Joker's Top 10 Most Annoying Things About Hip-Hop Concerts and Who Did It
Taking two hours between the opening and main act. (WTC)
Saying the wrong city. (Outkast)
Being backstage and not coming out because one of your members is sick and then having the opening act do the whole show(Digable Planets/Spearhead)
Not showing up because you are crazy and in rehab. (ODB)
Having a horrible opening act (Take your pick)
Not having your lineup in the right order according to talent (Outkast)
Having 36 hypemen with white t-shirts, water bottles, and unnecessary mics. (WTC)
Fearing for your life because of the crowd (Red/Meth but pretty much any show)
Not living up to expectations and not moving a crowd properly (De La Soul/Spitkicker Tour, other than the Biz)
Crowds who are too stupid to show respect for an opening act who obviously inluenced the main act and that's why they picked them to open for them and then throw objects at one of the best dj's in hip-hop history. (Gangstarr/Rage Against the Machine)
