Whether it's your first Bonnaroo or you’re a music festival veteran, we welcome you to Inforoo.
Here you'll find info about artists, rumors, camping tips, and the infamous Roo Clues. Have a look around then create an account and join in the fun. See you at Bonnaroo!!
Finally back to the regular internet connection. For a few days, at least.
My experiences with Kanye included a bunch of early stuff (nothing later than Gold Digger on Early Registration) and Yeezus. Since it's looking like he'll be at the Roo this year I decided to check out some of the rest of his catalog.
Early impressions... Why the hell have I not listened to MBDTF before... Dark Fantasy thru Monter is fucking amazing. Listening to the second half now. Should I do graduation or 808s next?
I am definitely biased toward Mr. West. Here's hoping that Insider is legit with her info. If not, then at least I've exposed myself to this great music. I win either way.
Thought I should follow up. Didn't really like 808s. So my top five looks like this, while keeping in mind that I've only just listened to more than half of these. I'll mark the first listens with an asterisk, since I'm sure to have more of a legitimate opinion after a few more playthroughs.
1. My Dark Beautiful Twisted Fantasy* 2. Yeezus 3. Graduation* 4. Early Registration 5. 808s and Heartbreak*
I might actually try and get in the pit for this one, assuming he's actually at Bonnaroo. Please be true, Insider...
Extra Edit Thought: This is my 300th post. This might not seem like much to some of you, but it's a milestone for me!

I was thinking that if he did come back I might be able to get into the pit fairly easy but after seeing a lot of people's comments on here I don't think that'll be the case. Looks like if he's there I'll have a tough decision to make.
Hey guys - This is Alex from Consequence of Sound. I'm looking for a couple people to help me out on an article about Kanye's possible return to Bonnaroo. I need longtime attendees, one person who loves the idea of him coming back, another who hates the idea. If interested, PM me.

I think that Bonnaroo detective guy already wrote the negative portion of your article for you.

Will the person who writes the pro-Kanye side get to just write a complete takedown of the anti-Kanye nonsense? If so, please, please, please pick me.

I will never understand the amount of discussion Kanye gets on this board. He's such an obviously good artist. Very enjoyable. Great producer and beat-maker. Nowhere near a great rapper. Who cares about him as a person. Jesus. I thought I was a big fan until I read some of the ridiculous shit the fluffers post here. Some people get too involved on both sides.

I'd be interested to see what you mean by this exactly.
Hey, so far I've only gotten pro-Kanye people. Someone here has to not the like the guy. Anyone?
Personally I'm not a fan. His music does not appeal to everyone, and his toxic persona turn a lot of people off. There's disappointment amongst people who don't want him at Bonnaroo. Some cite the catastrophe his 2088 set was as a reason why they don't want him back. Most non-fans find disappointment in the fact that if they book kanye, it's a wasted headliner spot to us. Most non-fans will simply skip his show and do other things during its time, such as get a good spot for a late night show, eat, sleep, or relax at the Miller Lite Lounge, which has shows during the headliners.

I said SOME, not everyone. That comes up as a reason amongst SOME people, I'm trying to give this person the other side of the story.
When Kanye turned his YeezusDestroyer3.0's laser vision on the crowd, I knew that I had made the wrong choice in waiting for his set. I believed he had come to perform in the name of Lunar-Earth peace, but I let my love for his music shroud my judgement. Not only had he shown his violent tendencies when he was briefly President of New North America, but his recent destruction of the InterSOLAR Peace Convoy because, "The only peace can be made through YEEZUS", should have betrayed his true intentions.
I'll never forget that day, the performance of 2088. We lost many humans and their protohuman counterparts. "Jesus Walks" was a pretty legit way to close the set, though.

I don't have it in me to seek and quote right now. Say something about him right now so I don't have to.
Re-reading this thread, i just cannot wait till this place blows the f*ck up on Feb 19th.
After reading this thread, and other comments online, I suspect that Kanye West will likely have a full house if he shows up.
Half to cheer him, and half to boo him.
Being the case, it makes me feel even better about my decision not to see this if he is indeed a headliner, if not only for safety reasons. 50000 or more drunk people, either loving or hating the same thing, in tight quarters, watching that thing has severely terrible possibilities.

I doubt half of the crowd will boo him. The 50 who actually try will look like assholes and stop once they realize how stupid they appear.
