2 CHAINZ Performs His “Birthday Song” At COACHELLA 2013!! (VIDEO)
2 Chainz was once thought to be a house of cards — a forgotten rapper who stumbled into a sudden flurry of high-profile guest verses. But Saturday’s set was a double-cup of stardom, guzzled down in less than half an hour. People love this man, drawn as they are drawn to his unattainable cool cut-through with everyman swagger. They love his lines, even the really goofy ones — we all yelled “She got a big booty, so I call her Big Booty,” and 2 Chainz knew we would do so long before we ever did. At one point, he held a moment of silence for the stage. We all bowed our heads. JORDAN SARGENT @ Spin
