I had front row tickets 2 last nights concert. I passed.

Why not go for the hell of it?





So you protestin' or something?

Actually I don't find either of them worth watching live.

You could of at least sold them.

I almost had a bowl of oatmeal this morning, but I passed.

Stymie said:

Money is NOT everything. I gave them away.

Graycap23 said:

Oh cool. Good on you.

Stymie said:

The people the used the tickets actually thought, "This is a concert of a lifetime". I damn near passed out.

Graycap23 said:

Concert of a lifetime is the Stomes at Soldier Field a year or so ago. Jay-Z? Fuck no. I like Jigga on wax but live? I wouldn't go for free either.

I've seen Jigga live: it sucked. I've seen Mary murder her own songs on t.v. so shelling out 150 bucks to see them didn't make sense to me.

Stymie said:

If they played in my backyard.....I'd leave the house 4 the day. i would not return until they left. I dig mary but live? These people need lessons....

oatmeal is good

purplebutterfly2 said:

But Jay-Z.....is NOT.

Cap you mean to tell me you didn't want to see the queen of hip hop
soul perform work that, deep inside where she sings i'm just mary 1000X
and family affair. Let's get it crunk violating,percolating. That song
is hilarious.

phunkdaddy said:

lol.....that's NOT what I call live entertainment.

These comments scare me: A post from a "fan":

If you wasn't able to experience this concert then words can't describe the enegry, excitement, and the greatness of Mary and Jay Z. One of the best concerts I have ever been apart of... If anybody gets a chance to buy tickets, I say buy them and you'll have the best time of you life. It's truly a event to mark down in history! I just wish Beyonce had made a apperance on stage! But besides that a great event!

Stymie said:

I thought you were jonesin' to see Jay Z last year?

Nuh uh.

Lies!

GangstaFam said:

Lies![/quote]I saw Jigga with 50 Cent three or so years ago. He acted like he didn't want to be bothered so I vowed not to see him again. I might of been jonesin to keep tickets but that was for my cousin Dewey.

I know at least 5 people who went for it, was it all that it was cracked up to be then? I like a lot of jay z and mary j.blige songs, but I don't think they are concert worthy

alphastreet said:

Exactly my point. I would not waste my time seeing ANY rapper live. Even the Roots bored me 2 tears live.

Graycap23 said:

yeah I am not interested in going to rap concerts at all, I prefer going to ones where I know I will get a good, entertaining show eg. janet, beyonce, madonna someday (I always miss her, but not this time)

They'll be in Dallas on Saturday. I actually thought about going and checked TM yesterday for tix. They had front row center for $250 Get tha FUCK outta here. Twice what I paid for Prince in Vegas, I think not. On the flip side, in the next two weeks Buddy Guy, Etta James AND George Clinton and P-Funk will be at House of Blues. Tix to those shows will cost half the price of going to see Jay and Mary holla on stage.

If they paid me.....I might show up, 2 hours late.

SCNDLS said:

Days before the show and they have front row seats available? Dizzam.

Stymie said:

TM ALWAYS releases floor and front row seats the week of a show. I usually wait til then to buy tix. They sell the crappy ones early and in presales.

Hip Hop hate: Just par for the course on the Org...

murph said:

Serious q. If u are NOT moved by the music or the performance, that means u are hating?

Hell, I wouldn't even have given them away because the people I gave them to would wonder what a bad ass motherfucker like me was doing with tickets to a dull ass show like that. It would look as if I was secretly a dull ass and couldn't go to the show because something came up. I wouldn't ruin my reputation, I would have thrown them away.
