Punchline after punchline, Weezy delivers an unstoppable flurry of knockout blows - so much so that it's a lot to handle in person. His humor and energy get him far, but it's Lil Wayne's wit that puts him over. Not one seated person was spotted by this journalist during "She Will," and the venue appropriately shuddered during an a cappella performance of "Nightmares of the Bottom." The roof also proceeded to blow off of Gexa when he shut the show down with "6'7'." When he did dip into Tha Carter IV, though, people totally lost it. (Successful attempts: one.)Īlthough he pitched Tha Carter IV, the set didn't make the new songs Wayne's focus, instead opting for a slew of old hits that pleased the crowd, including "Got Money," "A Milli," "We Be Steady Mobbin'" and "Swag Surfin'." His female vocal support, Shanell, provided massive exuberance - she even spelled Wayne for a couple songs and kept the energy high. That was tough to predict Wayne simply cannot stay still, and he showed that by his numerous attempts to skate up and down a quarter pipe that was set up on stage. His gravelly flow scissored through the clear and booming sound from the P.A., and his nonstop energy kept the crowd on edge, wondering what the next turn would be. The energy of his performance was incredible. The rock-inspired Rebirth-era Weezy came out, as did the R&B singer in a rousing rendition of "How To Love" from his new record Tha Carter IV, a record that sold a million copies in half of a pay period. Throughout the night he showed the many faces of his personality, with the hip-hop kingpin mode sliding to the side for other faces to step forward.
He wore a green camo tee, shorts, a black cap, Vans and tube socks pulled knee-high a la Tyler, the Creator. His playfulness showed immediately, and his new-found enthusiasm for skateboarding was apparent as he emerged through a sliding door in the middle of the stage with a board under one arm.
