Coachella 2015: Lil B, the joke’s on us

Who: Lil B on the Outdoor stage.
In 3 or Fewer Words: This a joke?
Not Memorable Because: It’s hard to believe Lil B is actually a returning performer at Coachella. It’s actually infuriating to know that people’s weekend passes contributed to Goldenvoice’s funds to pay this guy to come out on stage in a blue and gold peasant top, refer to himself in the third person and as “legendary,” rap over his profane raps on pre-recorded tracks, then sing out of key into the mic (showing that he could supposedly “do it all”). If it weren’t for people dancing to his beats, (“Lil B productions you can’t hear nowhere else”), I would have thought someone was playing a joke on me and that the real Lil B would be coming onto stage after this really bad hype man got off stage. Alas, no one else showed up and it became a harsh reality to deal with.
What I’d Tell My Friend Who Was at Ab Soul: You have a “DUNCE” hat for me? Because I feel foolish for not choosing anything over the cringe-worthy nonsense that is Lil B.
