Clip of Bill Withers performing one of his many classics. This performance is from Zaire 74 music festival which accompanied the Rumble in the Jungle heavyweight boxing championship match between Muhammad Ali and George Foreman in October 1974.

BELIEVE the hype and don't pay attention to the dumba$$ who do weekly entertainment reviews (entertainment weekly)...

"A B+??? How are you gonna grade this gift (concert) like it a f*cking term paper?!?"
~kanye, during his speech at the end of the concert...

a "gift" to his fans and those who love music that included...

lupe was cool...missed the first 20 mins though, damn traffic!
n.e.r.d = hype'd!
rhianna was...uhm...aight...honestly her part seemed outta place...the energy that lupe and n.e.r.d. brought to the stage was lost when her a$$ stepped on stage...

but then there was kanye...

One man, one mic...a one man show but there was a talking computer named jane, a big a$$ LED screen, a floating alien lady, smoke, illuminated balloons and flashing lights!!! the concert is like the concept of kanye show, its outta of this world! i felt like i was on another planet...the show was euphoric...I remember thinking to myself, "Man, am I really here seeing and experiencing this..." by the end of the night, i was in awe and tired as hell!!! don't want to go into too much...don't wanna ruin it for those who have tickets...

there were a lot of celebs there too, quincy jones, musiq, chris brown, bow wow and others, i'm sure someone will post pics on ybf, mediatakeout, bossip....

speaking of pics and the absence of...i didn't bring in my camera b/c i thought i was gonna get strip searched before walking in but i didn't even walk through a medal detector...i could of had an anti-aircraft gun in back pocket and they would not have check'd/cared...DAMN IT!!!

this is more than a concert...it is an event beyond this world and takes you to another universe...big ups to kanye and crew...thanks!

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A TICKET, DO WHAT YOU CAN TO GET ONE!!!!

glow in the dark preview

From C'est La Vie,

"FYI: Due to strict security they did not allow cameras into the venue but as you can see that didn’t phase us! Also, we apologize for some heavy movements while recording, we were feeling ourselves! Thanks and Enjoy!"

the beginning of the vid is pretty blah...but if you fast forward to the 4:25 min/sec mark you get a taste of what kanye has in stored....hottt!!!

Glow in The Dark Tour

so i have been looking for a concert to go to...no one in mind really. I looked up ticket info for concerts in atl...and i saw that the bravery have a show and it's $16 holla!!!! lol...i was even thinking about ballet, plays and musicals and stuff but then i came across this:

According to Kanye’s blog, this is the end of the world as we know it. The “Glow in the Dark” tour, coming to a city near you, will be featuring the Louis Vuitton Don himself, Kanye West. In addition to Mr. West, the boys from N.E.R.D. (Pharrell, Chad Hugo, Shae), Rihanna, and Lupe Fiasco will all be featured on the tour as well. There are no official dates or what cities the tour will hit, but we can assume that the tour will start in the Spring and conclude in the Fall and will go through most major US cities.


yeah i think i'll save my dinero for this one!

Smashing Pumpkins!

i saw the smashing pumpkins perform in greensboro, nc back in early november. yeah i know, i'm kinda slow on getting these pics up. at first i was sitting in "row z" the last row, terrible i know, but i decided to go up to the front and i found a seat, i was two rows behind the pit....lucky for me the person who was suppose to sit there never came...crazy huh?!? you probably can't tell from these few pics but the show was UN-BELIEVEABLE!
