Yeah it's the almighty chart topper and Urban superstar Eminem. Not a lot could be said last night for Lil Wayne's dreadful performance and his full set of hoochie dancers who were so not appropriate for the 12 year old screaming girls in front of me.
So as I finally got into the Roosters home ground and venue definitely not suitable for large numbers of people and large numbers of young teenage brats I hear the tail end of what probably was a great set for Adelaide's own Hilltop Hoods, who's new album is set to feature SIA and come out late summer 2012.
Lil Wayne really was a horrid intro to the night with all his songs sounding the same and slightly in good need of some auto tune action. I really wish the young people would enjoy more sensible music in the year 2012.
Now other than the nightmare and drama of getting in and around the large half full venue there was the cold and wet weather to contend with, clearly some people though denim underwear was on the menu on a night where it was never going to reach 20 degrees.
My highlight early on was seeing the Big Brother contestant who turkey slapped a female housemate. What a title to carry.
So now after my social commentary and my observations of the Mt Druitt types attending it's onto the main man and a man who has dominated charts for a lot of my adult life.
He has had serious hits "Stan", almost parody moments "Real Slim Shadey" and "Just Lose it" and then their is the encore and soundtrack number "Lose Yourself".
His set was varied and thick and fast, he covered a lot of his back catalogue with almost a mix tape approach just keeping the tunes bangin out and the samples flying. His recent hits were big with the 12 year olds but it was his old magic that gained him his current status and past fame (pre rehab).
Enimen would have been grand if his sound was better and his interaction with the crowd had been present. After seeing Dolly (another international mega star) this failed to hit the mark with me.
2 cold and wet stars.
