Thursday: Lil Boosie and Young Buck, Molten Lava, Big John Miller and more
Lil Boosie "Zoom"
Two absolute beasts in Southern rap, Lil Boosie and Young Buck, come to the Statehouse Convention center tonight. No one typically comes out for big-name rap acts — I saw Pimp C a couple years back in the convention center with like 150 other folks — but Boosie, who Pimp co-signed five or six years ago and who, somehow, manages to sound 12 and really menacing at once, might be enough of a force here to pack em in. Young Buck, from Nashville, is one of the South's finest, but his cred might've been damaged in recent months after his relationship with G-Unit dissolved and 50 Cent leaked a taped phone call of Buck crying. Which, you know, IS NOT gangsta. Whatever, Cashville forever. 7 p.m., $22.
