Busta goes on tirade at Essence about the audience being on their phones and not standing up, still got fruity pants and fat

Part of a good concert experience is also about the vibe from the crowd. The performer feeds off that energy and makes for a better show too. If the crowd is dead and just recording and watching through their phone, that can put a damper on the vivid of the show.

This is why I used to be in the Mosh area at shows. I'm too old to fight thru the crowd to the front for a good show. I still enjoy myself

His soul burning and I love it.

Out there sounding like a Jamaican teacher reprimanding Charlie Brown in class.

There used to be a unified energy to concerts when everyone was engaged. That energy is the only reason I personally enjoyed shows. Other than that might as well watch music videos or just listen. As well as it’s annoying looking over and through a whole crowd of raised arms and screens. Ironically live posting on here during certain events has become fun to me now.

I could say this extends to a lot of things in society post smart phones to be honest. The club and socializing in general. I'm just glad I got to experience a time before phones got smarter while people got dumber

Dude was just slim as hell. That can’t be healthy gaining and losing that much weight back and forth…

Busta has a dumb attitude and snaps like a bytch in an instant. He's pretty diva ish and between that and his touchy feely ways he really comes off gay

 

[Doobie Doo]

Couple things......


Busta Rhymes never performed in New Orleans before? That seems very odd.

I don't believe that. Busta been famous for over 30 years and toured the world. His big neck azz ain't never been to the food capital of the country?

2nd, essence festival crowd is older. I don't buy tickets to any concert where I don't have an assigned seat. I want a seat and I expect to use said seat.

3rd, I agree on the phones. Why pay all that money to see someone perform, only to watch them through your phone.

He was here, not just at the Essence.
I think him and Mystikal did HOB back in 98

 

[Sleepy Floyd]

Cell phones really killed the concert experience for me. Typically just a bunch of people standing there with phones up recording and not actually experiencing what’s happening. I’ve been to 100s of shows in my life and witness the decline over time. If I feel that way, I can only imagine what some of these artist feel while performing now.

You lying if you say you not pulling your phone out here

 

[RedBull]

He said his people created Hip Hop, so go to Jamaica and perform at Sun Splash or Sting.

 

[CodeKansas]

Wrong thread.

 

[Still Benefited]

Sounds like yall just dont know what a true emcee is


He literally controlled the crowed,changed the mood and the energy in that room. Simply by reminding people they were at a performance
