First Hip Hop Concert

I attended my first hip hop concert this past Tuesday (24). I never hang out or go out during the week day because I either have school or work in the morning. But, I decided that I needed a change of scenery. I figured that I need to do something different. Also, my friend was performing so I wanted to go and support them.


When I walked in there were not that many people there. I sat at the bar. I minded my own business. Then out nowhere this man just strikes up a conversation with me. I knew that this would happen. It almost always does when I am by myself. I was not interested in this man, to say the least. But it was nice to have male attention to some degree. He was friendly. So we talked. He really wanted to talk though lol I could tell that some of what he was saying were lies though, but I remained lady-like. I played the naive quiet role. It was all in good fun.  It is a nice little hang out spot. I will probably go back there to write, while I have my favorite drink. La Sex on the beach lol  


They (the people hosting the event) did not start on time. But of course at functions like that, they start on "black people" time (hahha) but I was not disturbed or annoyed by this discovery. 


When they finally started I was not really into it. I sat there sipping on my drink. I looked around. But, I didn't really feel any passion for what was going on. Until one MC got on the stage and started speaking a truth that I could identify with. There are a lot of fucked up things going on in this world. Some of these things THE PEOPLE have control over, but THE PEOPLE don't seem to care that much about. Others of these things corporate world only has the power to change. And that's life. One big power play. Who can step on who to get on top and stay there.


While one of the MC's were performing I made sure to glance in my friend's direction every now and then. I wanted to observe him in his "zone." Music is his life. Hip Hop and Rap is his first love. But while I was glancing back and forth, trying not to be obvious... I noticed my first Groupie. Yes, that is exactly what she was. She was that girl that shows up to the concerts and hangs out with the artist that is performing that night. She is that girl that wears tight clothes, that clearly she shouldn't be wearing. She is that girl that sits next to the artist, while they are engaged in what is going on, but she clearly has no passion for what they have a passion for. She just wants to be in the spotlight. She just wants to have sex with him. She just wants whatever "fame" she thinks she might get. But she has no interest in learning about his heart: His music. 


I made sure that I had a good time, despite me noticing how she was sickly dripping all over him. You would have thought that he had money glued to his ass, the way she was up under him. It was sicking, to say the least and I wanted to walk over and start something. You know challenge her a bit. Show her that she was just another open leg policy and nothing much. But instead, I focused on the music. And I focused on supporting my friend when it was time for him to perform.


I think it sad when women throw themselves at a man like that. It was very obvious that he was only partially into her. But, I guess that's what builds an MC's ego to have some girl or girls drooling over them like that. 


I sat in the front, when it was my friend's turn to perform. I made sure that I was completely engaged and jamming along. I didn't really give his groupie friend much attention after that. I knew my self worth and it showed very well. I turned heads. I stopped heart beats when I stood and walked. After his performance I went to find him kissed him on the cheek and told him that he did good. I was very proud of him. It was so nice to be apart of music in general. But, it was even better because I knew how hard he worked to make that event happen and to put his music together.
