Kendrick Lamar, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis “Featured” On 2013 Yahoo! “On The Road” Tour. They are featured on the Yahoo tour. The tour is more than 3 dates. Those are the dates that Hip Hop artist are performing at.
Just great. A tour consisting of a drunk, a guy named John whose far from a legend, and an overhyped MC who is overexposing him. No wonder hip hop is dead.
can you be more ignorant? all are respectable artists in their own form.
macklemore is not a drunk he went to rehab you bitch ass
p.s. you need to go to rehab and get over your hate addiction
No. Hip-hop is not dead and these guys aren’t killing it; it’s because of shitty pop-rap artists and studio gangster rappers. Macklemore’s not a drunk, John Legend is a great artist, and Kendrick deserves the suucess he got. Stop being a hater.
It’s better than a rapping gremlin, an overhyped Canadian, and a former C.O.
That overhyped Canadian’s last album sold 2 million.
because hes overhyped! just like mc hammer was
Doesn’t mean he’s good.
How is John Legend a great artist? He’s more played out than Alicia Keyes.
Someone doesn’t have respect for great R&B music.
John Legend’s great R&B music??? Maybe on your wet dreams, but not here.
we to swaggy mayne
How is 3 concerts a tour?
corporate cash tour shit
No respect? Brian Mcknight. R. Kelly. Joe. Gerald Levert. I just never got John Legend’s appeal.
MC Hammer was a cartoon. Drake is doing all this the old fashioned way. With talent.
