En realidad, Coachella es una gigantesca fiesta para los integrantes de la comunidad [...]

Daft Punk en Coachella 2006 El festival Coachella es uno de los que provocan más emoción e historias de todo el mundo, además del exorbitante ruido que genera alrededor del cartel, aún semanas antes de ver la luz. Toda esta euforia sólo sucede por una razón: las memorables presentaciones de los artistas que pasan por Indio, California, cada año. Coachella se ha caracterizado por darnos conciertos especiales, conciertos que no podremos ver ni vivir en otro lugar. Algunas son reuniones que creíamos imposibles, otras presentaciones únicos o actuaciones que jamás se habían visto. [...]

Get ready to lose your goddamn mind rap fans, because in case you have been living under an anti-hiphop rock, Kendrick Lamar released a new album good kid, m.A.A.d. city , and it is on fire. I have always found Lamar a little hit and miss, but this album is getting amazing reviews and after a few listens, I would agree that this is some of his best work to date. With this album he has cemented himself as the new voice of the west coast scene. In it Lamar channels the [...]

A while back, my dude B-Nease, aka the Black Kevin Arnold, put up a Tweet about his mom asking him who Kendrick Lamar was. His reply: “The best rapper in the world.” Not since Ice Cube could the West Coast lay claim to the best rapper on the planet. Nobody was touching Ice Cube when Amerikkka’s Most Wanted and Death Certificate were causing pants-soiling fear across suburban America. Nobody was safe during Ice Cube’s prime: not the police, government, former friends from N.W.A, or the activator section at Walgreen’s. The East Coast, fiercely protective of its [...]

"I don't know what kind of album 'The Chronic' would have been without the riots," - Kurupt While searching for news, I came across a fantastic article out of the Los Angeles Times by Ernest Hardy and August Brown about the LA riots and their relationship with West Coast rap. It only seems appropriate to

L'argomento è sempre di moda, come le mezze stagioni o gli straordinari non pagati. Alcuni filosofi pensano sia l'alfa e l'omega di ogni discorso, che tanto alla fine sempre lì si va a parare. L'unico modo di dare ancora più importanza ad un tema già di per se capitale è quello di cercare di risolverlo nella più goffa delle maniere. La novità è che oggi resuscitare sembra facile tanto quanto morire. Attori ricostruiti grazie alla computer graphics, ristampe e recuperi di musicisti scomparsi da tempo, motori semantici automatici che promettono di scrivere in maniera indistinguibile dall'autore venuto a mancare.

El día de ayer terminó el segundo fin de semana de Coachella 2012 , donde sin duda, una de las mayores atracciones fue el holograma del difunto Tupac Shakur dentro de la presentación de Dr. Dre y Snoop Dogg.

A few minutes before his performance last night at Coachella last night, Dr. Dre took the time to record a video discussing the Tupac hologram that's had everyone talking for the past week. He thanks the companies that helped him put the spectacle together before dismissing the rumors that the Tupac hologram is coming with Dre on a full tour. It wasn't the most convincing denial, however, as his reasoning behind Pac not coming to an arena to you was that there is no Dr. Dre tour booked at the moment. Chalk it up as a definite maybe. [...]

After a week of fascination and speculation over the Coachella performance by the virtual Tupac Shakur during Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg 's set last Sunday, the good doc has finally chimed in on the rumors of the late "California Love" MC's supposed tour. And, basically, there isn't going to be a Tupac tour — or at least there's not one in the [...]

Coachella 's experiment in cloning itself seems to have worked. As we headed down the home stretch on the third and final day of the California music festival's second consecutive weekend (which featured the same lineup as the weekend prior), it was clear that there were more than enough fans to support multiple installments of the festival. It was next to impossible to get close up to see The Weeknd 's soulful, seductive afternoon set. So many fans showed up for Gotye that hundreds were left outside [...]
