To the Sun....

So, it's Thursday. And...we haven't really updated on how the concert when. BUT pics have FINALLY been uploaded. (Thanks G) And here it is.

The concert was great. We lagged it big time to get there but we still had some sick seats...ummm standing spots?... The show opened with Chester French. Funny how the crowd was all ready, thinking that it was gonna be N.E.R.D. But to the crowds dismay, it was just Chester. Surprisingly, the group wasn't that bad. I didn't mind listening to them. Maybe it was just the fact I was really really ready for N.E.R.D to perform took away from the performance. But in retrospect, they weren't bad at all. I'd give them another listen...maybe not buy an album...but give it another listen. haha.

As for N.E.R.D? Nothing short of DOPE. The crowed was wild...(WHAT UP KRAIG?) They opened up with Anti-Matter and kept on rolling. AND YES they did throw Run to the Sun into the mix. (checks off life goal list)

Common was just as nice. Random white dude with no rhythm aside, I actually liked some of Common's new stuff. Like "The Eye" and "Gladiator". I really wasn't sure how I would feel about his new material. Even with the majority of them being produced by the Neptunes, I wasn't fully convinced that they'd be nice. But, I liked a few. I still can't get over the fact that Common says "yeah yeah i philosophize on top of 'ya" Oh well, I'll have to listen to the rest of the CD before I can say anything about his new stuff.

Now, on to the PICS!!

Everyone Nose Remix

So, N.E.R.D is currently on tour with Kanye West and Lupe Fiasco. On the tour, they've been performing the new single, "Everyone Nose", off of their new album, "Seeing Sounds". While on tour, I guess they have found the time to record a new remix for the song, featuring Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Pusha T of the Clipse. And the end result is a massive collaboration, much different from the original version. Although, many would say that this song contains all the elements to make it a Child Rebel Soldiers (CRS) song, the three(Kanye, Pharrell, Lupe) haven't said anything stating that this is a CRS song. Here it is the "Everyone Nose" Remix feat. Kanye, Lupe, and Pusha T.

Review: Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour

Sorry for the lack of updates, it's been a hectic week for all of us here at the Thai Tea Theory. But luckily, I was able to attend Kanye West's Glow in the Dark Tour. The show features performances from some of my favorite musical artists out there. Kanye? N.E.R.D? Lupe Fiasco?...I could care less about Rihanna. The show was amazing. It started out with Lupe Fiasco as the opening act, followed by N.E.R.D and Rihanna, and closing out with Kanye.

Summary: Lupe came out with a lot of energy, performing some of my favorite songs, including "Paris, Tokyo", one of my favorite songs of the moment. N.E.R.D was able to carry on with the Lupe's energy and really got the crowd hyped up, performing a few songs off of their new upcoming album, "N.3.R.D." I loved the performance but really wished that they would have performed "Run to the Sun". That would have made my night. I'm not really a big fan of Rihanna so...I took a bathroom break and made some phone calls during her set. haha but I was able to stick around and watch a bit of her performance. It was ok, like I said, I'm not really a fan of her work. When Kanye came out to perform, the crowd went nuts. 'Ye performed for a good hour and a half straight across a huge transforming stage filled with lights and effects. I really enjoyed watching Kanye perform. He was able to perform all of my favorite songs from his new, and old albums. It all capped off with Lupe and Kanye performing "Touch t he Sky" in the end.


Overall, I loved the show, I could do without Rihanna, but you gotta take the good with the bad right? If you can find tickets, I suggest you go. It's a bit pricey but I thought that it was well worth it. Ehhh, couldn't leave without a $40 N.E.R.D shirt...
