damn shame the creators ran a great festival into the ground

How are rap artists on the bill for any festival?

I agree that rap is generally terrible live but there are some guys who put on a really good show. Snoop, Outkast, Mystikal come to mind.

edit: plus it doesn't really matter if they are good or not. If they're a well known group, having them there will help sell tickets.

Snoop and Mystikal are absolutely terrible live. Outkast was fantastic though. I do agree with the OP though. They ran a once great festival into the ground with their extensive amount of below average rappers and DJs.

BULLLLL shite!

I've seen Snoop like 3 or 4 times. Each show was great.

The Mystikal show I saw was the best rap concert I've seen. He performed with "Hot Sausage" a live brass band. They played his songs and he rapped over them. It's incredible to hear him live. He raps so fast yet perfectly annunciates each syllable.

I drove down from Mobile yesterday, walked right in like I owned the place, and saw Chance the Rapper for free.

It was badass. Kendrick Lamar (despite being late) put on a helluva show a couple years back too

Haven't been since 2013, Stevie Wonder, Tom Petty and a good under card made for a good time on the beach.

I look at the lineup every year to try and convince myself to go, it would only take a mediocre lineup cause the beach and the scenery are top notch, but they can't even pull off a mediocre lineup anymore.

It's not something I would listen to on my own time, but seeing him live was insane.
