Desiigner's "Panda" is currently the No. 2 song in the country. It's a song that took him a year and a half to make, and one that he's proud of. When performing his breakout hit, the 19-year-old can be seen sweating, screaming, dabbing maniacally, and, as of last weekend, puking. Inspired by Desiigner's incredible boot 'n rally (see below), we wanted to round up a list of some particularly shocking moments of on-stage behavior. Physical altercations are sometimes par for the course at hip-hop shows -- we made an entire list dedicated to the times Action Bronson has wrecked unruly stage-rushing fans -- but these moments are of a more unpredictable variety, ranging from the bizarre to the obscene. For your own safety, we decided not to include the time Stitches hosted a twerk-off that quickly devolved into a booty eating contest.
Just over a year ago, Kim took her husband back to Armenia, the land of her Kardashian ancestors, and Kanye decided to host a surprise concert in the capital city of Yerevan. A massive crowd flocked to the city center for the impromptu show, which was situated around the famous Swan Lake. During a particularly inspired rendition of "Good Life," Kanye suddenly broke into a sprint and proceeded to plunge into the shallow water, first taking a tumble and then getting back up to finish the song. As he began to inch toward the center of the lake, fans began to follow Kanye's lead and surrounded him from all sides. The concert was quickly shut down, though not before Kanye was officially christened by the Armenian populace.
Danny Brown Doesn't Miss a Bar Amid Surprise Blowjob
Danny Brown's rapping style often consists of insane streams of unconscious ratchetness. His shows are about as outta control as they come in hip-hop, and he often ventures into the crowd with little abandon. During a 2013 show in Minneapolis, Danny found his waist dangerously close to the head of a female fan, and no one was more aware of this opportune positioning than the fan herself, who proceeded to unzip the rapper's pants and locate his package with her mouth. Despite the intense distraction, Danny kept on rapping at his typical blistering speed.
After word of the incident got out, Kendrick Lamar tweeted at his friend and collaborator in amazement, asking him, "u really just got the head on stage stanny?" -- to which Danny responded: "and didn't miss a bar bruh bruh." Though the quality of the footage is reflective of the chaos of the show, once you spot the overly dedicated fan, it's obvious what's going on. Considering her effort, it's amazing that Danny was able to scamper off upon finishing the song. (NSFW)
Chris Brown Makes Out With Fan's Knee
Chris Brown is a creature of the flesh, as his music is often driven by lust. His lack of sexual inhibition often draws masses of females to his concerts, who only dream of being invited on stage to experience some one-on-one intimacy with the R&B Lothario. Back in 2011, during a show in Detroit, one woman got even more than she bargained for as Brown brought her up on stage during a heated rendition of "Take You Down."
First, Brown begins acting out the lyrics of "Take You Down," humping the stage with ultimate pelvic propulsion, and he then removes his shirt and inches toward the fan who's positioned as if she's ready for whatever comes next. (He does all this, mind you, while his hype man removes his own shirt and proceeds to personify the very definition of "sus"). Brown then goes in for the kiss and gets dangerously close before backing away. Though he withheld the mouth-to-mouth, he saved some tongue action for the girl's knee. And though the knee was an unexpected target, the fan looked like she could've handled plenty more where that came from.
Yeezus Meets Jesus in Seattle
Yeezus ain't quite Jesus, as evidenced by his inability to walk on water in Armenia. In late 2013, though, during the opening show of Kanye's "Yeezus" tour in Seattle, he brought out a Jesus impersonator and asked, "White Jesus, is that you?" Kanye himself was dressed in a less modest getup, donning a floor-length velvet robe and a pair of red Air Yeezys, with a mask of mesh armor covering his face. "I told you I've been here the whole time," said White Jesus, prompting Yeezus to remove his mask.
They proceed to have a conversation, as Jesus tells a bewildered Kanye, "I didn't come here to make bad people feel good. I came here to make dead people feel alive," before exiting the stage to the opening vocal chant of "Jesus Walks." It's among the strangest of Kanye's on-stage moments, though those in attendance likely underwent some kind of spiritual transformation.
Slim Jesus Gets Mic Snatched by Black Jesus
Slim Jesus doesn't quite equal up to the stature of the other rappers on this list, though funnily enough, he's not the first Jesus to partake in an outrageous on-stage happening. And he's not the last, either. During a show in Ottawa last year, Slim Jesus was in the middle of performing his viral hit, "Drill Time," when a rapper purportedly named Black Jesus came up behind him and snatched the mic right out of his hands. After shoving him away, Black Jesus raised up the mic and looked into the eyes of his more slender counterpart and said, "Support real hip-hop, bitch."
Black Jesus then dropped the mic and then walked away without any contest from the Ohio teenager. Slim was able to recover the mic, but the same can't be said about his career.
