When I realized I recorded the entire kanye concert that my arms was hurting so I put it down and started rapping along

Bad thing is all the vids I recorded sound horrible from how loud the speakers were

Hahaha, same here, man. Just saw Nas and Lauryn Hill last night

off topic but did they perform together? I seen them both in concert some years ago but by the time lauryn showed up nas had to be halfway out the state n she was high af

Yeah, I wondered about that too before I went.

Short answer: Yes, but only one song ("If I Ruled the World") at the end.

Long answer:

Spoiler

Some rastas jammed for the opener. Then Hannibal Burress, out of nowhere, came out and did some stand up. After that, Nas went on first alone, did a set, then left (at this point, we were confused as fuck because the set wasn't very short but it was relatively short, so we just expected he was coming back). Then Lauryn came on alone, did her set with a band (Nas just had DJ Green Lantern) and back up singers, and left. Then Nas came back on a did a set with the same band and left. Then Lauryn did a set, brought Nas out, sang happy birthday to him (it was his birthday), and then they closed with If I Ruled the World.

Nas did all the classic jawns but nothing much of Life is Good or Lost Tapes. Lauryn did mostly new shit but in a different style, which was a bit weird. It was nice though.

Might be a different set up at other locations though.

Haha, but yeah, Lauryn Hill a trip, but she was alright. The way people/IC had been talking about her, I was half-expecting to regret waiting for her to show up 7 hours late wearing nothing but a diaper. That's not to say that her wardrobe choice wasn't...different.

when i seen em he did a decent amount of life is good tracks. Green lantern was there too nobody opened up for them though. He also did covers of old school songs. Lauryn literally took an hour and a half to come out a lot of ppl left or was booing. When she finally came out she was repeating hooks like 10x over even the back up dancers were stuttering thinking they were moving on to the next song. I stayed for all that bullshit though, wouldnt change a thing.

Hahaha, same here, man. Just saw Nas and Lauryn Hill last night, and at some point recording some Nas songs, a sudden wave of stupidity hit me when I realized that I was watching more of the show through my phone, yet I was sitting right there in the front seats. And my arm was aching like a bitch.

Needless to say, a nigga felt stupid. Maybe it's my OCD. I like the couple-of-a-pics-and-one-video-unless-some-wild-shit-pops-off plan better.

You mean you saw Nas.

I love taking pictures. One picture says a thousand words.

I love getting candid photos of my loved ones when they're not paying attention.

I love that my mother has albums full of photos that will eventually become mine and I plan on having the same for my daughter.

I'm not big on recording everything though. I prefer pictures.

Hahaha, fair enough. +1 respect, but fuck you too.

Just for clarification purposes for niggas not in the know: I neither love nor hate Trump. Never voted for him, never will. I just simply think he's not the Antichrist like some of you drama queens do.

I used to try to record my son's soccer games but gave that shit up a couple years ago. I always ended up recording nothing cause I start watching without the phone anyway.

Now I put that shit away for all such occasions and don't even try. Might snap a quick pic or vid, but no more than a few seconds.

And we all love your pictures as well... preferably the pics you take when you're drunk, high, and lonely.

I've never understood recording at concerts. Like it's just blurry and sounds like shit

To add on to this, what's even dumber is when people put the video on Facebook or IG... If I wanted to watch a live performance of that band I could just watch a professionally done video on YouTube where I can actually make out the faces of the band members and hear the music.
