LL Cool J put on a fantastic perfomance, lots of audience participation and alot of love tossed out to crowd, very personable man...Loved it and I'm not a fan (went with my lady. Salt n Peppa put it DOWN....Lovin' Peppa. Performance was HIGH ENERGY and full of FUN....
Salt n Pepa was spectacular. LL Cool J is still so fine just like he was when he was 17.
James Todd Smith is the name. Wow, what can I say about LL ? I got into hip hop in the early 80's and it has been a part of me ever since. As far as LL, to me he is always a battle rapper first. Yes, some of his stuff got softer in the 90's and 2000's, but, it has always remained mainstream. I have seen interviews with him, and he is just totally genuine and I am a big fan of his acting in NCIS:Los Angeles. As far as the concert, the venue was decent and the weather was great. Salt N Pepa opened and I have always loved those gals. I do wish though that they would do more of their songs in full and stay away from the medley of songs. The girls are just beautiful. LL then came onto the stage. Ladies love Cool J, everyone loves cool J. He was terrific, in great shape, sounded great, and you could tell he was having fun entertaining everyone. Definitely in his zone. Considering I started listening to him almost 30 years ago, it's like he was untouched by time. I wish he could have just rapped for hours on end as he has so much material. DJ Z-TRIP was fantastic, got the crowd warmed up, and ripped things, especially on "Rock the Bells". The sound system was loud and clear with good bass response. Definitely a proud moment in hip hop history. This man has come down a long road and is shining still and that goes for Salt N Pepa too.. It is also kind of weird to say I saw them in concert here on the West Coast. Back in the day, everyone kind of pretty much kept to either one coast or the other.
Loved this show. LL delivered and had the 'old ass' crowd up on our feet the entire hour. Only negative would be that it was just an hour - though he did most if not all his songs I wanted more!! HUGE downfall was the traffic. Took 2 1/2 hours to get to LACF grounds which should have taken less than an hour. The parking attendants were useless. I specifically asked where spots were and she told me a "parker" would tell me where to go. He flashed a light and pointed me in the direction of where ALL the other cars were and NO spots. Frustrating. Therefore we missed all but one song of Salt & Pepa which was very dissapointing.
LL is still great! Salt and Peppa are still awesome on stage. Will see both again If given the opportunity.
from the moment this concert started I could not stop dancing I don't even think I ever sat down. this was one of the best concerts I had ever been to and was unsure at first because it was at the fair,but all in all I had a blast LL Cool J was Awesome and so were Salt-N-Pepa if they are there next year you can bet I will be there and I will bring my friends!
LL Cool J did an amazing performance. He was very inneracting with the fans, He was one of the best performers I've ever seen.
He is still doing his thing at the level he was doing it in the 80's! I enjoyed L's performance and recommend anyone who is a fan to go check him out.
LL Cool J can rock the whole audience with only a microphone in his hand. No backup rappers, no lame dancers twircking, ust his classic songs dropped by Dj Z-Trip is all he needs. It was like an Old School party in the audience. Everyone was dancing, singling waving their arms.
Overall the concert was fantastic. It was good to people from all walks of life and all ages there. I loved although it was a converted racetrack for concerts it had an intimate feel as opposed to the large venues. All in all two fantastic thumbs up for the show. My wife enjoyed every minute of it.
This was first time I ever saw LL live. He was dope. Salt N Pepa too. All the old school folk were out enjoying themselves. Loved it.
The best concert for the end of the year. Love the event place ever seat you was able to see the stage. Salt n Pepa was a great open act and LL shut the show down. Would tell anyone they miss a wonderful concert..
SEEING HIM WAS AMAZING. I THINK HE DID AN AMAZING JOB ON BRINGING BACK THE OLD SCHOOL FEELING FOR ME. I FELT LIKE I WAS BACK IN HIGH SCHOOL AGAIN. BOTH GROUPS SOUNDED AMAZING AND REALLY GOT THE CROWD GOING. SEE US OLDER FOLKS(NOT TO OLD) CAN REALLY GET DOWN WITH GOOD MUSIC!!!!!
The best concert ever!!! Waited 25 years to see them and they killed it!!!
De La Soul, Public Enemy, Ice Cube and LL Cool J on the same stage? What more could you want? Being able to finally see Ice Cube live was awesome.
The show was amazing from beginning to end, De La Soul was good, then Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick set the stage on fire! Public Enemy brought the political energy and the evening was topped off with a tremendous 90 minute set by the G.O.A.T., LL Cool J, who electrified the crowd, turned on the ladies and invited me up onstage for "Going back to Cali", probably cause I was wearing a Lakers jersey! All in all 4 enjoyable hours!
The tickets said the show started at 7pm, but the web site said 6:30. Chuck Chillout seemed to be spinning early, and the crowd hadn't filled the arena when De La Soul came out. De La was the highlight of the event - the rocked the mic clearly and would have loved to hear more from them. It was great seeing Doug E Fresh and Slick Rick, but we missed Cube. PE put on a great show and LL surprised us all. He did blocks of harder stuff and his pop/love songs as well as some more obscure stuff for the hip hop heads.
This was the best birthday present I have ever had. The concert was soo amazing. I had a great old school time with all the entertainers. De La Soul, Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick, Public Enemy and of course LL COOL J. This was by far one of the best concerts I have been too in a long time.
To grow up listening to Hip-Hop and never making it to an actual concert, this concert made up for it. The line up of De La Soul, Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick, Public Enemy and LL Cool J was amazing. They put on an incredible show. They did not stop once they started.
The performers were great, but it seemed like they were all separated. A group would perform and then there would be a 15-20 minute break until the next performer came on. I would have thought that they would have got together on the stage all together at some point to "hype" each other up on the performance. The only one that came out with another performer was Chuck D with LL Cool J. Overall it was great to see the old school rap, but besides De La Soul interacting with the crowd, there wasn't much crowd interaction.
