yesterday, drove/stayed at matts. missions today, COD4, walgreens, fresh and easy? pizza rolls, hot dogs, sandwhiches, fries, hot cheetos, sobes, ice cream. back. 2fast2furious. gone, racers on the freeway. lurkers in the hood. garage, was home.
First off... It was nothing less than an amazing spectacle.
NOTE: The pictures you see below were taken with my cell.
The staff/Kanye's Godzilla body guard were literally reaching over the fencing grabing
cameras and phones with no intentions of giving them back.
I was lucky to get what I could.
Arrived at 4:40pm, the public line was insane! The line wrapped around the whole San Diego Arena! Along side the arena, scalpers trying to hustle some tickets were there, along with this dude with a limp selling various colors of the infamous "Kanye Shades". So me and rob were looking for our little booth, walking past the general public line, people were looking at us in awe, thinking we were cutting them or what have you.
Finally we saw a group of about 10 people next to the RV's, we got to our needed destination. Soon after we arrived about 20 other people came. I was so glad our VIP people were just a few and not a whole bunch of mobbin people. Got our tickes and wristbands and went through the doors, first buying the tour shirts then down stairs to our private party room. It was pretty chill, they had sodas, sparking water, music playing [kanye of course], a bar, chicken bites, all the good stuff.
Our host got us together for a quick tour.
Unable to meet the artists, we just walked pass the door way leading to their dressing room. I guess the reason was if we were to walk into that room, in was connected to other various rooms that held, Rihanna, Kanye, Lupe, and N.E.R.D. So it was impossible to get a glance. But we saw the cool stars on the doors that read "Kanye West" in the gold star and such. We got to see all the equipment they used, saw the set up of the stages, pretty much a behind the scenes of how everything was gunna go down. After our tour, we were escorted happily by staff behind our door way were a black curtain was hung over, for sound check. They didnt want us peepin in before then..
Lupe was suposed to be on at 7:00pm.. it was already 7:10pm. The General public above us were not havin it. First off mad that they looked down the stairs and saw us there, wondering how the hell we got there before them, and that the show was running late. When the released us, it was a freakin race. I swear I thought I saw some girls in pumps fell down the stairs haha. Rushed to the front and grabbed ahold my piece of metal fencing. Not a minute later, hords of people were mobbin behind me, felt like a over packed school bus times 10! Now during each performance there was a brief intermission of about 15-20 min.
Lupe...
was amazing, honestly I dont think he should have went on first.. But regardless he did more than I expected.. Lupe's DJ had a clean letterman style FNF jacket on, custom of course.
Nikki Jean also made an appearance on several of Lupe's tracks. Known for "Hip Hop Saved My Life"
After his perfomance, he threw his sweater in the crowd, just missing my grasp! The people behind me were literally pulling the damn sweater in 5 different ways, I knew they were gunna rip that shit. In the end, I think some lil girl got ahold of it..
After N.E.R.D. made their way to the stage, seriously getting the whole crowd pumpin.
About 5 people were crowd surfing, sadly Pharrell didnt make his way onto our hands... After they were chuckin BBC tees out to the crowd, fights almost breaking out again.
Rihanna.. Not knowing much of her songs, other than her hits, girl did well. Looking super fresh in a catwoman like outfit, outlined in hot pink. With matching leather boots with a hot pink highlight to match. Her dancers did well too, props to them.
Kanye...
After Rihanna got down, it was at least a 45 minute intermission. Seeing a glimpse of his set during our backstage tour, I knew his set was going to be amazing. He opened up with "Goodmorning". He played all of my favorite tracks, his performance was at least.. an hour or 2 long, lost track.. Performed, "Hey Moma" that right there set the whole arena in an emotional state, a couple girls behind me were crying, thought I saw a guy too.. not sure.
The killer of course was "Stronger" Totally remixed that bitch and was so intense..
This concert is deff going to be unforgetable. Was worth every cent. Would do it all over again if I could haha. And this was only their 4th stop of like.. more than 20 im sure.
Overall, im still speechless. It was so surreal. You see these people on TV everyday, and thats the most you will ever see of them in your lifetime. To be 5 feet away.. its crazy. I had to look around for a couple seconds just to take it all in. Its like.. wow. Kanye West is right in front of me, TF?!
On the season finale of Rob & Big, [Reality show on MTV], Christopher "Big Black" Boykin becomes a father to Isis Rae Boykin..
Big Black-
"I WOULD LIKE TO THANK ALL MY FRIENDS & FANS FOR THE OUTPOURING OF LOVE AND CONGRATS FOR MY BIRTH OF MY LITTLE GIRL BUT GOOD THINGS COME TO AN END & THAT'S WHAT LIFE IS ALL ABOUT AS YOU HAVE ALREADY HEARD BY NOW THERE WILL BE NO SEASON 4 OF ROB&BIG IM TAKEING A NEW STEP IN MY LIFE RIGHT NOW &THAT IS FATHERHOOD AND ITS WAY BETTER THAN ANY REALITY SHOW OUT THERE ,THERE IS A TIME WHEN U MUST GROW UP &TAKE CARE OF RESOPNSIBLITES REAL MEN IN AMERICA KNOW WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT THE OTHER ARE JUST LYING TO THEMSELVES,LITTLE GIRLS NEED THERE DADDYS AND I WILL BE THERE FOR MINE,TILL MY TIME IS UP IVE BEEN DOING WORK ALL MY LIFE NOW IM DOING WORK AS FATHER..THANKS U FOR WATCHING THE REALIEST SHOW OUT THERE..PS U WILL SEE ME ON TV AGAIN MY OWN SHOW, MY OWN CREATIONS WITH MY CHUNKY BOY FAMILY WHERE REAL RESPECT & LOVE IS SHOWN..BE ON THE LOOKOUT!!"
I guess all things do come to an end... I was a fan of the show since season 1. Personally, I think Rob & Big is/was the best reality show MTV had. Not having a season 4 is a real bummer, but he is handling his business. Big props to that. Do your thing Big.
yeahh it was pretty legit. front row to every artist,danity kane, ray j.. ladies going nutss, oh and E-40 didnt show up, whack shit, main reason, aside danity kane, why i was going. the line up, well artists i liked that were going were, danity kane, ray j, E-40, roscoe umali, and glasses malone. others too, but werent that interested. ughh thenn.. this white girl [idk like a 10th grader or whatever] starts shit with a black girl, pushing and shoving, white girl gets balls and pops the black girl in the face, wrong move. [oh and yeah, thats me with the burgundy color shit w/black hat. cleared the way haha]
got her ass pushed up against the fence and got jumped. thats like.. thats like saying the "N" word in compton, and being white at that. WTF was she smoking?! cuz i want some of that.. hahaha
it was soo packed, like sardine status. over all.. good day tho, worth $30 to me..i think 92.7 is gunna get a bad rap for not having E-40 show up, i mean.. he was the highlighted artist too, whateva worth it to see all those artists that close.
