, not convinced it will work well live, especially on a big stage during the daytime.

Wale
- like the record, live show is WHACK!
