Ha ha... I been busy lately. Wellington, New Zealand has never really seen whats been happening here in the last two weeks. We had a couple of concerts of calibar which we don't normally see.
Firstly, we had a hip hop all star line up... Bone Thugs N Harmony, Ice Cube and Snoop Dogg. I wasn't really too fussed about going to this concert until I went out the night before to a local hip hop gig to support some of the boys. While the gig was on BTNH, WC, Kurupt and Daz turned up. Not only did they chill in the "VIP" area, they actually got on the mic and did what they do best. They didn't just play their songs, they even covered some other artists songs. That got me hyped on the idea of their concert. Somehow managed to swindle some tickets and ended up at the show the next day. I'm so glad that I went. The concert was amazing! Bone Thugs were just starting as I got in (the line to get in was huge!), and although I haven't really liked their stuff for a long time. I got into it... Especially when they started playing their classics... First of the Month was awesome.
Then it was Ice Cube's turn... With a little help from WC. They were nuts... I liked the way that they got the crowd hyped. With the amount of music that Cube has put out in the years he's been doing it... His song selection was good. He only played two of the new album's (Raw Footage) tracks. Other than that he played what everyone wanted to hear... That old skool gangsta music. Him and WC doing a couple of Westside Connection tracks was good, Bow Down was insane... But then Cube doing some old NWA tracks had heads like mine banging like never before. Cube and WC were c-walking all over the stage and really getting into it. So that had the crowd in a (albeit marajuana induced) frenzy!
The headlining act, Snoop Dogg had a good set too. Although he did look hilarious in his one piece blue bandana print suit. It looked like he was wearing pyjama's and everytime I looked at him I wanted to laugh. He looked like he wanted to throw gang signs up in his sleep... I guess he's committed... 24/7... Ha ha. But other than his attire... I couldn't fault his performance. I liked the added factor of him bringing his band to play his songs. His set was similar to DVD's that I've watched of previous performances. But with Sensual Seduction added in. But in saying that... He didn't disappoint. It was awesome... And I'm so stoked that I was there to witness it. He finished off with Whats My Name? I was really impressed by his whole performance.
Looks like I'm getting more tired and more tired by the minute... Another epic weekend for me... Shout outs to the rolling20deep crew... One day we'll stop partying as hard as we do... It just won't be anyday soon. So I'm gonna get some sleep right now. I'll try to get back onto the computer tomorrow after work and give you the run down on the Chris Brown/Rihanna concert. And maybe post the video's that I'm really impressed with right now Live Your Life and the Mrs. Officer/Comfortable video. Good songs... Good video's!
