ICE CUBE: On the Made In America lineup announcement

After a weekend leak that found unlikely performers such as D'Angelo on its list, the real true official Made in America Sept. 1-2 weekend bill is out and it's good, very good. Rihanna would make it great. Animal Collective, one of Jay Z's notable faves would make it great. So would Hova's wife, Beyonce.

ICE CUBE: On the Made In America lineup announcement

After a weekend leak that found unlikely performers such as D’Angelo on its list, the real true official Made in America Sept. 1-2 weekend bill is out and it’s good, very good. Rihanna would make it great. Animal Collective, one of Jay Z’s notable faves would make it great. So would Hova’s wife, Beyonce.

None of them will play with co-headliner/host Jay Z. But grunge gods Pearl Jam will. Having the legendarily reclusive soul man D’Angelo play ALONE makes it worth attending.

Same with Drake who is playing in Camden on June 9 and Philly’s Santigold who I interviewed before her recent Troc gig.

Dubstep hairdon’t Skrillex, funky DJ Afrojack, wack hip-hoppers Odd Future, electro-mavens Miike Snow, The Knocks and Passion Pit, punk veterans X (wow, X!), pop electronicist Calvin Harris (who I’ll see tonight at Springle Ball), soul futurist Janelle Monae, indie skronkers Dirty Projectors, UK songstress Rita Ora, Latin lover Prince Royce, and the unholy hip-hop union of Wale, Rick Ross and Meek Mill hit the Parkway, as will The Roots.

Bruce Springsteen and his band are in town that same weekend.

Bet your Made in America dollars (tickets, including a $99 two-day pass option, go on sale Wednesday) that the Boss shows for Eddie V and Jay Z. Expect another Mike Nutter rap whether you want it or not.
