Apparently Yasiin Bey showed up 1.5 hours late to show in London, told the fans "you've got other options"

[CP3.]

Dude has been coming across as an entitled, stuck up piece of shyt for years now and it's sad cause I fukked with him heavy back in the day. Black on Both Sides is still one of my fav albums.

A cac I work with said he went to a show of his - and he got there super late like +1 hour late, and got on stage and started lecturing them, then walked around the stage for like 10 minutes just naming random African countries

lol he for sure did that at the show that I mentioned earlier.

"Netherlands Netherlands, I see some black folk too"
(somebody shouts Surinam..which is in South America for those who don't know and also what my roots are)
"riight riight black people everywhere man" and then he started naming African countries

I feel like dudes like him are better when they feel they can fly under the radar.

Once he got that spotlight, he got mad weird.

And in '98-'99, you couldn't tell me Mos wasn't about to go on a legendary run. I thought this dude was gonna be GOAT-level.

He had it in him

mostthese rappers are jerks. "conscious", "street", whatever. most of them are terrible to work with directly. but conscious rappers get shytted on the most cuz they not supposed to be jerks. FUKK al them dudes

Redman Masta Ace and Big Daddy Kane I have seen perform multiple times and they have all shown excellent professionalism

DJ premier too

and as a result had some of the best performances

Is the issue the lateness or the show? Coming from someone whose seen countless dmx/wu shows that hour and a half doesn’t phase me even a little bit, should be expected

 

[L $ C]

like he said, drake is target music...meaning at least its open and you can get what you need even if not always top quality

Then I remembered his conscious ass impregnated a stripper from Toronto and I was like fukk this dude.

From my sources the main show started off underwhelmingly,they brought common out and 2nd half was strong! Only brit cacs were angry because they were scared the subway will close..

 

[Patrick Kane]

Lazy bum. Cant stand that type of entitlement from artists who act like they don’t need the money from their fans. Glad he won’t he be getting a penny from me

One time I was at an outdoor festival talking to my friend.

I look down and Most Def is on stage!

I hadn't noticed. So I was like he's legit - let me pay attention!

He was pacing back and forth, talking. It came off as any random person on stage. In daylight too.

His voice didn't sound like it did on record.

I kept trying to see the good.

Then I remembered his conscious ass impregnated a stripper from Toronto and I was like fukk this dude.

For years I thought it was the worst performance I've ever seen.

I loved Definition and his early work.

But remember that video where he stuck tubes down his throat to protest war torture?

To voluntarily hurt yourself to me is hella bad. Ain't no self love.

Good luck Most Def.

Now I remember why this experience was even funnier.

I now remember my boy set his answering machine to it -

Literally recorded like "yo, listen to how shyt Mos Def is.....extends his hand out to the stage far off....please leave a message" *click*

Yeah, that’s that broad Alana Wyatt (she was in the Drop It Like It’s Hot” video)

She was with Saukrates at one point too

Not gonna lie. She was badder than a 2 year old back then though. At least she wasn't ugly.

 

[TheDarceKnight]

So pretentious and out of touch. What a diva

 

[The Guru]

Should have a child with Lauren Hill. When they grow up they'd be the latest artist of all time.
