I was so hyper with my ventilation when they performed this at the Glow In The Dark Tour
I've been riding this high for 4 days now and I'm starting to come back down. Saturday, May 10, 2008 was one of the biggest, best, moments in my life as a fan of music.
I attended the Glow In The Dark Tour (GITDT) featuring Lupe Fiasco, N*E*R*D, Rihanna, and Mr. Kanye West. If I didn't know any better I would think that Kia Shine had saw the same exact show before he thought of releasing the track he has entitled "WOW" because WOW was indeed the case that day.
If you know anybody who is attending any of the GITDT shows forewarn them that although there is nothing but colored folks on the bill, they most certainly are not starting on CPT (Colored People Time). The show I attended in Bristow, Va was scheduled to begin @ 6:30pm and Fiasco was midway through "Hip-Hop Saved My Life" by the time I got to my seat @ 6:34pm. SPEAKING of HIP-HOP and how it saves lives, I would like to say that Nikki Jean who also performed on stage during that song, is by far, one of the most beautiful women on the face of the planet. This I know because I saw her walking around during an intermission and we were like 3 feet away from each other. I was secretly obsessing over her and l'd like to go on record by saying I still am, except publicly now. WOW to Nikki Jean.
The night was full of WOW moments. Lupe had the shittiest set to be honest, and I'm a Lupe fan to (the) "death..." of the cool. But he went on first and usually when you go on first you kind of have to get the crowd excited, the problem is there was pretty much nobody there. I've seen Lupe perform at least 4 times and I've enjoyed each one, this one was by far the worst, not due to Lu, but just because there wasn't many people there to scream and shout when he found out that he "are what you say you are, a superstar." Matthew Santos as well as Miss Sarah Green are so vocally talented, it's tough to determine the real on a cd but in live and in color, they were both equally impressive.
After I saw Nikki Jean after Lupe's set and I came to my senses, I realized I wasn't seeing things, but in fact I was. I was Seeing Sounds (June 10th). N*E*R*D rocked, and I mean rocked the crowd so hard, that Chris Brown came out and "Spazz" out a little bit on stage and in the front row of the crowd while they were performing. It was definitely a WOW moment. Then they played my shit, Everyone Nose, which the video should be dropping soon and I was geeking. Jumping up and down in my seat like my momma ain't teach me no better.
Rihanna looks so soft....
Rihanna is like the heir to Beyonce's so-called throne. Initially I wasn't too fond of her as a performer until I saw her live and she doesn't give a half bad show to be Frank. To be Earnest, she looks as if you touch her you'll melt, she just looks that damn soft. Her stage presence is a lot like Bey's which is why I say she's heir to the thrown because she's been putting out hit after hit after hit in a faster pace than I've seen any female R&B singer. It's almost to the point where it's scheduled maintenance. Did I mention Rihanna looks so soft? WOW.
Wake up Mr. West....
I honestly had no idea what to expect from Kanye. I've seen Kanye perform back in the day when he was on the bill with Usher and Christina Milian was the opening act. That show was crazy but it was all about Ush and Kanye only had one album out at the time, not a lot of material to perform, mostly shit to talk. This was HIS show and HE stole the show. By the time Yeezy woke up on stage to the drum of "Graduation" I was already thinking that this show was on some next level tip, out of this world if you will. Ironically enough that's the vibe Yay was going for as he stuck to this outer space theme with his special effects of shooting stars and spaceshps. The stage that folk have been showing in the blogs and on hip-hop sites was done NO JUSTICE on the wireless web and could only truly be appreciated in person. The stage itself was its own stage on the stage if that makes sense, the band was all behind the stage, so all you got was Kanye and special effects courtesy of Muppet Babies' Jim Henson. From Fog spraying everywhere like champagne on a dumbed down verse, to the hydraulics of the stage moving Kanye above and beyond the crowd it was definitely a WOW moment. I was speechless, I took as many pictures as I could although security told me numerous times to put the camera away, but fuck them! and that's where I stood. Because the show was 21,000 people in attendance and at least 2,000 had cameras. It seems as is they are filming the tour for a movie, because they had their own cameras from all sorts of angles, broadcasting on the big screen for those who were unfortunate enough to only snag a lawn seat ticket.
If there is a DVD release for the concert, I'm definitely buying, and I encourage everybody else to do the same. Even if your not a fan of his, the performance in itself was worth the purchase...but that's just What JLB Thinks..and knows in this case.
So the boy Plies has a song called "Bust It Baby," ever heard it? Well it sucks...
Sucks so bad they had to remix it with entirely new lyrics, new beat, and threw the boy Ne-Yo on it...instant radio hit! Amazing how that works ain't it?
As far as the substance of the song, I'm kind of at a point that I am about Usher having relations in the club. I'm impartial. Plies has never spit a verse on any song that he's been on thus far that made me ball my fist up, place it over my mouth and just say "ooooh," he's not that kind of rapper, he's a goon (miami for thug)...I guess that what he is, because he doesn't flow, he doesn't ride the beat, he just gives you real talk through his eyes and through his loins with this "Bust It Baby."
Like I said, the song sucks, so bad that they had to remix it with Ne-Yo. The track itself is hot, Ne-Yo's vocals are right, as they usually are because he's a vet in the hit-making department, but the things that Plies say on this song, just make it tasteless much like the Customer (Remix) with R. Kelly. His first line in the song is "If I wasn't married to the streets it'll be you/your lips is what make you so cute." Ok...
What is a Bust It Baby? I've been asked that several times and what it seems like to me is this is just another "Down Ass Chick" that Ja once rapped about (Where's Jaaaaaaa!?!?!?! Save me Ja Rule) or a "Shawty" that Plies rapped about with fellow Florida fella Teddy Penderass Down. The song never says that she is his number one woman, but more so along the lines that she has that good loving and that he can't wait to see her thus "speeding in the fast lane, pedal to the flo' mane, trying to get back to her love." Which is all understandable I get it! We all get like that at some time or another. I'm not really going to delve into this too much more but he (Plies) does say "...call her wet wet because she mess up all my bed sets."
I'm ending it on that note. I'd much rather know what you all think about the song and its lyrics.
Okay so the post about R. Kelly's hair was the first addition of "WHATJLBTHINKS SMH" (Shake My Head) I didn't go into detail but all of these segments will have the labels of SMH. These posts I need not go into detail about but I just feel the need to share as my first instinct was to SMH. Ya'll got it? Good!
At Towson University's annual Tigerfest, The Roots opened the show with Track 9 from the new album Rising Down. The track is called I Can't Help It. The album is hot fiyah by the way. I got a copy early, courtesy of CD Depot.

Touch My Body Remix feat R. Kelly, the self-proclaimed "remix killer." I agree, I don't know who makes songs worse nowadays him or Whoopi's son, Dwayne.
Raheem Devaughn feat the Pee Piper. "If you're thirsty I got that good, good, lemonade." SMH
This is a new Usher duet with Beyonce for Love In This Club feat Lil Wayne. So does that make it a 3-way love making in the club? Some one forgot to inform Ush that you can't have a duet with 3 people.

Haters and Bloggers alike! What it is folks? I've been on my JT shit, not nsync with what's been going on in the world the last few. My momma had to undergo surgery and all my attention has been diverted to that. Now that she's been discharged and is home sound asleep, I can get back to this blog life.
I must admit, it's only been a few days and I was already getting a little blogsick but today's post is going to be a refresher for not only myself but for all you haters and bloggers alike. No one topic to focus on today but I wanna touch on a few things ;-) Ladies...
It's been announced, K.G. Defensive POY! Ginobli Sixth Man of the Year (big shocker there). If anybody saw the Wiz get thumped last night or at least had to be reduced to watching updates on your mobile device like I did, you would have seen the actual footage or boxscore of a man possessed by the name of LeBron. Yeah, I know, I called an upset in the series which at this point it means the Wizards have to win 4 of the next 5 games if it makes it that far. 7 points for Gil, a combined 10-36 FG from the BIG 3 in Butler, Jamison, and Arenas?? That ain't gonna get it done in NO GAME. Luckily for them no suspension for Brendan Haywood. Spurs vs Suns tonight, I think the Suns'll bounce back from that instant classic, Magic and Raptors play tonight as well as the Mavs and Hornets.
Transitioning from NBA to music, I just read Soulja Boy was 'offended' by the statement LeBron made about the Wizards' DeShawn Stevenson trash talk. Bron Bron said for him to respond to DeShawn, would be like Jay responding to Soulja Boy Tellem. And this guy has the right to be "offended" like he's talented or something. Hey Soulja Boy, let me tell you something...Fuck Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu. The only reason anybody knows about your recent emotions of offense is because it's been a slow news day.
So apparently Fiddy Sense is pissed off at A. Keys over some statements she made about "gangsta rap" and making an example out of him. He openly admitted that he's no longer a fan of hers, big deal! He cried his river, now get over that shit! Guess Fif didn't like the fact that there is actually one woman on the face of the planet that ain't on his dick.
Speaking of Fif and things he doesn't like apparently Young Buck's alleged drug abuse was a one of them and he gave Buck the G-Unit Boot as a result. Hmmm when have we heard of a record company boss exiling a rapper over drug abuse. I'm not sure it ever happened because this business is all about that Cash Money...I wonder how B.G.'s doing?
Sticking with the hip-hop theme for a moment, Nasir Jones, that crazy nigger has a new song out. Any guesses as to what it's about? "Be a Nigger Too," is the title. I'm in full support of NaS and his attack/approach with this album. I'm interested as to see how many spins this N word plagued track gets on terrestrial radio. Peep the audio below to give it a listen. If ya'll don't think Esco's the most daring nigger in hip-hop, then you're just as crazy as that nigger is...but that's just What JLB Thinks
