Should've been here for 2011. Just saw him last night at a 500-capacity club and it was the best hip-hop show I've ever been to. He is amazingly energetic, entertaining, and charismatic, and his new mixtape is the best hip-hop album I've heard so far this year. He would absolutely destroy a late night tent at Bonnaroo. But, who knows, with how good his mixtape is, he might be big enough to grace The Which by next year.
Mostly, I just wanted to make this thread so everyone (or at least AWATD and I) can talk about how fucking awesome this rising hip-hop star is. I got so fully converted at that show last night.

You are 100% right, Juggs, Bonnaroo is always a step behind on the rising stars (see: OFWGKTA along with K.R.I.T., Curren$y, Big Sean, etc. this year).
It's not necessarily a bad thing, just, like you said, they wait until they're more established; that's why Wiz Khalifa is playing this year, he already has a massive single and a few other big ones.
Sometimes you like to catch rising artists right at the time when they're blowing up, but you just have to accept that that probably won't happen at Bonnaroo because it's not their M.O. and take advantage of other opportunities to do that outside of Bonnaroo. I'm seeing Curren$y in a couple months at Cat's Cradle, the same place I saw Gibbs & KRIT last night.

Oh, and BTW, that show last night was with Freddie Gibbs and he was amazing, too. Just an unbelievably good pure rapper. He lead the crowd in chants of "Fuck Police" throughout the show, which I, with my admitted tendency towards anti-authoritarianism, gladly participated in.

Nice to see you, too, Jess
We CAN talk about music on a music festival forum, right?
I realize KRIT isn't there this year, I mostly just wanted to talk about how much I love this artist with other people who love this artist on this forum that, while technically about Bonnaroo, is more about music in general. Is that cool?

That is why there is a section in the other forum explicitly for talking about bands that are not playing Bonnaroo. I realize that you think this band is SOOOO important that it requires being placed in a more trafficked area that other people use to discuss the bands we will actually be seeing in June. However it just clutters shit up and makes it hard to use this one for its intended purpose. I am glad you found a new band you like but there is still no reason to have to discuss them in here.
I really bring out the worst in you, don't I, Jess?
See you in June, friend-o.
Worst? he's seems to me like he's calmly making a reasonable request based on the rules of the forum.
For some reason he has a huge chip on his shoulder and thinks I hate him. Personally I could give a damn, hate is strong word. I sure would not want him marrying my daughter or anything though.
Also Karosko it is a lot easier to keep this forum readable without people who know better breaking the rules so they can call attention to themselves and whatever music it is they want to discuss. I mean it is bad enough when the noobs do it, but it is really frustrating when people who have been here almost a year have no respect for the board or the system we have here of doing things.
Nah. The word you're thinking of is "trolling." He's trolling.
The point is, this isn't just some random artist; I think there are enough KRIT fans on the board that warrant this admittedly premature thread.
No if I was trolling I Would make fun of you until you go cry to a moderator about me being a bully. There is a difference, this is just me asking you not to be a dickwad and start irrelevant threads in the wrong section of the board so you can be an attention whore.

You don't have the power to hurt my feelings, Jess, I'm sorry. So, if you think you made fun of me and I cried to a moderator, you're way off base. You were belittling somebody else when I reported you.
Also, you need to calm the fuck down. For real. I was trying to be easy with you; Honestly, I'm just so ready to put whatever beef you perceive to be between us to rest. I don't have a chip on my shoulder and I don't think you hate me; to tell the truth, I still don't really understand why you dislike me, but it's all good.
Also, this thread was not meant to call attention to itself. I just wanted to talk about Big K.R.I.T. I'm fine with it being moved. Honestly, I just put it here because I clicked on the forum the OFWGKTA thread was in and posted. I didn't think that much about it.

When did I say I belittled you and made you cry? I said that is what I would do if I were in your words "trolling".

Once again you are putting words in my mouth here. All I said is that when it comes to me you have a chip on your shoulder. See your response to my original post in this thread as some of the evidence.

Bullshit, you know exactly how this board works. You have been here a year and have 2500 posts. I seriously doubt that you are confused as to where to put a new thread for a non Bonnaroo artist. If so you need to go to inforoo remedial school or something.
Could I have been a little nicer in my original post, sure? However it is not like I called you names or anything else to make you completely meltdown like you did. Take a deep breath relax and try and knock that chip off your shoulder dude.

Haha...again, I most certainly do not have a chip on my shoulder. And I most certainly did not meltdown. I'm actually being pretty calm, for real.
I wasn't saying I was confused, my point was that if the Odd Future thread is where it is, why shouldn't this be allowed there as well? Odd Future aren't playing Bonnaroo, are they? Anyway, it's moved, so this is a moot point now. I'd like to talk about Big K.R.I.T. now. He's awesome.

f no
I'll drive the roids str8 to his house. He's being protected against lefties which if you look at his splits should probably have happened a while ago.
