get 'em high

now let's get this clear...it has been one week (short time) since kanye's mom died after having plastic surgery. and let's get this point even clearer - kanye's best friend was his mom.
yet he still performed.
i think he's my hero.
well, jay still might get that title.
my friend jamie didn't believe me when i said he was still gonna perform. he was convinced that common would do the whole two hours. rubbish, i said. kanye will be here. kanye would not sell out to his fans - he would just cancel if he had to. we would understand - his best friend just passed.
but he came and put on an AMAZING show! the energy was CRAZYYYYYY! he had a whole band with him, string instruments, backup singers, dj, the works. no tigers or fireworks, as i had predicted, though.
common was great. i generally am biased against common, as i definitely met him and didn't realize who he was and more or less told him to go fuck himself, as i, too, am common. hahahaha. but he rocked. ill even include a link for his video.

i haven't quite decided what my favorite song from last night was. i didn't throw out an arm this down, but sista got down, yo. 'get em high' is def one of my favorite songs and it was the first really really crazy song he did, so i went bizzerk. and 'through the wire,' im sorry, but i don't think that there are better lyrics out there than, "i drink a boost for breakfast, an ensure for dizzert/somebody orders pancakes, i only sip the sizzurp."
the crowd was definitely french. and i mean this in every nice way. except for the fact that most of them only know kanye's newer stuff (really a shame, though, the college dropout is just so good!) jamie and i got down so hard, the people next to us were definitely like, 'what the fuck are they doing? and where did they come from?' haha, there was this big thuggish french guy by me (probably from my neighborhood, actually) and he must have been wondering who this rapping white girl was next to him.
kanye pulled off a great show. he paid tribute to his mom towards the end of the show. th
e music for 'hey mama' came on and a video was put up with a donda west-type angel woman. kanye broke down. he didn't sing at all on that song. the two backup singers and three people from the band came down and talked to him. he walked off for a few minutes. then they sang 'don't stop believing' by journey, dedicated to his mom. i wanted to cry. i actually started tearing up. he is tough, man, and put on a great show despite the circumstances.jamie bought me a pretty baller kanye shirt. maybe ill find someone to wear over it at work. great great show. oh, and i have managed to get two very large bruises on my calves from jumping up and down so much and rubbing into my chair.
the price a girl will pay for good music.
