Who will Kanye bring out as guest stars?

[foaminjectedaxlrose]

Jay Z brought out Beyonce. Who will Kanye have?

At SXSW he had Jay Z, John Legend and Kid Cudi to name a few.

Thoughts?

[concertgoer]

I wouldn't expect more than one or two guest stars and I doubt that Jay will be there
I hope I am wrong though

[spiralcase]

you know he's going to go big. he's closing the festival.
elton john?
rza?
pusha T?
fuck man its gonna be dope.

Did you really just say elton john? Seriously?

No, you can't be serious about that.

Elton John is playing in Peoria, IL for one thing on 4/17/11

And, who exactly do you think would pay Elton's gigantic appearance fee for a song or two? You think Kanye's going to do just throw that kind of money to make it extra special on a song? Or you think Coachella would be down for that? Come on, guys, let's get real.

Pusha T will be there. Nobody else. Check what happened in Lolla in Chile a little bit ago. Pusha T.

Rihanna is a likely bet

No it's not

Pusha T was his special guest in Chile a week ago. Expect that. I wouldn't expect much more. It's Kanye. He does his own thing.

Yeah Pusha T should be there. I blame the booze and the jetlag for not saying that right away

Remember what you all were saying in this thread? Hope you didn't get your hopes up too high... lol

did he have ANY guests?

[bdb23]

did he have ANY guests?

Yep. about what I kept saying. Pusha T.

Just wonder how disappointed those expecting "Elton John", "Rihanna", and "Lil Wayne" were... lol.

He also had Justin Vernon (Bon Iver) there. Didn't introduce or mention either Vernon or Pusha by name though - they were essentially background flourishes. I'd love to hear from Kanye himself on why certain people did or didn't guest (Rhianna was in the crowd, for example). It worked completely for me - it was HIS show, and nobody else could steal it, screw it up, or in any way deflect criticism/praise from him - but I want to hear his mindset about the whole thing.

[concertgoer]

Everyone thought that Jay-Z would all these special guests last year and he had one. though Beyonce was fucking awesome

kid cudi is playing in la monday, id say that hes a lock

[foaminjectedaxlrose]

It would never happen, but if Lupe came out for Touch the Sky I would for sure need new shorts

Lupe's out on a major-huge-venue tour. Playing in NH on 4/16.... you're right it will never happen.

[foaminjectedaxlrose]

Lolla Chile is also in Chile... Whereas Coachella is in the backyard of a lot of musicians. Beyonce didn't show up at Bonnaroo when Jay played last year

Stop with the Beyonce and Jay thing... Beyonce is married to Jay. Kanye isn't married to Rihanna, or anyone else.

Coachella is in nobodys backyard it's a long drive from LA, PHX, etc... you still pay to fly them, and pay appearance fees. Anything is possible obviously... but people expecting Elton John are going to be extremely disappointed.

Expect Pusha T. Don't expect anyone else. You might get lucky though.

Guedita!

[Mr. Dylanja]

Lupe would be cool. Lil Wayne's tour w/ Nicki Minaj is in Phoenix on Tuesday.

I sure wouldn't mind seeing Rhianna.

Tours in Phoenix and southern cali actually make the most sense if there is a major surprise. But that said, it won't be Wayne. Nicki could happen though. Wayne is too big, expensive and Kanye nor Coachella would want a special guest of Kanye's to be bigger and outshine Kanye.

Yup... Weezy maybe? That would be glorious...

[bdb23]

Also, speculation should begin with GOOD music artists, Kanye's been big uppin' his Label past couple years with appearances. i.e. Pusha T.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Wayne would not outshine Kanye, and do you know what Kanye or the festival would want? I think both of them, more than money, want the set to be memorable. I'm not saying there will or there won't, but it's fucking Kanye, he's been bringing guest out for quite a while now.


I consider Pusha T a lock.

No. I actually I'm 100% postive Kanye cares more about the money than he does about your memories. As he should. That's he gets the big contract. Lil Wayne is too big for Kanye's liking at a event that Kanye's supposed to be headlining. It's not in Kanye's personality to want that. Really? Post other festivals he's headlined recently that he's brought out guests as big as Wayne. I'd love to see a list.

There you go.

Kanye brought out everyone for SXSW (including Jay-Z). Not saying it will be even remotely the same, since everyone is at SXSW, but Kanye has a lot of friends that would do it just because. Not to mention that a lot of the people who could be brought out may be at Coachella as guests, anyway.

On that note, don't expect anyone.. and be pleasantly surprised at who does show up. Hell, he may go on at 11:30 and only perform for 30 minutes.. It is Kanye, afterall.

SXSW is a very different thing than Coachella.

Very hard to compare. I heard that was a disaster... 2000 people let in?

I acknowledged that it wasn't the same. Reading comprehension.

Also, everything I read said it was amazing. Who cares how many people are let in? That's the nature of a show, only so many spots to go around in the audience.
