Bun
B
recently
discussed
his
involvement
with
the
Houston
Rodeo
as
well
as
the
lineup
for
his
upcoming
All-American
Takeover,
including
Rick
Ross.
Veteran
rapper
Bun
B
is
a
true
representative
of
his
home
state
of
Texas,
and
in
a
recent
interview,
he
shared
how
he
got
to
be
involved
with
the
Houston
Livestock
Show
and
Rodeo
for
his
Takeover
concert
series
celebrating
Black
cowboys
and
their
contributions
to
Western
culture.
In
speaking
with
The
Madd
Hatta
on
his
Majic
102.1
radio
show,
the
UGK
MC
was
asked
about
how
he
got
involved.“So,
I
had
been
part
of
a
sounding
board
for
the
rodeo
for
a
couple
of
years,”
Bun
B
began,
“They
would
come
and
sit
with
me
and
ask
my
opinion
on
different
directions
they
wanted
to
go
in.”
Bun
B
had
first
performed
at
the
event
back
in
2007
when
Beyonce
delivered
her
concert
performance.
He
continued:
“There
was
a
relationship
that
was
formed.
And
then
two
years
ago
they
asked,
“Hey
if
we
gave
you
a
day,
what
would
you
do?”
Just
like
that.
And
I
had
this
very
grandiose
idea
of
bringing
all
these
people
in
and
we
just
gotta
get
a
jet,
and
all
that.”
The
“Still
Trill”
rapper
then
revealed
that
his
wife
helped
him
scale
down
his
plans
a
bit.
“That
just
seems
like
a
whole
lot
of
trouble.
Why
don’t
you
just
bring
a
bunch
of
Houston
people
‘cause
they
all
live
here,
they
can
just
drive,”
he
said.
That
led
to
the
H-Town
Takeover,
which
featured
Paul
Wall,
Lil
Keke,
Lil
Flip,
and
Slim
Thug
in
2022.
In
its
second
year,
the
Southern
Takeover
featured
Erykah
Badu,
Big
K.R.I.T.,
Big
Mike,
David
Banner,
MJG,
and
Scarface.
For
this
third
year,
the
All-American
Takeover
looks
to
be
just
as
huge
as
Rick
Ross
will
take
the
stage
along
with
Nelly,
Too
Short,
and
E-40
along
with
That
Mexican
OT.
More
artists
are
expected
to
be
announced.
The
show
will
take
place
on
March
12
to
close
out
the
festivities,
and
it
will
be
held
at
Houston’s
NRG
Stadium.
The
rodeo
itself
will
kick
off
on
February
27.
Tickets
for
the
All-American
Takeover
can
be
found
on
the
Houston
Rodeo’s
website.
