What year did Homegrown jump the shark?

Seemed like a lot of the usual heavy hitters dropped out this year.  Sad to see real talents like Silk Sheiks sitting out too.  But I wish HGMF would take a cue from MWMF by gathering acts from around the region as well as local. This would probably help to remedy HG's inbred aspect/ be one way to seriously up its game.  But even in the case of MWMF,  this year's roster was dumbed down with the usual sally-wash that saturates today's music.   For me anyway, you've got water entering the hull when your headliner ends with Messersmith or Koza.
