He wasn't into it at all. He performed a lot of the same songs you listed tho. That HipHop Saved My Life to Stack that Cheese transition was...
I was disappointed that he didn't perform shyt like Kingdom and WAV Files... Mural Jr?... King Nas?
Energy was low as hell, and he had to do an apperance at a club afterwards too. I didn't think he'd do Chicago like that, but he did. He was speeding up the DJ too, "No breaks, no breaks" basically telling him to just keep the songs going so he could get the shyt over with ASAP.
No transitions from song to song, no breakdowns, no fan contact, just got his shyt done and bounced.
That's a real bummer breh.
I know we just chatted in the other thread, but figured I'd mention it here too.
Just saw him last Sunday at Sony Hall. First time ever seeing the gawd and the show was great. I'll admit, I wish he played more tracks off Waves.
First track he played off Waves was XO, surprisingly, the crowd went nuts for. Don't like the song too much myself, but it was fun being there for it. After he finished it he said something along the lines of "That felt real good! I've barely played any of these songs live so this is new for me too."
Later on he played HH Saved my Life and Stack that Cheese right after. You can tell him and Nikki was a bit off performing it (since its so new I imagine), but it was dope nonetheless. At one point my boy and I was yelling out dumb loud "Streets on Fire!!!!" and he acknowledged us saying "sorry peoples, next two songs I'm about to play are solely for me." He proceeded with Cripple and Alan Forever.
We gotta keep in mind brehs, this is literally the first handful of shows off this tour for him. Wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't have much experience performing them. Can't be too mad at him for that.
He played lots of turn up tracks like Dopamine lit, Deliver (which I've been bumping nonstop since), etc, along with some tracks off The Cool like Go Go Gadget, and of course he performed his hits. He spit his Touch the sky verse.
The crowd went WILD for Around My Way. When he finished it he said something about how that's one of his realest tracks ever and he spit the whole thing acappella afterwards. I've always thought that track was amazing and its beast how he made it a single with all the jewels he dropped on it. Furthermore, I never understood how thecoli doesn't fukk with F&L2, one of my fave projects from him ever tbh.
He did a long freestyle at some point mid set. I was twisted by this point so I didn't get much footage of it. At the end of the show he stood around and was chatting with the crowd for a bit. Got to hug and chat with the beautiful Nikki while I was copping some merch too. No complaints at all for the NY show brehs. Just wish I got there sooner so that I could have been closer to the stage.
I know Lu (and maybe his peoples) likes to lurk the boards, so if you're reading this breh, you HAVE perform WAV Files breh! It's a MUST. After the show was over and everyone was leaving me and my homeboy was chatting with a bunch of ppl (maaaaad females was there too) and EVERYONE was waiting for WAV Files.
Don't slack Lu!
