My Mixtapez and Jordan Brand linked up for a special art activation at SXSW over the weekend, taking place at the My Mixtapez House. The gallery revealed exclusive and rare childhood photos of the legendary Biggie Smalls, commemorating the 20-year anniversary of his passing. The event also featured performances by The LOX and Diddy’s sons, Christian and Justin Combs. Also in attendance were Ma$e, Nick Grant and Gizzle. Biggie’s manager, Wayne Barrow, and Bad Boy president, James Cruz, unveiled the exclusive Notorious B.I.G. x Jordan 13 shoe at the event as well, designed as a collaborative effort by My Mixtapez and Jordan Brand. The shoe will be released to the public on B.I.G.’s birthday, May 21.
(Video) Lil Wayne Calls Out “Bullsh*t Ass Birdman” At Mass Appeal Show
On Friday night, Lil Wayne headlined Mass Appeal’s annual SXSW show, Live At The BBQ. During his set, Tunechi took yet another moment to let everyone know how much he REALLY doesn’t rock with Birdmn. “If you think that I am stressing or letting this shit get to me, please remember, there’s too much good pussy and too many great motherf**kin’ loyal fans to worry about bullshit ass Birdman,” Wayne told the crowd, before launching into “No Worries.” Watch the performance below!
(Video) Cardi B. Dominates With SXSW Performance At Fader Fort
Cardi B. hit the SXSW circuit for the first time this year, and it’s clear that the Bronx native was a breakout artist at the annual showcase! Along with a performance at a showcase put together for artists at her label, Atlantic Records, Cardi also took the stage at the Fader Fort – which is a huge deal! During her set, she performed (among other songs) “Lick,” which is her recently-released collab with her rumored boo, Offset. The crowd’s reaction was wild! Check out a clip of the performance below. I’m rooting for Cardi, man!
(Video) Lil Yachty & His Crew Go In On Unhappy Concert-Goer
Lil Yachty was all over SXSW this year, but apparently, the experiences weren’t all positive. While performing for his label’s showcase on Friday night at the YouTube space, reports state that Yachty was low on energy and even “anti-charisma,” adding that he had trouble staying on beat during the 40-minute set. Perhaps this is why the crowd had a lackluster response to what is arguably Yachty’s biggest track (well, feature), “Broccoli.” “Damn that shit was so crazy,” Yachty said when he finished performing, looking at the dead crowd. “That shit sounded like y’all dreaded that shit.” This prompted an attendee to respond with, “You got no energy, n*gga!” and it escalated quickly from there. Check out what happened from there below.
