It’s not a secret that the red-hot trio are not the most animated live performers but something in the Mapfre Stadium air prompted a changeup in m.o. Such energy allowed for Migos to match the anticipation their name brings to the culture these days. Jaden Smith continued to defy nepotism digs by livening up to his generally spaced out demeanor, including an especially animated performance his nu-classic jam, “Icon.” (I think he was wearing a bomb vest.) It’s almost like seeing a music video.”Īnd there were mini music videos to be witnessed during the festival’s final stretch following a lengthy weather delay. Now you are actually witnessing … I don’t know. “So those lines that are hot to me or to whomever on the MP3, the actual performance, it translates even more. I don’t know.”Įrick Arc Elliott made note of MCing specifics in live arenas saying, “I feel like because we are performers who actually rap, which is not as common as you would think, I think that if people didn’t get maybe a punchline or something about the delivery on the record, I feel like even our performance live is even more convincing. It’s not really performing, just jumping. Then they actually perform it, they just play the fucking song in the background. They just compose records the other way, which I guess would be how good they sound in the fucking headphones or whatever. “I think a lot of people forget to think of that. Most of the time when we’re recording the songs, we think about how they would be live and performing them,” Zombie Juice told DX. Such determination to give the fans a spectacle appeared to be constant among performers, including Flatbush Zombies who spoke with HipHopDX ahead of their blistering set on Day 2.
And even the mentality diverse Shorline Mafia ensured their equally Cali vibes translated into something memorable for ticketholders.Īlthough the final day of the event did see rain and thunderstorms threaten to kill the vibes, the last remnants of Summer 2018 would prevail in the end, allowing for lights out performances from the closing acts. Yung Pinch brought “Piña Colada” to the party, allowing Midwesterners inside the mind of a beach boy. I witnessed a CD-quality sounding G4SHI immediately attract new fans with a performance that left him drenched in sweat, hoarse and a triumphant performer in onlooker’s eyes.
On the opening night, Khalid’s smoothed-out vocals rounded out some of the more aggressive dives, paving the way for the bang-out rest of the schedule. Since debuting in 2013, the Prime Social Group product has expanded its reach across North America into Michigan, Nashville and Charlotte.Ģ018 was no different as the gaudy three-night lineup of the Columbus leg consisted of heavy hitters such as Migos, Jaden Smith, Khalid, Rich The Kid and a smattering of boss EDM acts. It is why events with tenure and history - such as Columbus, Ohio’s very own Breakaway Fest - has seemingly mastered the art of a seamless festival. In today’s crowded festival market (especially since there are enough rappers to go around thrice over), it can be tough to figure where to turn for your outdoor entertainment.
