Wale should have arrived earlier and stayed longer
by davetrainofpain on 9/17/11Littlejohn Coliseum at Clemson University - ClemsonWale was great. Cyhi was great. Statik, MOTM, and Mimosa were fine, but their sets all went on way too long. I came to that show at 8 to see Wale, and he didn't come out until after 11:30. I thought I was going to a rap show, but I was treated to probably about an hour of dubstep, which doesn't seem that different in person vs. at home, except the bass was a lot louder. Which was cool. College concerts will always have very drunk crowds, which the less inebriated will happily tolerate if they are being treated to a great show. However, when you're watching Statik Selektah scratch for two minutes and then bob his head for half an hour, you appreciate the sweaty, swaying sots screaming in your ear and rubbing their man-asses all over you (I'm a dude, by the way) that much less. I felt like Wale just showed up late, and the crew told Mimosa and Statik to keep the music going while they waited for his bus to pull up. I had a great time when I wasn't really pissed off. It was a 50/50 show.
