Biggest regret: not going to the Up In Smoke Tour when I had the chance. It literally came within a half hour of my house back in 2000. I turned 16 right before the concert and didn't have my license yet. My parents refused to let me attend it so I had no way to get there.

Worst experience: I went to a Machine Gun Kelly concert last year. It was near Pittsburgh. Five hours away from my house. Drove all the way there, sat through all the opening acts, then came to find out that MGK had cancelled his appearance and wouldn't be there. I was beyond furious, demanded a refund and never got one. A total of 10 hours of driving and burned a sick day at work for that s---. Definitely one of the most f----- up things that's ever happened to me.

Best concert I ever went to was the up in smoke tour. Incredible lineup.

Worst concert I went to was rittz last year. Venue was a shithole in one of the worst areas of detroit. Rittz didn't come on stage till almost midnight. The venue had no air conditioning and it was the middle of summer. Literally sat around for 3 hours roasting before he came in stage

A few-
Seeing Eminem at Lollapalooza in 2011 was the very definition of not f---ing worth it. Got there early as f--- and stayed at that stage all day watching whatever s-----y acts they had on, suffered through the Cee Lo opener, and Eminem comes out with all of the worst of the worst Recovery and BME garbage you could imagine. I guess I'm glad I saw him live since I was such a huge fan when he was good, but sitting in the hot sun all day at this s-----y stage to see an average show was disappointing.

I also missed the Yeezus tour last year. I had a ticket for Chicago, ended up having to travel to DC for work on the day of the show so I got a partial refund on the ticket, then found out that the show had been rescheduled due to a tour bus crash or something and I could have gone anyways. Of course it was sold out by the time I found out.

I went to see Snoop in either late 2009/early 2010 when I was living in Chicago for his Wonderland tour. Bizarre was an opening act, and was incredibly bad, Snoop was one of the worst live performances I've ever seen. Only thing that saved it was that m--- and Red were the final opening act and they put on one of the best shows I've ever seen.

Saw Busta Rhymes at the House of Blues in 2009, was horrible, he couldn't even manage to do an entire verse of Break Ya Neck, really annoying crowd, one guy just kept screaming GIMME SOME MORE over and over the entire show.

Saw Immortal Technique in NYC in late 2008/early 2009 and it was pretty bad, spent more time talking about the Black Pope than performing, was pretty funny to see him up on stage with a huge HOT 97 banner while he performs Freedom of Speech.

One minor regret is that I saw Kanye's MBDTF tour at Summerfest in Milwaukee, had great seats, show was incredible but I had a bit too much to drink so I don't have a lot of memories of it.

My one and only concert regret is Trigga Trey

This was at a time where he was only starting to reach true fame. I had been a stan of his since 2006, but he only 'really' blew up in 2009/2010. Now mind you, trey always had women screaming for him from day, but during this 2009'ish period and well, even up to now, it just got out of control and noticeably got to his head.

I expected him to put on a show because the dude can SING! He's got a plethora of joints that show his depth - I had witnessed this from the youtube clips I watched over the years. However, my expectations slowly began to dissipate inevitably to what I had to bear for an hour and a half- a grown a--- man strip and grind infront of me, an hour and a half of a man strip infront of me, I drove 100+ miles and paid money to watch a man STRIP and GRIND infront of me. It was MAD awkward, I looked around and you could tell all the other fellas felt the same way.





Most dudes probably tagged along as their female partners wanted to see trey, but I had been a long-time supporter, he barely sung any songs and just stripped for the majority of the show. Everything was just catered to the woman, 'how ya'll doin ladies', 'this one for my women out there', 'ladies SCREAMMMMMMM', it was like every dude that paid a ticket didn't exist. I was like 'I've been your biggest stan for years and you don't even show love, and now you f---ing with these bandwagon b------s' [No h---].


It got to a point where he was gesturing the actions of finger-banging a girl on stage, and I can't describe how loud girls were screaming, like sound barrier breaking loud, they were throwing drawers/bra's on the stage, trying to climb the barriers/push each other. I think a few females got hurt if I recall correctly.

I was with one of my boys who was a big fan, and a girl I was intimate with at the time - she loved the show, but me and my mate were pissed off and grew further away from trey's music overtime; it's just never been the same relationship .

This is what I was expecting






But this is what I got

Busta Rhymes - Not so much Busta himself but the situation...He was very entertaining and awesome. However, paid extra for the VIP tickets to get a chance to meet him. In the VIP section a few fans got into a fight started throwing bottles (this was in a bigger club not a stadium). They ended up closing down the meet with Busta because of the fight breaking out. VIP tickets were twice the cost of regular tickets. VIP section was above on a balcony where it was taped off for Busta and such to come back to. Regular tickets were ground floor in front of the stage.

Regrets: Not seeing Kanye West during the graduation tour. Not seeing the Weeknd when he came here.

I also gotta add, the worst concert I ever added was a Fabolous and Fat Joe concert last year. I paid $125 for VIP tickets with a meet and greet. The meet and greet never happened. The concert was about 3 hours long and about 2.5 hours of it was just standing in the crowd watching the DJ spin "waiting" for the artists to come out. Fat Joe was okay but Fab's setlist was atrocious. I own all of his albums and he literally did not perform one song from any of them. Must've been all recent mixtape s---. I didn't know one song he did. On top of that, Bobby Shmurda was supposed to be the opening act and he got arrested right before the show and didn't attend. Just an overall nightmare experience and waste of money.
