Hip-Hop Acts Coachella 2014

[GuyInTucson]

Drake is a no brainer... yet to make a Coachella appearance. He will likely close outdoor theater one night

also likely or possible..
Eminem (headliner doubtful but he would get main stage i hope not though)
Kendrick Lamar (if no Drake next choice for popular new rapper)
RiFF RaFF (daytime set and cameo with Diplo/Major Lazer)
LL Cool J (oldschool appeal, touring again)
Chance The Rapper (for the pitchfork groupies)
Rick Ross (not sure but he would fit the bill if Drake doesnt come out)
Big Sean (same as above)
Goodie Mob (possible)
Schoolboy Q (gaining popularity)
Dom Kennedy (releasing a lot of material in 2013)
Dizzee Rascal (international appeal, new album)


unlikely but possible rap/rock hybrids
Rage Against the Machine (oldschool appeal)
Limp Bizkit

[Neighborhood Creep]

Rick Ross would be legit

[M0D3Z]

Rick Ross would be legit

The REAL Rick Ross? or the fake one being sued for stealing a mans identity? I heard Fake beards are the new Black too...

[TanTan]

Rick Ross would be fine if he played the same slot that 2 Chainz did. I don't see any of the guys mentioned above being a realistic headliner except Eminem. Kendrick will surely be back soon, but no way he gets top billing.

[gmoneyak]

After catching them last weekend, I'd throw in P.O.S. along with the Doomtree crew.

[GuyInTucson]

Rick Ross is a sloppy piece of shit who is sub-mediocre as a rapper.

Outkast

Let's make these happen over the course of the next three or four years. I'm down for 2014, but we have to stay positive if Outkast doesn't happen right now. Will it to be.

[travelfan]

Dizzee Rascal is a blast live, I'd show up.

[TanTan]

The Game? Really? Dude hasnt been relevant since like 2006. Dude isnt even on the radar of Summer Jam or Rock the Bells, let alone Coachella.

really?????? have you even listened to Jesus Piece, LAX, R.E.D album? (which all were #1 selling hiphop albums by the way) Or do you just listen to flo rider and consider that hip hop?

[Larry Farnsworth]

People really want to see the Game? About the most boring, dickriding-est MC out. Pass.

Yea I have listened to them, and theyre pretty bad. In other news, flo rida is worse...so at least the game has that going for him..

[TanTan]

Not to mention Game is at the point in his career you could probably catch him on tour at your local county fair for $12

[maggster93]

EMINEM

[TheVelvetSmudge]

EMINEM headlined with Dre and Snoop, so... No. Official.

[Josephjuliann]

Yes to Jedi Mind Tricks plz.

[Sohi23]

1 thing I need for sure is Schoolboy Q closing a tent in that ASAP Rocky 2011 spot.

Would love ATCQ or 50 Cent on the main or outdoor stage
Gibbs & Madlib (would be awesome, have Madlib do double duty w/ DOOM too lol)
N*E*R*D
a Clipse reunion
Scarface
Sean Price

Riff Raff & Chance make sense too

[mikey1313666]

EMINEM headlined with Dre and Snoop, so... No. Official.

How do you figure that

[TheVelvetSmudge]

Were you there. or not? Eminem has been headlining festivals in the last three years or so. Coachella decided to get Dre and Snoop, which included 50 Cent, Wiz, Eminem, etc. which pretty much eliminated all of them from headlining any time in the future. I'm proud of Coachella for saying fuck you to all the other festivals. Eminem came out as a guest to the headliner, and doesn't need to come back to perform his three most cherished songs as a headliner. The dude really isn't that talented. Not sure how else to explain his lack of headlining any time soon to you.

[TanTan]

huh?

So you're telling me that R Kelly headlined Coachella this year because he performed a song or two with Phoenix?

errr no

[TheVelvetSmudge]

errr no

I'm telling you that R Kelly got as close to headlining Coachella as he'll ever get again, and that Eminem won't be headlining Coachella any time soon. Does that clear up your acne?

[mikey1313666]

I would very much like THIS explanation, Zafo......smudge..

[TheVelvetSmudge]

What exactly are you asking for here, mikey.....unknowntwat..? Your implications are boring. Why would you even want Eminem to headline, or argue that it's possible? Some special w-trash childhood memory that most of us can't relate to? Some Puddle of Mudd mommy/ daddy hating issues that you want to share with fifty thousand other attendees? Just share your abuse stories here so we can have fun when we get to Coachella*
