Black Star to me would be 15-20 on the order. I see a what/which stage day time slot; or a late night tent, but hopefully that's Blakroc. Also see one big latenight rap act (think its Dre), Lauryn Hill in the Badu slot, Big Boi, Black Star, OFWGTKA (sp?), John Legend & The Roots, and 1-2 more smaller acts, maybe Lupe and Curren$y.
Outside of Pac coming back from the dead, Black Star is my NUMBER ONE hip-hop dream act for Bonnaroo. This is fantastically amazing. Like candy raindrops and milk chocolate rivers.
My assumption is that Black Star will be between 10 and 15 on the line-up with a 90-110min show; giving them a ton of time to bounce back and forth between their own records. That's what I'm excited for -- Mos Def doing tracks from Ecstatic and then flashing over to Talib doing a whole volley of stuff.
Seems like it should be either LN or during that afternoon 3:30 -> ? slot on Friday?
None until we learn which acts actually will be there. I definitely think Black Star will have some late night slot like Kweli had in 2008 though. Sharing a late night tent with other rap acts. It just doesn't seem like a day-time act to me.
Black Star into Roots w/ John Legend Late Night? Thats Probably the best case scenario I can think of.
Blakroc would be so awesome. And it would make sense with what that guy who claims to know Pat's dad keeps saying about The Black Keys returning. I don't see them returning after such a high-profile slot, but if they played with Blakroc, that would be a big, unique get for 'roo, and I think a lot of people would love it!
I could see Curren$y performing Muscle Car Chronicles actually. Considering he has performed with the Disco Biscuits before and worked with Brownstein for Muscle Car, it wouldn't be a stretch. Ski Beatz also has a live band that he can perform with called The Senseis.
this is perfect for bonnaroo. ive seen Blackstar open up for Tribe back in 98 or 99 and it was awesome! at rock the bells talib came out during mos defs set and did some blackstar songs and his own songs. this should be great!
One of the first shows I ever went to was blackstar opening for tribe, my dad took me and it CHANGED MY LIFE. And Mos Def can do no wrong in my eyes (except 16 Blocks), everything he says is pure truth.
thats awesome! where was the show? mine was at hammerstein ballroom in NY.
This is the first message board I've ever been on, the only reason I joined is because I love Bonnaroo and wanted to read and talk about it all year long.
