ZERO PRIDE IN LIVE MUSIC

I was watching Jimmy Kimmel live last night and caught a performance by MstrKrft featuring N.O.R.E and Isis.N.O.R.E is a rapper and not typically associated with the group he was performing with last night,but the trouble is,they happen to have a hit on their hands.I don't know if N.O.R.E is bothered by this or not but given his absolutely appalling performance, I think that may indeed be the case.You see folks,this "performer" was doing his thing on stage and through out the song he would periodically check his phone for texts and not only that,I'm pretty sure he was actually answering them as well.It got to the point where he even messed up a line in the song and came in too late because of the distraction.Let's just say that for the benefit of the doubt that he absolutely had to take those messages on account of a possible emergency i.e a pending birth,hostage negotiations,or perhaps even a bitter break up.Now take into consideration the element of the live performance on network television,add the two together and somethings gotta give.
This was most likely simple self indulgence and a general disdain for the audience on the part of the "performer".The lack of professionalism exhibited was sad and frustrating for me,being as that I am trying desperately to break into the entertainment world myself and would never in a million years go into an audition and start texting in the middle of it,let alone during an actual paid performance.
Jimmy Kimmel himself made mention of the act in his end of show thank yous and good nights and that's when I realized I wasn't alone in my disgust.
If and when MstrKrft do any more talk shows to promote that song,you can bet that the featured rapper will be left at home.
