This year i was able to make the last day of the Wireless festival and managed to see Example, Q Tip and kanye west. There all put on a really good show, but Q Tip did the same set as he did when he performed at the Roundhouse earlier this year which was disappointing but you can never get enough of the A tribe called Quest classics which went down really well and got the crowd going for the headliner Kanye West.
I am a really big fan of Kanye West and admire his work and how he pushes the boundaries of hip hop. I was disappointed with his display and felt that he didn’t interact with the crowd much and was playing songs which felt like they were going on for hours. kanye needs to realize he is a hip hop artist and should stick with what he is good at, instead of being all arty. Was good to hear Jesus Walks, Diamond Forever and of course Gold Digger!
Over the course of the day there was a number of UK artists performing and was annoyed to find out the promoters had changed chipmunk’s slot time which meant i missed him as he was on earlier than expected.... But to all those Hip Hop fans who say that there is not enough UK talent should check out Example when he comes to your town. From the minute he comes on stage he instantly interacts with the crowd and it had to be the best set of the weekend. The remixes were absolutely incredible, and his new song which is produced by calvin harris gives us a taste of what we might expect from his new album.
Hopefully example will play main stage next year as this performance is a definite move forward for the fulham rapper.
