Which Hip Hop artist do you think is gonna be the best?
I am gonna say the Roots. I've heard their great live. Unless you consider Rage hip-hop. I know they're not but Zack can bring it like any MC alive.
Ya, Rage are kinda on the edge. Same with DJ Shadow but I threw him in anyway.
me
ME
i am going to be bringing the HIP HOP
only the shallow know themselves
-oscar wilde
what a beautiful face i have found in this place
The Roots will throw it down for reals. Lupe Fiasco will be ill. And Ozomatli will be a fuckin party.
yep...the roots are AMAZING live...you arent human if you stand still at their shows...
it's a hard decision between roots and brother ali
Jebus loves me
It's a toss up between Ali and the Roots but I have the Roots by a slight edge over Ali.
El-P
How can you leave El-P out? Everybody makes these polls but leaves out a bunch of artists.
The Roots followed by Ghostface and Brother Ali.
Seriously, especially when there's so little hip hop at Coachella....Irrelevant though, the only answer to the topic question is The Roots.
Is Rage hip hop? They're headlining Rock the Bells, so someone thinks they're credible. But maybe this is the end of hip hop as we know it...
Ron Paul 2012!
Upcoming Shows:
Four Tet
Coachella 4/20-4/22
Death Cab for Cutie/Magik Magik Orchestra
Radiohead
some other bands
I don't think Spank Rock is really Hip-Hop. They don't belong in the same category as the Roots, they are totally different (seen their live show? You'll know what I mean...)
We got the fly rhymes on the hustle and grind
i voted roots, they're probably my favourite band at the moment, seen them live a couple of times (reading fest and shepards bush empire) and they were top class.
spank rock is pretty damn good aswell, he's got a fabriclive cd out which sort of mixes hip hop electro house party tunes together, tho he'll more than likely be performing his tracks live, shame tho cos that cd is ace
The Roots
Ghostface Killah
Lupe Fiasco
DJ Shadow (outsider)
in that order!
busdriver sucks live and i'm sure el-p sucks live also. why is lupe fiasco up there when pharaohe isn't?
either way I voted for ghostface but it was him or the copu
Well, I'm that lone vote for The Coup right now. I saw him a couple weeks ago and it was a pretty incredible show. I had to throw him some support.
Honestly, I'm looking forward to seeing Ghostface since, well, he's Ghostface and Fishscale is so so good.
The Coup are going to be the shit, it's really a joke how low they are on the flyer, although Happy Mondays and Crowded House are above the Roots so basically the flyers are worthless.
1.) Zach de la Rocha
1.5) EL-P (have you even heard the new album???!!! wowzers)
1.75) DJ Shadow(pssh...how can you NOT label him hip hop)
2) Roots
3.) Pharoach Monch (You guys left him out too)
4.) Ghostface Killah
Lupe doesn't get of my list....
Tha Roots put on a hellofashow, Ive seen Pharoahe Monch and is a close second for who I've seen...but damn sure lookin forward to Brother Ali and El-P..
Does anyone think that the roots are playing the same time as rage, if so I will be too pissed
Ghostface, followed by Busdriver.
Busdriver is fucking nuts live, I saw him do two songs with Z-Trip a couple years back and it knocked me on my ass...
I gotta rep the Bay and pick the Coup. However, I really think its gonna be SpankRock.
