i hate to be one of "those people" but its true
once something gets too popular in NY it's just impossible to enjoy
there's just too many damn people here

lineup looks dope tho

last year the main stage was crazy.
they need to add video screens for it.

i did have a great time at all of the smaller stages though.
i literally spent all my time there.

While the last couple of years were great, a previously MIA D'Angelo could headline a Coachella...not be crammed into a park.

Similar to Grace Jones.

I don't think you're going to have the same mob for Ice Cube, and that's a good thing

it was Lauryn who brought the hordes
can't believe she can still dupe that many people into coming out to see her "perform"

Or, because of him.

I thought it was a bit out of the Afropunk sphere with such megastar established acts. While last couple of years had heavier hitter headliners, I like this lineup overall.

Mainly because I want to dress my boys up in some far out gear.

I'm sure they wouldn't mind having a children orientated day since that'll attract more dollars and potential sponsorships on their end.

obvious idea that they should have considered at some point.


Let me go ahead and investigate throwing that event.

Kelea & the young fathers would be the only reason i'd go.

there's always next year!

We're going but we have some friends that are on that "fuck that, safe space" and not attending. I get that. But everything cool becomes co-opted.

ago. I know I didn't see more than 100 white people there, out of however many thousand black people that were there. I was expecting way more.

if Anderson.Paak was on this line up?

game set and match.

i was looking for him (them?) on the lineup too

hmm
tempted to go see george clinton just to pay my respects
not that i expect a particularly good show tho

he is on periscope all the time

anytime flying lotus and thundercat are at the same venue....it's worth it. throw in
janelle monae and the internet too? sheeeit. curious to know what shabazz
palaces and young fathers sounds like live....i dug their latest release.

granted....I saw them in closed-in venues twice. Their songs sound appropriately bigger live. There wasn't much interaction with the crowd but they have pretty tight sets that don't just stay on material from one project. The last time I saw them, they still had a couple mixtape songs thrown in with their stuff from the albums.

and Downtownboys

Is Sir The Baptist supposed to be faux religious or is he gospel?
