Anyone seen these boys live? What should be expected?
I saw them back in September and it was one of the youngest, rowdiest crowds/show I've ever been too. It was wall-to-wall hype the whole time. It was awesome, especially because their fans know all the fucking words and the sing-a-longs made the gentle moments a really interesting momentum shift.
Oh, also fuck bearface. Easily the worst part of BH.

Saw Kevin and the boys last night... If Bonnaroo doesn't give them late night, they're crazy. BROCKHAMPTON absolutely deserves it
Great, great show. They work the crowd better than any other rap act I've seen, plus they hit their verses incredibly well. I have a hard time believing Ameer is only 20
Honestly not surprised, I've heard/seen some stories on Reddit before/months ago that he was hitting on fans after the shows but got 'cockblocked' by other members.. Didn't know he had a girlfriend but this is very shitty

Shit. Very disappointed to hear this, hope it's not true but that sounds pretty damning.
Is this the end of BROCKHAMPTON, or could they just drop him from the lineup? I don't think he's as central to the group's success as Kevin is (EDIT: To be clear, I'm not certain how complicit in/enabling of this behavior the rest of the group was, and would want more details and explanations before remaining a full fan)

None of the members are on social media anymore. Hope they just kick Ameer out and make statements against rape culture/fake friends/etc before every show.

I think Kevin, Ameer, Joba and Matt are the most popular/central members. Merlyn, Dom, Bearface and Romil have a smaller impact on the group imo. Also, I don't think they're gonna drop him just like that though they should come out with a statement asap..
Though he has key verses in some of my favorite songs by them he is far from my favorite. Dropping him would not be too harmful seeing as there are so many of them. Hopefully that means Joba and Merlyn get more verses.

i guess they had deleted their social media like last week or something to ramp up promo for Puppy. Makes sense.
There’s more info on the mega thread on r/BROCKHAMPTON but Ameer reactivated socials and apologized for being a bad person in the past but also claimed he never broke the law in regards to consent/age of

Please check me if I am missing something, but I think people need to calm down a little bit on this one. He seems to be a shitty person who treats his partners terribly, but I would need a couple of bits of evidence before wishing for him to be tossed from the group.
1. I'd want to know more about the minor situation. It looks like he is 21 right now? In 2015 he was, what, 19... 18? So if he was hooking up with a 17 year old when he was 19... that isn't "have your career ruined" type stuff for me. Now, if he was 20 and she was 15, that would be gross. But, shit, I remember when I was a freshman in HS there were plenty of freshman girls dating college guys. It always annoyed me and I find those guys creepy, but I always thought that was a (way too) common occurrence.
2. It has been said a couple times that he doesn't ease his advances when told to. This is very bad. Would like to know more about that.
Other than those two points, I'm comfortable listening to his music. He is manipulative, has cheated, and emotionally abusive? I'd be willing to bet an unfortunately significant percentage of men and women in this world could fit that bill. I'm not going to stop enjoying music from people that are mean.
Do you really think that minor situation only happend once in those, what three years? It's even more questionable with the group blowing up so much in the past year..
I thought Kevin's instagram response today was super weak personally. Paraphrasing a lot here but he basically said, "I don't agree with what Ameer has admitted to and told him that. Dealing with family stuff in public is really difficult. Our album is going to be pushed back but I still want to release a single next month. I'm sorry if you're over this, I know I should've said something. I shouldn't have been quiet for this long. Should we play them a song?" But he didn't really say jack shit. Since, based on everything I've read, all this stuff about Ameer appears to be substantiated, this has really made me sour on Brockhampton. Was super excited to see them at Roo, but now I'm not so sure. It's just really shitty to me that no from the group has spoken up at all about this until this pretty meaningless "statement."
More allegations and it's not looking good. https://www.reddit.com/r/hiphopheads/comments/8m3xgz/more_new_ameer_allegation_details_surface/
I'm thinking they should probably drop Ameer from performing right now. If Brockhampton cancels their festival shows I'll be dissapointed, but at least I'll be able to see Bon Iver late night.
To me it sounds like he was straight abusive in the bedroom and Brockhampton decided to ignore it. It seems they don't care enough to do anything, and Kevin's response was honestly extremely shitty. Doesn't sound like they're even considering kicking him out, let alone cancelling shows. Also some of the lyrics are pretty disturbing now that I realize they're probably literal: "I love to watch them squirm. I love when bitches bleed."
Also that now-deleted twitter response from their manager is so fucking shitty, and makes me think that's probably how a lot of the group thinks as well.
