Exclusive: Lollapalooza Lineup Leaks

The official Lollapalooza site says the lineup won't hit the wires until tomorrow...but an ad for the festival published in a local Wisconsin paper found its way to our desks. Technically the weekly doesn't come out until tomorrow but it's available in some places early, as in on Wednesdays, as in today. So, as you can see, the bold names appearing at the resurged Lollapalooza festival on August 3-5th include Pearl Jam, My Morning Jacket, Snow Patrol, the Stooges, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Modest Mouse, TV on The Radio, LCD Soundsystem, Interpol, Patti Smith, Regina Spektor, Lupe Fiasco, Amy Winehouse, the Hold Steady, and many more. Let the feasting on organic vegan burritos while rocking out begin.

“My President”

Young Jeezy | 2008

Young Jeezy teams up with Nas on this track, in which he compare his own success with the idea of an African-American winning the Democratic Party's nomination in the 2008 presidential election. "When I pulled up in my car, that s--- was unbelievable to people in my neighborhood because they were like, 'We grew up with him. How the hell did he accomplish this?'" he told Rolling Stone. "I feel like it was the same way with Obama. I grew up all this time, but I've never seen a black man this close to running this country."
