T.I. & Friends present: Live Your Life Tour
At this point, it's worldwide knowledge that T.I. will be going to jail on felony gun possession charges for a year and one day. He is TRULY blessed to have such a small amount of jail time for such a large crime. What better way to say farewell than a concert in Miami!! Check the pics and flicks...
(Qiana, me, Monique, Jazmine)I'm pretty sure the first time I heard "You Don't Know Me", I ran around the house screaming. lol...seriously. I L-O-V-E that song. I have all six albums, pretty much considering me a fan of his, so there was NO doubt that I would be going to this "farewell" concert. I went in only wanted to hear three songs..."Punkie", "My President is Black", and "You Don't Know Me".
Lloyd: I was, and still am confused as how he ended up on this bill. I just don't get it, but he wasn't half-bad. We came in halfway through his performance, but were able to catch the songs that were of any relevance..."You", "Get It Shawty", and "Girls Around the World". I feel like I was expecting a little more from him, performance wise, but it was entertaining.
Sean Paul: Although I can never understand what he's saying, I've been a fan since his little cameo in Belly! I've seen him in concert before, but he was the headliner. I think I enjoyed that performance more because he seemed to put more effort into it. I love the trio of dancers he always has on stage with him. They're too cute!! He performed "Punkie" (check the video), which made me happy happy!
Young Jeezy: Jeezy does "hood" better than the majority of the mainstream artists out. The last time I saw him live was in 2006, but it was still before his second album dropped, however, three albums in, he DEFINITELY still "does it for the hood"! I'll admit, Jeezy was a slow burn for me. I was determined not to get on the bandwagon, but to no avail. He did perform "My President is Black", with a surprise peformance by Mr. Jones himself, Nas. Judging from the crowd reaction, I don't think most people knew it was him, until halfway through his verse. It was a treat nonetheless. The crowd LOVED Jeezy. He's absolutetly a rapper of the people.
T.I.: So...ask my girls...I went nuts when YDKM came on. lol. Like Sean Paul and Young Jeezy, this wasn't my first time seeing T.I. in concert, but that was pre KING, which for all intents and purposes was his crossover album. Since then, he has SURELY made some hits, and it seemed like he performed all of them. I, like many people I'm sure, was expecting some surpise performances, but there were none. I think a lot of that had to do with how LONG the concert was! We didn't leave there until 1:15am, and it started on time, at 8pm. lonnnnnnng. T.I. is a great performer. He has great energy, and gives these little soliloquies before his songs that I LOVE! They're so funny (Although i'm sure they're not supposed to be).
Lil' Wayne hopped his little self on stage, but he didn't perform anything. The concert was fun. T.I.'s getting to the point where he has enough songs to carry a concert without so many other artists on the bill. By the time he came on the stage, it felt a little rushed, which for those of us who came to see him, could have done without.
Okay. I'm on my way to dig out my "FREE T.I." shirt...
