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.

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!

wow, i had only heard Why?'s latest album until now. i didnt know they had hip-hop leanings in their earlier works. I had never heard Why?'s latest album until yesterday, and had only listened to some old stuff a couple times over a year ago. They sure don't sound like hip hop anymore. My bad.
