Coachella weekend 1 just ended, and from what was shared it looks (Speechless)
Shid makes me feel there....Anyways I felt all inquisitive this morning and wanted a full history of the fest, so I went 15 Years in the past to read up on it, and every lineup it's had since. I'm mostly a hiphop fan so that's what I was mostly scanning for. Unfortunately there were really no hiphop acts involved and the only acts I recognize is Rage Against The Machine, Tool, and Moby. In 2000 they took a hiatus, and when it came back in 2001 more hip-hop acts were added like
Mos Def & The Roots. That would've been a dope show to attend, if I could. Throughout the years hiphop has been incorporated more & more and now you can see visuals like this....
By the end of my research I discovered that Coachella's actually been around for 15 years now, with hip hop acts in a little bit more than half of them. Of that list here's the ones that I'd sacrifice time to go back and see...
2006 showcased an array of artists i'm fond of such as Gnarles Barkley, Kanye West, James Blunt, and Madonna
2010 also peaked my interest that being the year they added the LCD sound system and Jay Z & Gorillaz played
Here's the link to Coachella's History, in case you wanted to check it out yourself, see what you missed.....
