DX News Bits: Snoop Dogg, DJ Shadow

    According to Reuters, Snoop Dogg has just been confirmed to perform at the massive Glastonbury Music Festival this year. Snoop will be the biggest rapper to perform at the event after Jay-Z’s controversial appearance in 2008. Festival organizer Michael Eavis called this year’s line-up, “staggering.”

    Snoop will join U2, Stevie Wonder, Muse, and British rapper Dizzee Rascal at this summer’s event. Over 100,000 people are expected to attend the event in England this year, rain or shine. Snoop recently ended a battle with British border authorities to obtain a performer’s permit after he was banned from the U.K. for his involvement in a London airport fight in 2006.

    In other news, DJ Shadow says he is “halfway done” recording his new album. The Bay Area native’s upcoming project is a follow-up to 2006’s The Outsider, which received mixed reviews. He says the latest album is a return to his old work.

    “I’m about halfway done and I will be sharing music in the next few months,” he told Zanelow.com. “With this record, I really want to make music I’m at peace with. If I say it’s a slight return, I only mean in the sense that I had a thread going with some of the records I was doing, so let’s get back to that and see where that thread would be.”

    The album has not been titled yet, nor has Shadow announced a release date.

      1. I applaud your comment, sir. You wish for a return to his ’90s style, which is fine. I prefer it myself, I admit. You do not sound like one of those overzealous, self-righteous underground heads I was referring to earlier, and I totally respect that.

    1. Shadow is a legend. I admit his last album surprised me, but by no means, was it bad. I thought it was cool that he was working with some “a little more mainstream” Bay artists. They were screaming out that he was a sellout; I saw it as him flexing his versatility. All the underground heads were acting like little girls crying how different it was. Seeing all that hate spewing from their mouths made me f’n sick. Another reason I can’t stand underground heads and their overzealous self-righteousness of making “good” music.

    2. Now i need a favor for the C.C. aka the Conglomerate Circle, I need them 2 buy Cumulus Media and sit on it.

    3. Fukn love dj shadow betr be sme true entroducing shit !!! Dj shadow one of the best of all time no doubt word up !!

    4. People are always saying “i hope DJ Shadow goes back to his 90s style.”, and not even about just shadow either. Believe me, 90s>everything but when it comes down to it you have to recognize what sounds good.

      Who cares if someone isnt on their 90s steelo anymore? If they were and changed, people would call “sellout.” If they were and they never changed, people would call whack. People are mad finnicky…
