I'm going to the Kanye West concert in Albuquerque, New Mexico tomorrow. It starts at 7 and is supposed to end around 12 or later.
Lupe Fiasco and N.E.R.D are also going to be there. I think Lupe will have the first hour, N.E.R.D the second hour, and then Kanye will play for the next two hours.
I'll let you all know how it goes. Should be the show of a lifetime. I got a VIP table at the after-party at some club. Kanye is supposed to show up as well.
Anyone been to one of his concerts by any chance?
-
Those kinds of concerts are boring, no offence.
-
You do realize that Kanye puts on one of the best shows in the world. It's a fact... :rolleyes:
-
Yeah, but the copncerts themselves are boringggg... Slaming hardcore parties are way more fun. Plus he is a maintream figure.
-
You make no fucking sense!
So Kanye is not boring but his concert is? How does that make any sense? He's one of the best performers and he's supposed to put on a sick show with crazy light effects. These artists are some of the most talented rappers out there. If you are dissing this concert just because you are not a rap fan, then don't even reply.
-
Woooooow... Light effects!!! The awesomest thing ever!!! The lights at the LP concert that i went to were a lot crazier, imo. Rap concerts are boring, i've been to one, nothing compared to hardcore/screamo concerts. A bunch of uneducated retards from ghetto neighborhoods trying to sell weed to each other, calling everyone "brutha" or "dawg", simply bastardizing the language.
-
Yellow card for you. It expires in a month. One more racist comment from you and you'll get a one month ban. Don't worry, I won't hesitate. Your presence won't be missed around here.
-
Highlight the racist part, there was so racism since there are whites living in ghetto neighborhoods as well.
And you can ban me all you want,i've already told you what it would mean.
-
You are stereotyping and making racist comments towards all black people. You are grouping them and making them all out to be the same. I'm sure if you told this to a black person face-to-face, you'd get your little punk face beat.
Now shut up, take your yellow, and stop ruining this thread any further. I've replied to your PM.

Kanye was alright in the beginning. Alright but not a great rapper. The guy can make good beats but as a rapper I'm not a big fan. Should be a good show tho everything sounds, looks and feels so much better live. Good luck.
-
have fun adi. i personaly have never been to a concert. get some photos?
-

Hahaha yeah, watch out Adi :biggrin: but I doubt Kanye could lift up Adi though :biggrin:
-
I like Kanye West. He isn't an amazing lyricist, but he does produce insane beats. And coupled with his decent lyrics, he makes enjoyable music. I don't rate him as one of the best rappers, however, he is definitely out of the mainstream rappers. Should be a good time.
-
Ah, he's amazing.
Have a good time. :thumbsup:
-
i saw him at the Diana Memorial concert. was gd. :down:

The concert was unbelievable! It was my first real concert and I can confidently say that I will never see anything like it again. That is unless I go to another Kanye show.
Lupe Fiasco opened up and put on a sick show. His opening song was The Coolest and it was remixed by Justice. Apparently they are remixing his latest album. I bet it's gonna be real good especially after hearing that first song.
N.E.R.D came up next and adding some new flavor to the whole thing. Their rock/rap feel was unique and they were really into it. Pharrel is a crazy mofo with his crazy dancing. He went down to the fans and walked right by me. I was about to grab him but the bouncers were gonna kill me had I touched him.
And Kanye... he left me speechless. I didn't want the show to end. He truly is a great performer and deserves all the credit he gets.
Here are some picture of where we were. We sat 9 rows from the stage. The seats were amazing. I have also attached two videos of the concert. These are not my videos but the show was the same. Take those video and put me in the 9th row and you'd get a good idea of what it was like.
Kanye had a nice little story to the whole thing. He went up to space in his spaceship and crashed. His performance of Hey Mama was touching as well considering what he had to go through with his mom's death. He remixed it a bit and added a new feel to the song with his mom's death - "Last night I saw you in my dreams, Now I can't wait to go to sleep..."

Seems like you had a blast. I'm happy for you and jealous aswell. I hope too go to some event of this sort aswell soon!
-
Haha, looks like an awesome show man! Kanye looks crazy. :bowdown:
-
that looked great. any vids of the n.e.r.d performances?and how much did the tickets cost?
-
The tickets were $75 on Ticket Master. They sold out though so I had to buy off eBay. I ended up getting damn good seats and for $55 a piece.
Haha, check out Kanye's wicked dance during Flashing Lights:
And this was N.E.R.D playing Rockstar. This was actually the venue I was at and about the seat I had.
-
By the way, you all should look into going to the concert. He's touring the US right now and will head overseas pretty soon. You can get tickets at good prices on eBay. It's seriously worth it.
-
also, tom petty and the heartbreakers and Steve Winwood are going on tour soon. So is REM.
-
wow must have been cool.
