I have decided that April has been one of the best weeks of my life. So far I've had three of the greatest experiences of my senior year. 1. Prom 2. Sen10r Day and 3. Drake's Concert. My friends Kendra Tubman & Suzanne Ozturk & I all headed to Furman University in South Carolina for Drake's concert on Thursday April 22. This sounds lame but I re
ally enjoyed the car ride up to FU (lol). We drove through McCormick, SC and I got to see parts of SC which I've never seen before. With the exception of a little trouble with directions when we reached the city of Greenville, we had a smoothe ride to the concert complete with corny jokes from Suzanne's mom :) When we reached Greenville we stopped at McDonald's and jumped into line so that we'd be in the front of the concert. For those of you who don't know, me & Drake are gonna get married. We're meant to be. So best believe we were in the third row of the concert on the floor of the venue. I must admit that initially I had misgivings about this concert. Since Drake doesn't have an official album, I wasn't quite sure what songs he would perform. Plus, almost all of his songs have Wayne in them, who unfortunately is in jail (oh well lol). On top of that it took Drake a whopping two hours to get his fine behind onto stage. This weird band whose lead singer had more hair spray than a cheerleader and more hair volume than a model opened for an hour. The lead singer kept thrusting in the air & literally no one at the concert knew who he was lol. Then K-OS, an alternative rapper, performed for another hour. He was pretty great. Now I must admit that after two hours I was a little upset. I felt like I had wasted my money on this concert. However, all my anger quickly disappeared when Drake stepped onto the stage. I mean he is cute in his photos, but he is GORGEOUS live. He has the best smile ever. He perfor
med all of his famous songs (Houstalantavegas, Best I Ever Had, FireWorks, Fear, Say Something) and he also performed his part from other songs (Throw It In the Bag Remix, Bedrock-which he did an amazing bed rock dance to lol, Uptown, Invented Sex, Successful etc). Then he told the crowd that since Weezy was in jail, all he could do was listen to Hot 97 radio station. So the crowd sang I'm Goin In which was recorded and played on hot 97. Basically the concert was amazing. Then Drake said he would call up a fan onstage & he called up this one girl. How about he started kissing her cheek & neck & rubbed her arms. Basically me & my friends were extremely jealous lol. We vowed that we would keep going to Drake concerts until he called one of us onstage lol. What I liked most about the concert was that Drake really interacts with his audience. Unlike Incubus, whom I saw earlier in the year, Drake talked to the audience constantly. He would say things like, "Fear is my favorite song that I've ever written & I hope yall enjoy it" and he constantly thanked us for coming out to the concert. Then he had a shout out session, during which the spotlight landed on different members of the audience & Drake commented on their appearane. For ex, there were two girls dressed alike and Drake was like, "Are yall twins? I like yall's dresses." Then this one guy was holding his girlfriend up & Drake asked, "Is that your gf?" The guy just kept pointing at his gf & Drake asked,"Well dang are you trying to give her away to me. That's sorta F'ed up." Lol. I took so many pictures and videos that my arms were sore. I took videos on my camera, my phone & my i-pod. Basically Drake's concert was wonderful!!!! After the concert we hopped back into the car & headed back for Augusta. Suzanne decided to play some of her Drake songs for her mother & her mom asked, "Why does he keep saying the N-word?" Lol. I will definitely be heading back to more Drake concerts.
Peace & Love
