Updated 2/22/08! You should reread it because I added a lot of things and corrected my 5AM lack of grammar.
On Friday, Ludacris came to my school for a concert and I only went because the school paid for me to stand around and do nothing work with security, otherwise I absolutely would not have spent a dime on this trash. (Actually, I expect to be paid back with a usurious amount of interest on that $30 – if you haven’t noticed, the economy has gone to shit and I need money, and FUSA has a habit of not paying concert workers back until around May). In economics terms, the opportunity cost would be forgoing my usual Friday night activities for a free ticket (Mineskies would be so proud that I used EC11 material on my blog). Well let me tell you, it pretty much spoiled my night. Not only did Luda show up excessively late (yes, I understand concerts are usually not on time – that’s normal, but this was extreme), his performance lasted a whopping 55 minutes to an hour. You know what else is crap? The school paid $85,000 out of their $33,000 concert budget to pay for an asshole to throw the microphone down after less than an hour, insult the audience (many of whom enjoyed it and cheered) and run out to go to the NBA all star game. I wasn’t even paying attention to the concert that much because it was so much more entertaining to watch drunk, scantily-clad freshmen trip down the bleachers and puke in garbage cans. All of a sudden, I looked up and wondered why people were storming towards the exits. Someone from Bridgeport did not pull out an automatic and shot the place up, as we all assumed, but Luda ended the concert so nonchalantly, I did not notice. Compare that to the pyrotechnic finale at a Trans-Siberian Orchestra Concert… JEEEEZ.
The concert was one of the most pointless, stupidest things I have ever seen in my life. Ludacris used like 4 words/ phrases the entire time. All he did was call all of the girls there hos (many of whom probably are, but that’s beside the point). The fact that the whole place was screaming every time he called them hos was sickening. Some key phrases of the night included: “You’s a ho” and “Where all my weed smokers at,” “hold up yo lighters,” “fuck dat side,” and “when I move you move.” Let me tell you something? I don’t give a shit when you move, I’ll move when I damn well please, not when you tell me to. Okay, maybe I’m being just a bit too harsh – it’s only a song spoken, DJ’d talentless piece of crap.
This guy is so full of shit it’s not even funny. First he asks the crowd who is broke, and most people (being college students in need of money) scream. A few minutes later, he continues on with some lyrics “If you ain’t got no money take your broke ass home.” Well, everyone should have just walked out, because that was just pointless. But apparently, in order to get anywhere in this society, you need status and money. It’s so awful. This is why there are very few good people left because of this trash.
