More Game
Me and my brother hit the Game/Snoop show last night at the Pacific Coliseum. Had no idea there was that many gangsters in this city. You should have seen all the mean mugging that was going down in the stands. There was a mini rumble in my row between the Game and Snoop sets. And drunk dudes hollering all over the place. Even had a little personal drama of my own, but won't get into that here.
Was impressed with Game's ability to rock a stadium. His show is pretty decent in a club setting, but even better in an arena. He covered the stage well, charmed the crowd (hint to American rappers: complimenting BC bud always wins over local audiences; Vancouverites are ridiculously proud of that), and incorporated enough call and response routines to keep people on their feet. Plus, dude has a sense of humor. At one point, he took a moment to call out all of the haters that he has recently attracted (fame will do that), and he started running through all the petty reasons people hate. Don't really want to repeat here cause it was a little on the obscene side, but suffice to say it was some funny shit. Then, during "Dreams," he got people to hold up their cells and lighters; the sight of thousands of multi-colored lights swaying in unison was something else. Like a hip-hop christmas, or something.
I'm busy getting organized for the next leg of my trip. For the next couple of months, it's North American hip-hop time. Stay tuned.
One last thing...thanks to all the people supporting the site. Web traffic is bananas right now and it's very cool to get to share this journey/grind/hip-hop pilgrimage with you all.
