2013 Lineup Confirmation/Rumors Thread

[TheCountofMonteDisco]

Come with me

Run quick see.

Idiots are just mad because they sat on the board posting "No headliner has ever brought on multiple guests...look at Kanye, look at the Gorillaz, Dre and Snoop will be the same" etc. etc...and when Dre and Snoop proved you 100% wrong, you got pissed off and now decide to hate on their set when there aren't hundreds of people around to disagree with you like there were after coachella 2012

I hadn't been on this board in months and months before the last few days, but the overwhelming board consensus, in both the Dre/Snoop thread and the "best sets of 2012" thread was that the set was incredible and one of the best Sunday closers of the festival. I'm both surprised and not so surprised that everybody is retroactively panning it now. That was the biggest party the Polo Fields has ever seen, outside of Prince.

The only people that liked the Dr Dre and Snoop set were the ones that were born in the early 90's and were still in grade school when 2001 came out...

nah.... one of my favorite sets of the weekend. born 1980.

[gswhooper]

Agreed with Kanye needing a band. One of the reasons his Glow in the Dark tour was soooooooo damn good because he had the small orchestra with him. Enough with the simple DJ's in the backdrop Yeezy.

You aren't truly a fan of Dre and Snoop's music if you were a fan of them bringing out that many guests and taking away their show. They could have selected so many better songs and done such a better job at representing west coast hip hop.

Did you notice how many times Snoop disappeared to go smoke a blunt back stage? It was their show. Let them play it the way they want. I found it interesting that they brought out so many Dre acts. Seemed like Snoop was almost a sidekick. I've seen Snoop live before this, and he puts on a pretty good show all on his own. There was A LOT they could have done. Be happy.

Fucking A. I don't know who this guy is, but he has my approval.

Try not to become a dickhole.

Salton Sea folks are the worst

Bashing the Salton Sea is like hitting an old woman with glasses. Feel better?

It would have been nice if Dre performed Let Me Ride, Lil Ghetto Boy and a few other tracks off The Chronic, but anyone expecting him to perform a track like Dre Day is foolish. He won't perform that live ever again.

That set was great. The band was awesome. They played Deep Cover, which is better than any track they left out of their set.

I was born in 1979 and enjoyed Dre and Snoop's set. Guests didn't ruin it for me. I would have preferred to see more songs by only Dre and Snoop, but whatever. I wasn't expecting to be blown away, because Dre is not a great rapper, imo. He needed all the help he could get. Snoop was alright. It was fun set. Not in my top 10 of the year or anything, but certainly not ruined by guests.

Kanye killed it!

[nathanfairchild]

50 Cent was the final straw as far as i was concerned.

Why should I just be dismissive and accept happiness to an act that was closing out the festival and did a lackluster job at that?

[nathanfairchild]

i had the same reaction after dre that i did after gorillaz.

"is that it?"

[Boourns]

I wasn't there, but I wasn't too bothered about it after seeing the set list. Has 50 cent ever been good? No.

that was fucking stupid.

Dre has historically been a collaborator and ring leader above a solo artist. Are you kidding me. Look, Dre has been one of my favorite artists forever, and there are entire songs on Dre albums where he doesn't rap more than one verse, and many more where he doesn't rap AT ALL. Chronic was guest heavy, 2001 was even more so. By my count, there is ONE song from those albums combined that was only Dre. That means there are more songs that Dre was not on at all between those two albums, then there are songs where it was just Dre. This includes Xxplosive, one of the unquestionable 2001 classics.

People are complaining about 50 Cent and Eminem, but every song they performed was one DRE PRODUCED. In Da Club and 'Til I Collapse owe just as much of their power to Dre's production, more so than 50 or Eminem's flow. I don't see how you can listen to a Dre album and assume that it would just be him up there.

I guess you could have thrown in a couple Dre-centric album cuts, but what would that really have done? Killed the momentum for the 95% of the people that wanted to enjoy a collection of gigantic hits that Dre and Snoop touched, whether or not they were their songs or not, just so a couple white boys could stand around and smirk with superiority about how they were the only ones who knew Chronic album cuts?

[DropletsOfYes&No]

They need to pick one good hip hop headliner or sub each yeah and then build another Tent and let Murs and Guerilla Union have a Paid Dues Tent ... Problem Solved

Kanye puts on a decent show when he isn't being overly racist towards his hatred for white people. Maybe him and Lauryn Hill should headline. I think I have more street cred than that toe tapping fairy of an MC.

oh really? did you walk away from the set after he performed? No, you didn't you stayed and you enjoyed the rest of it, so shut the fuck up

How dare Dre bring out the artists he's produced for and started careers for, making their set have both classic and modern elements!! Guess I'm not truly a fan of Dre and Snoop's music because he did this and I didn't mind it, says some idiot on this board

[concertgoer]

that was fucking stupid.

Disagree it went with the theme of the set which was in part to bring out artists that owed some of their initial success to Dre.

[RotationSlimWang]

Then they should have booked it as Dr. Dre, etc. instead of Dre and Snoop. Snoop was up there for five fucking songs.

but 50 cent is terrible.

[DropletsOfYes&No]

It wouldnt have been that way had they(Gorillaz)utilized the holographics they way Dre. chose too.

[heart cooks brain]

those weren't hologams you fucking know nothing.

[nathanfairchild]

oh really? did you walk away from the set after he performed? No, you didn't you stayed and you enjoyed the rest of it, so shut the fuck up

oh go fuck your mother. can the baby not stand for someone to not like something they did. of course i stayed until the end, but every time they brought out a new guest it just felt like i was counting down until they finished their shitty song or two and it went back to dre and snoop.

Maybe dat's what the new tent is 4!
