From the venue:
Eli Porter is best known as the Chamblee High student whose epic blank stare during a 2003 classroom rap battle lives on in Internet infamy. Who knew that his equivocal flow and fumbled catch phrase, “I diiid it,” would go viral, prompting a documentary film? The People’s Champion chronicles Porter’s life, health challenges and his ironic brush with fame — along with his ongoing struggle to live down that moment. Porter’s scheduled to perform after the film’s premiere.
