Artists headed down to Austin, Texas in full force this year for the annual South by Southwest festival. Musicians like J.Cole, Nas, Joey Bada$$, Action Bronson, Big Krit and many more hit the SXSW stages all weekend.

During Cole's performance at the Moody Theater Saturday night, the rapper thanked his fans for supporting his latest project, 2014 Forest Hills Drive. He also showed love to his critics.

"Don't get it twisted, I don't care if you only like one song or just the first album," he said. "If you came through tonight to show love, I appreciate you."

Nas also showed love to his fans during his performance at Mass Appeal's BBQ-concert. The rapper also exchanged hellos with Kevin Gates, Mannie Fresh, Rae Sremmurd and Mike Will Made It.
