I know ILoveMakonnen is the hot shit in all the right hip-hop circles right now, but his show wasn’t really my thing. But that’s because I don’t like this new generation of singsongy hip-hop. Spit the rhymes and I’m in. Makonnen had energy for days but has a ways to go to refine his stage presence. But that’ll come. Right now his show is mostly him taking phones from people in the audience and taking selfies with them. #Millennials
