Title: Bone Thugs Need To Retire: Powerhouse Review
Post by: SGV on June 24, 2007, 02:45:33 AM
One of my employees couldn't go so she gave me her tickets for Powerhouse. I came in at the tail end of Lil Wayne and Birdman's performance. Cant speak on that at all. T.I. was the next set and he killed it! Dude was off the hook. He brought out the Shop Boyz and they did Party Like A Rockstar. Pretty dope. T.I. did You Dont Know Me, Im A Flirt, Bring Em Out, ASAP, Motivation, Rubberband Man, Bang, What You Know, Big Shit Poppin'... His set was real hot. Luda was next. His set was cool. He brought out Bobby Valentino and Chingy. Chingy was horrible. Just when I thought Chingy would be the worst, Bone Thugs came out. The crowd was not into their set at all. They brought out Felicia (who they still call New LOL). All around just boring and long dragging set. Bone was better off not even performing. Akon even came out, but the crowd was not feeling the set AT ALL! Game was the headliner and he really went hard. He brought out Dub C and Omar Cruz... they performed that Powerhouse track. Shit was dope... People were really feeling Omar Cruz. Dub and Game did that Voodoo song. Shit was cool. He had a bunch of guests. He brought out Daz & Kurupt. He did Wouldnt Get Far and Kanye popped up. He did his verse and he performed Cant Tell Me Nothing. To close the show he brought out Snoop Dogg. They did Gang Banging 101 and California Vacation. Shit was hot.

But I couldn't believe how bad Bone performed at this show. It was depressing! Layzie didn't even know the lyrics to some songs.

Great to hear that the crowd was feeling O Dot Cruz 8) Although I highly doubt it, I'm still wondering: did he have a chance to do any other verses/songs?

yeah i ended up getting access through DJ Reflex.. it was alright.. i think imma lay off hip hop shows for awhile. shits just boring now.I got in during the middle of TI's set right before he brought out shop boyz. TI was probably the best performance of the night in my opinion. (fucked up thing was the schedule, I dont know how they placed TI before Bone, thats just ridiculous) and then Luda brought out and made up with chingy.. SGV forgot to mention that Luda also brought out Fergie for Glamorous. and hten bone came out and that was just the wackest thing ive ever seen. felicia was absolutely teerrible. her voice was insanely bad and squeaky. haha. Game was alright in my opinion, but wasnt really the best set.. but it was cool that he brought out WC, Snoop and DPG. but i dunno..  I really didnt understand TI going on so early in the night, isnt he like the biggest selling rap artists right now??.. and bones some washed up 10year+ rappers..

Oh yeah I forgot Fergie came out. Her body is bangin... she just need to cover that face!!!! Word to Felicia being terrible. I still can't believe how bad Bone was... I mean DAMN! To top it off, they didnt do a majority of their hits. They tried doing new music, but it was working. Thats it for them, they need to retire for real!

"Powerhouse" - that sounded dope when I heard the studio recording. Now I wanna know:

1. Will you have a live video of the performance on DubCNN?
2. Is there an actual vinyl of "Powerhouse"? If I can prove to the Original Hip Hop Lyrics Archive that a hard copy of it exists, I can write up the lyrics.

no, i dont think we have a live video of the performance, unless SGV has one.. but i doubt it.

im sure theres some white label vinyls of Powerhouse circulating around. Doubt that they will actually release an official vinyl though, since it was basically just a song created for powerhouse.

Shit is soo fucking true. I was surprised that they couldn't get any reaction from the crowd they kept yelling "Come on California represent" but no response the only song that had the crowd moving a little at best was 1st of the month. Very sad day for bone thugs. I have pics of the show I will get them off my cam and put them up later.

dam thats sad bout bone thugs. Last time I saw them at the dub car show and it was pretty cool but they basically did all the old ones and felicia wasn't there.

as for the powerhouse song its available for dl on dubcnn front page.

White labels are allowed on the OHHLA. I just need a valid HTML source so I can show it to Flash, owner of the website.

I'm curious - what is exactly a white label?

T.I. is keeping Hip Hop alive!!! Dudes must be tripping if they think he's not. Dude has commercial tracks but still keeps it VERY street oriented. I was just telling my brother, dude has longevity because he has a HUGE base with the fellas, but still makes enough tracks for the females to dig...

Post by: We Fly High on June 25, 2007, 11:40:11 AM
Game's set was pretty long, he did like One Blood, Dreams, Higher, How We Do, Wouldnt get Far with Kanye, Bang Out with Daz/Kurupt, and then Anybody Killa with Daz Kurupt too.. and then like did Gangbanging 101 and california vacation with Snoop, Voodoo with WC, and then that Powerhouse song with WC/Omar Cruz... Put you on the game.

but for some reason, it just wasnt a really cohesive or well done Game set in my opinion. I've seen him do better, like at the $2 bill MTV show.Maybe its cos he didnt really have time to soundcheck or prepare before going on stage (assuming he was still in jail).

it's a dope album...T.I. spits on some of those tracks for real...i agree though the album lacks some substance, 1-2 more songs like my type would of been sick...No wack tracks at all though

the best mainstream rapper is right on 8)

I saw Bone perform back in March, and they killed it.  Hopefully this was a one-time shit performance, but this was a terrible place to fuck up at such a high-profile concert.

Too bad about Bone.  But I haven't really been interested in their music since the Resurrection album, and that one was only decent.  They need to quit jumping on fads, fuck all the flavor of the week production / features on their albums.  Get back w/ Uneek or some other cat that isn't spreading beats all over other peeps albums and just focus on them.  Then get Bizzy's ass in rehab before he fuckin OD's, and start fresh.

And as for T.I., I can't stand seeing his videos.  I think he's corny as fuck.  He's grossly over rated, but mainstream rap has gotten so diluted with no talent shit that he comes off looking good.
