BY: OLIVIA MORGAN
he highly anticipated and controversial appear- ance of hip-hop artist Wiz Khalifa had the Pavilion at Ole Miss bouncing Friday night. Herds of stu- dents wrapped around the basketball arena from theT front entrance and down around the parking garage on Hill Drive almost three hours before doors opened. A’Maya Jones, a theater major from Crystal Springs, was one of the fi rst to sprint across the tarp-covered basketball court at 8 p.m. and claim her spot in the front row. The pit soon was fl ooded with students, cresting past the sound stage and into the stadium seats. “I’ve been a fan as long as I can remember,” Jones said while waiting in the elbow-to-elbow front of the pit. She reminisced on when the rapper’s single “Black and Yel- low” topped the Billboard charts in February 2011, when she was in middle school. “I’ve got my Chuck Taylors on, so he’s got to play that ‘Taylor Gang,’” she said, lifting one of her sneakers to show her loyalty. Chants of “Hotty Toddy” and “We want Wiz” cropped up in the crowd as the students mingled before the lights went down. San Diego-based rapper Rob Stone took the stage fi rst, hyping up the crowd with his songs including “Chill Bill” and “Rolling Stone (I’m Almost Ready).” Around 10 p.m., Wiz Khalifa took the stage, opening with a fl ash of lights, fog and his 2016 collaboration with Travis Scott, “Bake Sale.” Jones was able to hear both of her requests, as the rapper jaunted through a mix of some of his most popular songs span- ning his 12-year career. At one point, Khalifa even played Nir- vana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Khalifa’s stage presence captivated the Pavilion, as he led the audience through song after song with waving hands, an echo- ing chant of lyrics and, at one point, an arpeggio of “yeahs.” Before ending the show with a string of hits including “Work Hard, Play Hard,” “Young Wild and Free” and stadium pre-
