![]() To my surprise it was nothing like I had envisioned. I was not sure what to expect, not from the i ncendiary Compton rapper who is not afraid to speak his mind, but from the Central Texas, majority white crowd. While, the massive student body migrated to HomeAway stage for The Chainsmokers, the rest of the crowd posted up at the Samsung stage (clearly the best of the two days) to stake out their spot for Kendrick Lamar. The spry, buff, LL clearly has taken care of himself as he’s pushing 50 and his pop-rap anthems “Doin It,” “Loungin (Who Do Ya Luv),” and “Around the Way Girl” still hold up, but his over-exaggerated winking and endless lip-licking came off as more creepy uncle than virile playboy when he handed out long-stem roses during “I Need Love.”ĪlunaGeorge and Melanie Martinez take a vastly different approach to making pop-inflected, girl power anthems, but both provide must-watch shows that appeal to the 16-year-old in all of us. The ageless Queens MC is known more as a B-rate TV actor and host now, but that all his CBS sins were forgiven when he busted out a few bars of his 1990 hit “Mama Said Knock You Out.” The mad mash-up professor schooled the crowd with classics from Biz Markie to the Beastie Boys before calling up the legendary LL Cool J as the keynote rapper. Meanwhile, the old Longhorn alumni were gathered at the Samsung stage for a hip hop history lesson being taught by Z-Trip. The UT (University of Texas) flocked to DJ Mustard’s club heavy anthems like $4 Boilermakers as the LA-producer rattled off hits like Rihanna’s smash “Needed Me,” Drake’s “Pop Style” and Travis Scott’s “Antidote.” The doe-eyed and precocious Dacus, held her guitar to her side like a security blanket before leading her four man band into her hit single “I Don’t Wanna Be Funny Anymore,” a hook-laced statement song about “identity” that many of her passing peers too busy posing for Instagram pics should take as a “mantra.” The Virginia singer/songwriter has been branded with that “old soul” tag, playing a brand of grungy alt-rock tinged with pinch of alt-country twang. Nonetheless, McDonald's previously credited the "Antidote" rapper for boosting business.Ironically, 21-year-old Lucy Dacus is from that party-hearty age group, but is clearly on the outside looking in. Some franchise owners reportedly brought up a similar issue back when Scott kicked off the inaugural campaign. Since their music partnerships launched in 2020, McDonald's has teamed up with artists like Travis Scott, J Balvin, BTS and Saweetie. ![]() We’re proud to share a little piece of that.” “Cardi and Offset are an iconic couple who have their own date-night tradition at McDonald’s that goes back years. “We’re focused on putting McDonald’s at the center of culture,” chief marketing and customer experience officer for the U.S. Still, owners who might be culture-shocked by the partnership are worried about the brand. Since Cardi and Offset's meal hit stores, business has been booming with more younger customers rolling in each day. It also comes with a large fries and an apple pie. Their combo comes with Bardi's favorite, a cheeseburger with BBQ sauce and a large Coke, and a Quarter Pounder with Cheese with a large Hi-C Orange Lavaburst, which is Offset’s go-to order. The Cardi B and Offset meal was announced in a pricy commercial that aired during Super Bowl LVII last month. Although at least 95% of McDonald's stores are owned by franchisees, McDonald's corporate office doesn't see it that way. They're convinced that the violations in their code will hurt the brand. Owners have also emphasize the clause that states “music partnerships associated with content that includes offensive language in the lyrics" are also forbidden.
