5 Biggest Moments From SXSW Saturday

If you're anything like us, you're probably mentally and physically exhausted from all this SXSW business. And it's been a hell of a ride along the way, nonstop music and a ridiculous overflow of information. But that doesn't mean we've slowed down—four days in to the madness, XXL still keeps holding things down. Here are the five biggest moments that we witnessed yesterday, March 15. We made it.

A$AP Mob

The Mob crushed things again yesterday afternoon, this time without the help of Rocky or Ferg. Instead, Ant, Twelvy and Nast all contributed to the high-energy performance, which included new cuts off the group's upcoming crew album L.O.R.D. The Mob always brings a dope show.

Lil B

It was hard to know what to expect with Lil B, because I had personally never seen him live, but just the fact that the crowd launched into two separate "Fuck KD" chants—in reference to his feud with Oklahoma City Thunder basketball player Kevin Durant—was testament to the hold he has on his die-hard fans. Then, halfway through the show, I remembered that Durant won Player Of The Year at the University of Texas IN AUSTIN his only year as a college ball player, and I was even more impressed. B had the fans crowd surfing, chanting his name, and giving thanks to the Based God for a hell of a long time, too.

Travi$ Scott

Scott benefited from what was essentially a hometown show for him—he's from Houston originally—and the sheer amount of people in the crowd going crazy was impressive no matter where he was from. He performed tracks off Owl Pharoah and Cruel Summer while holding things down for the largely Texas-based crowd.

Rick Ross

Ross' show was billed as Rick Ross and Special Guests, so the crowd was geared up for an appearance by Big Sean, Kanye, French Montana, Diddy, or even Lil Boosie, as the rumor mill went flying. Ultimately none of them showed up—just the newest MMG members Tracy T and Fat Trel—though this one might not have been all on Ross. The set was pushed back nearly two hours as the Fader Fort slid in performances by Erykah Badu—who was resplendent—and Bun B, who crushed a short set as usual. Ross opened with "Devil Is A Lie" and rolled through "Hustlin'," "BMF," and "Nobody" in a set that last almost an hour, pushing late into the night (but not that late; we'll get to that). The highlight had to be "Sanctified," which is quickly becoming the best song of the year. Mastermind is the number one record in the country for a reason, after all.

Lil Wayne And YMCMB

The Illmore was the place to be all week for the best after parties at SXSW, and there was little secret that Lil Wayne would be the highlight of their YMCMB takeover late Saturday night. Vic Mensa performed, DJ Drama and Mannie Fresh crushed it behind the boards, and Wayne, Birdman, Gudda Gudda and the newest member of the family, Young Thug, all hit the stage some time between 4:30 and 6 a.m. Honestly, a lot of things became a blur at that point, but the thing that stuck out the most was how Young Thug took center stage. Watching Birdman and Wayne rap along to "Stoner" is definitely one of the highlights of the festival
