I'm sure if you were up front it was an amazing time. Sucks about all the lames in the back, but that's why you move forward.

[Imperor]

I had a p. good spot close to the front and ended up in a fairly large pack of die hards, so the shitty crowd thing wasn't something I noticed. Only shitty part about it was having to leave the Knife early.

The Future shit was garbage and killed what little momentum remained after the mini-Love Below set but "Elevators" got me right back into it. Really sucked Killer Mike was cut as I adore the man.

[PhilsFan]

For someone who hasn't been to very many shows, I've been at way too many shows where the people directly around me don't seem to be having a good time, unfortunately.

Speaking of RZA, this fella now has *puts on shades* nothin' to fuck with:

Rapper Reportedly Cuts Off Penis, Jumps Off Balcony in Suicide Attempt

[onebloodonelife]

yeah...saw that yesterday and was trying to put it out of my mind haha

"wu-tang affiliated" makes me laugh though. seems like everybody and their grandma can claim that these days.

[Imperor]

Here's the thing: if you're gonna jump, might as well hedge your bets and keep the penis just in case the suicide attempt is unsuccessful.

[onebloodonelife]

especially if your idea of a jump is from a second story balcony. maybe I'm mistaken here, but isn't that usually only 10 or 20 ft off the ground max?

[PhilsFan]

Basically. Unless you go head first you're at most in broken bone territory.

cool, that's what I was thinking.


not really sure where to put this because it's a bit more r&b, but oh well...behold spooky black aka lil spook. I've been listening to him for a minute now, but he's starting to get a decent amount of internet attention

YYEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!



But seriously, that shit's fucked up.

[bollox]

Actually, I think he was emulating ODB at the start of the classic video for 'Triumph.' Perhaps he was expecting to be saved by Inspectah Deck (who is apparently imbued with the superpowers of both The Flash AND Spider-Man)

Wu-Tang Clan featuring CappaDonna - Triumph - YouTube

3000's verse on "benz friendz" is pretty solid for a dude who doesn't straight rhyme much anymore. I was expecting that he'd only put in a chorus, but he did the hook, a verse, and the bridge. good shit.

[PhilsFan]

There is a wide receiver who will likely be a first round pick this year named Odell Beckham, and I really want his nickname to be ODB.

p.s. doc mckinney, who produced house of balloons and thursday, has been repping spooky black hard recently. kid's getting cosigns all over the place.

Then technical problems cut Ms. Jackson short and the crowd was so dead that Andre didn't want to give them what they wanted and literally turned his back on them for Hey Ya.

The way the show was sequenced was terrible and the crowd was terrible. Andre seemed fine until he got absolutely nothing back.

GFY

I will begrudgingly admit the solo parts killed the momentum a little bit, but they were still great and this nearly reads like you're blaming a Andre a lil bit, and sure I'm biased as fuck, but fuck the crowd. He's a fucking legend and deserved a hell of a lot more than what he got. She Lives in My Lap could have been replaced by say Happy Valentines Day, or Spread, or maybe a total backflip and acoustic Take Off Your Cool or a short piano perf of My Fav Things. But Prototype is a great song and was a hit. The sequencing was great if you ask me though looking at the setlist we didn't have Future (thank fuck, super happy about that, it's Outkast's show man) and our set was better.

I'm so thankful I managed to find a pack of diehards who loved my story and not disinterested fuck heads.

[onebloodonelife]

not sure if you guys know this or not, but it's not like they brought future out for the fuck of it...future's cousin is rico wade from dungeon family and future ran with them making music back in the early 2000s.

I totally get that it was outkast's show and future's part might have sucked, but thought some context might help a bit too.

anyway, glad it was everything you thought it'd be, cobbler.

[cobl04]

Oh I totally know all that. I'm just glad we got a Southernplaya breakdown rather than three new Future songs.
