The crowd was unexpectedly HYPE , but expectedly annoying. Put it this way, you don't wanna fuck with philly girls.... Felt like all of the south philly, NE philly and kensington was there in drunk ass fashion and sloppy.
Also, that 5 minute rain song from ashanti was cringe worthy at best, and the hype man and back up dancer re-creating a domestic violence scene behind ashanti for the entire song while images of BTM and president obama on the screen were nothing short of short-sighted and slightly ignorant. I left shortly after that. I really wanted to stick it out for 'Always on Time" but just couldn't take any more. I was at my limit at 45 minutes.
They got everyone in the building knowing all the lyrics to all the songs, so just tighten up your money grab show a bit.. leave out popular social warrior politics that don't feel like you thought through enough to project and just go out and perform your shit.
Vocals were hit or miss. Ashanti was reaching for those notes (I remember okp roasting her forever re: lack of singing talent). Ja sounded better overall but his voice is, well you know.
shit was novelty for sure, so nothing here too surprising.
