PHOTOS: Big Boi Through The YearsMusic fans hoping to catch Big Boi‘s set at Outside Lands were left completely disappointed on day one of the music festival. The rapper was scheduled to perform as originally planned despite his arrest in Miami on Sunday on charges of drug possession. Big Boi made it to the festival and was spotted backstage, however, he never actually performed. His performance was nixed because of “technical difficulties.” If Twitter is any indication, the crowd was not pleased with the Southern-bred rapper’s failure to hit the stage.
The rapper was slated to go onstage at 6:20pm. His set time was pushed back to 7pm. Then the “technical” issues started. Big Boi hit the stage but only to announce the problem. He promised fans he would come back onstage to perform once the issues were solved.

No announcement was made to the crowd about the set time being changed to 7pm… lame.

That is kinda weak.. to be there but not give your fans what they came there for.. I guess he had his reasons… maybe too many drug fumes in the audience..for him to stay sober?

The reverse onus of proof in drug-possession cases is incompatible with the rule of law and therefore cannot be recognized by any court anywhere. In other words, it is UNIVERSALLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL. Besides, the economics of the drug trade imply that criminal sanctions are self-defeating unless concentrated on RETAIL SALES. See http://is.gd/oenwod for details.

If you were dumb enough to be at the Big Boi stage when Phish was playing, well you deserve the disappointment you got.
