Bun B at SXSW

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008 – running time 09:37

We catch up with XLR8R's April cover star, Bun B, in his native Texas where he discusses being an elder statesman of hip hop, surviving in the music industry and why small towns matter.

The always eloquent rapper waxes wise about his new role as an elder statesman of hip hop, doles out advice on surviving in the music industry and why artists should go out of their way to play in small towns.
