I promised that I would speak on the Great Hangover Tour that featured PA artist and social intellect/my favorite white boy Asher Roth and the amazing...wonderful...deep...sexy...Kid Cudi. I have to say that they did a good ass job and I definitely got my 30$ worth. The sold-out event was held at the Nokia Theatre right in the heart of Times Square. Lucky me, I got to stand on the second teir smack dab in the middle, allowing me to gaze into Cudi's eyes all night long. Besides, I wouldn't want to be on the bottom with all the drunk and high people. Either way, here it goes.
7ish p.m.: My friend and I arrived at the theatre. Let me tell you, the line was wrapped around all type of streets in mid-town. There was a loud group of obnoxious teens who thought Jim Jones was going to be there. Hmm, go figure. Either way, after about 15-20 minutes we finally got inside.
7:45-8: The place was honestly perfect for a concert. There were three levels: one was for standing, the second was for standing (but sucked unless you were'nt in the front like me!), and the third was for lazy ass people who wanted to sit. The DJ came on and did his thing, ya know...getting everyone hyped, playing all types of goodness, and then Cipha Sounds and his bff who are 'fucking famous' came on stage to introduce the opening act 88 keys.
Mica DOES NOT LIKE 88 KEYS! NIGGA YOU SUCK. Honestly, he was awful. Not only can he not dress, but his beats are awful, and all he talks about is sex. Like honestly he is a nobody. What made it worst is that not only did anybody not move to his songs, but he tried to call out people who he produced for and no one knew them. SMH. That's embarrasing. But he brought out Colin Munroe and that was cool even though the first thing you want to do with Munroe is feed his skinny ass. Either way, 88 keys was just awful. If he is Kanye's best friend, Kanye needs to stop being shady and let this nigga know that rapping is not his calling. It's like if you're wearing an ugly shirt and your friend says that it's cute and then you go out into public and people laugh at you.
9ish: Cipha sounds brings out Asher Roth! Asher Roth did his thing! But that nigga was fucked up. He came out on child's toy escalade which is pretty damn cool, had a giant blunt in which he called cannon, but in the end did the damn thing. He performed songs like I Love College, Sour Patch Kids, As I Em, and Be By Myself. There were some other ones but I don't remember. However, it was soooo funny when he performed Be By Myself because he straight played this girl on stage. In the end, Jim Jones came out for I Love College and it just made the room feel so much better. We were all in love with each other during that song. Roth is my new favorite white boy.
10ish: CUDI SHUT IT DOWN! First off, anyone thinking of going to this concert should not have Epilepsy. I'm so dead ass when I say this because the lights were CRAZY! I mean he had lights on the stage that went with his songs and then behind his there was this big screen that showed pieces of art and random video footage, and video of outer space (peep the the video I posted for a look into what he did). It worked though. He performed a lot off of 'A Kid Named Cudi', a song featured on his mixtape 'Dat Kid from Cleveland', and 2 new songs off of his new album 'Man on the Moon: The End of Day'. I posted Mr. Solo Dolo below so you should peep that. But his performance was amazing. I'm so proud my little Cudi grew up and had special effects! Every other concert was simple but aw shit he finally got to do what he wanted to do.
Snaps for Roth. Snaps for Cudi.
