Drake, Nelly or Eve: Which guest are you most excited for during Bun B's Houston Rodeo takeover

It's Bun B day in Houston. How are you celebrating?

The legendary Texas rapper and entrepreneur is taking the stage tonight at the Houston Rodeo along with Drake, Eve, Nelly and the Ying Yang Twins. It might be the biggest collection of talent at NRG Stadium since it hosted the Super Bowl in 2017.

While Drake is certainly the biggest name that will perform tonight, I'm equally excited to see Eve and Nelly take the stage. A lot of their hits would make the cut for a soundtrack of teenage Chris's life. In fact, Nelly's "Air Force One's" still has replay value in my house and car. I'm also excited to learn if there are any special guests that we don't know about yet.

Who are you most excited about seeing tonight?
