For the people who went, how was it? How was Nas, Common, Tech, Slaughterhouse and all of them?
-
It was amazing.. slum village still performed even though baatin passed.. tech nine killed it.. every redwon from the rascalz who started off the show did an amazing job
-
It was a good show. Talib Kweli missed his flight and almost didn't make the show. But Reflection Eternal did a quick set right before Nas & Damian.
It was Tech N9ne's first time in Vancouver and he loved the crowd.
-
copy and pasted from my post on another forum:
best: nas and damien marley. both absolutely killed it. nas did this cool version of one mic with just damiens drummer friend and phil collins i can feel it in the background. vid coming tomorrow
aside from that common had a great set... he didnt do enough songs though imo, it was mostly new shit except i used to love her. he did a cool thing where he did like 4 bars from a bunch of classics though. his dj was solid too
slaughterhouse was surprisingly good... they have great chemistry on the stage and got skits and shit. each member played an old school song and got the crowd to cheer for which guy/town was the best... royce got a big pop cause of the em song he played, so did crook who did g thang ("death row was the label that didnt pay me")... they had a meet + greet later too
red1 from the rascalz held it down... he needs to come back hard though maybe its just me but it felt like the crowd forgot who he was
chali 2na stayed on for way too long, but his performance was solid
big boi didnt show up, rza came instead. not a wu fan but odbs son was there and he was hilarious, did summersaults on stage for like 10 minutes after the set cause someone yelled I WANT A MILLION DOLLARS (name of his single). i think security was gettin mad at him for staying on for so long but its a good thing he did cause there was a half an hour long break after their set which was brutal
oh and yeah this fat white kid jumped on stage during nas' performance and did some stupid dance that was kinda funny
uhhh... tech n9ne im not a fan of but he sounded good. him and krizz kaliko have this really lame boy band song and dance routine though. at the end of the performance he got a bunch of chicks from the crowd to flash their titties. this was his first time in vancity and he got a huge pop, white folks love tech n9ne
talib kweli and hi tek were really weak. they did maybe 4 songs and kweli tripped over a bunch of lines. also when common did respiration he didnt come out for his verse [i guess now i know why]
krs one didnt show up either, b-real came instead and he killed it. he came back at the end to do a song with marley too
there was some short dog native guy but he sucked
supernat was hosting and he did his usual grab shit from the crowd freestyle, dope as always. he did this other song where he impersonated slick rick busta rhymes and biggie too.
slum village were there too but i wasnt at the stage
overall, money well spent. shit got annoying near the end tho, people started really cramming towards the stage and everyone basically ended up with no room to move around. all good tho. i got some vids/pics but none of em really came out well. ill upload some later maybe
-
^i was with big boi last night. He threw a dope ass party here in Toronto. That's probably why they didn't go. Sucks you missed him, his set was my favorite in Toronto. Then again I am a diehard OutKast fan. We had RZA 2, so that sucks u guys got the short end of the stick. KRS-One came here as well. Dope y'all got B-Real though, we didn't get him. The Slaughterhouse set sounded a lot better than it was in TO. Nas & Damian Marley were great here 2. Red-1, thats dope :o Tech N9ne killed shit here 2, first time in Toronto as well. Kweli & Tek were decent here.
-
Yeah, I was real bummed out that Big Boi didnt come.. i would've gladly cut a couple other cats out to see him do his thing
i had a great spot, started off 2 peope away fro mteh front.. after i got some drinks and food i still came back to within 8 people from the front
good times... my necks killin me from all that head noddin tho

I dunno why he was here but I think it was for caribanna. He threw a dope ass VIP party at The Sound Academy. Aha, I lost my voice at the show.

Thats the same way it was at Paid Dues homie. I had no room to move, u still got people tryin to get to the front, I saw a guy get cracked for tryin rush to the front, bumped into the wrong person. N ur pics aint that bad homie, u dont even wanna see mine of slaughterhouse lol. I used a camera phone, it was night, and the lights were bright as fuck so I only got a couple decent shots of them.
-

I wonder if anyone recorded all of the SH set or the whole show for that matter lol!!!
-
^ they were walking around streamin shit on to their twitters... i enjoyed their show they have great chemistry it was just too short to be considered one of the better performances. However, when royce did boom it made might night!! 8) 8)
-
^^ Ya I was watching that stream, I started watching it just before "Boom" came on, you couldn't hear shit though haha. Joe took his laptop with him by himself when he left the stage, straight into the trailer where he streamed for like an hour until when he got to the meet and greet, he showed all the people outside then his laptop died cause he said it was going to soon!!!
-
when is the Calgary show?
-
It was yesterday, already done!!!
-
The show was amazing!I was worried about slaughterhouse but they had an incredible set!Everyone did a great job but nas and damian were worth the money alone.Tech was good but i didnt like this song choices all that much to be honest.
-
can you still watch the video from the Vancouver show? Joe walked right past me on his way on stage and I wanna see if i'm in the video lol
