RANDOM PICS: CELEBS HIT UP SXSW DOWN IN TEXAS

March 22nd, 2009
( Kanye West performing during SXSW in Austin, Texas on Saturday night. )

Looks like South by Southwest (SXSW) was the hot spot this weekend! The popular festival is held every year and features concerts/performances from up & coming talent as well as popular entertainers. It officially kicked off on March 13th.

I’m kind of mad I decided not to go, because from what I heard all the concerts were on and poppin’. Here are some random shots from this weekend featuring performance photos from Kanye West, Solange Knowles, Janelle Monae, Kid Cudi, Common, Big Sean and more.

    Cool looked fun. I wonder what song Fonzworth was singing. I like Kanye’s jean jacket vest. I had one with Mickey Mouse back in the fourth grade.

    Alot of dopeness in this post! Solange..I had to side eye those banana pants but I admire that she’s bold. I must agree w/someone else though. Im so sick of ppl throwing up the peace sign in pictures it’s ridiculous! But everybody looks great, especially Cudi! ;-)

    Solange looks like a hippie reject. Someone should tell her not to wear headbands. It only emphasizes her abnormally long face.
