Just went in at Roxy wit Power 106
Last night I got the liberty of scoring tix to go see Waka Flocka at The Roxy in LA. I actually got them from Miss Info off her website. The whole show was UStreamed on his site and i heard had great angles. I got there about 30 mins early and had to wait in line for about an hour. Things were about hectic line wise because people getting hooked up had to wait.
Once I got inside at about 9, the wait was about another hour. Waka took the stage promptly at ten as promised and things picked up in to over drive immediately. He shot in to some crowd favorites and everyone had there hands up jumping around. It honestly looked like a rock show for "Love That Gun Sound". After 2 more songs he broke in to "Hard N The Paint", then immediately told his DJ to play it back. Then took his shirt off and jumped in to the middle of the crowd and started moshing with all his fans. I was standing shoulder to shoulder with him as he jumped around, shook his braids, and had his arms around people like comrades. Easily the highlight of the show.
The show continued with other songs like "No Hands", "POW", where i believe he was holding stripping contests and showering the crowd in dollar bills. Haha it was such a bigger change than what i was used to. He closed his set with the club banger "O Lets Do It", but not before he told the crowd:
“I ain't no Martin Luther King, or no Malcom X,” Waka told the crowd. “Why go to school to be a f**king rapper or a g*d*mn ballplayer, or a sports player? N**ga, you can be an astronaut; n**ga, you can be a lawyer, you can be an engineer. You ain't gotta be no rapper … like, real talk my n**ga. Get a long-term career man. Real s**t.”
Truer words were never spoken from a bamma. Highlights of the show can be seen here!:
