Hip-hop heavyweights brought the heat to the 02 Arena with a 5 day date
for Watch the Throne.
The first stint of their European tour saw an epic 2 hour+ experience
blazing up London city.
With no opening acts, their first performance introduced what they came
to do. Rising from the ground on illuminated cubes either side of the Arena,
Kanye West and Jay Z squared up with the audience 20 ft. in to the air.
After the orchestral grand-opening, repeated bursts of flames and lasers filled the Arena and predators came onto the screen and
welcomed you into the Jungle.
West and Jay Z both wore all black and 'Ye rocked a black cone studded
T-shirt that gave me LIFE! I wanted that T-shirt! But what was
not to be missed was their big ass chains that could be seen a mile off!
As I've said before, West is a real performer and he didn't disappoint -
jumping around, arms waving off the stage - I was actually expecting him to
fall of the stage and end up crowd surfing.
Alone, and as a pair, they performed back catalogues, including All
Falls Down, Big Pimpin', IZZO and Power. 'Ye's energy is unbeatable by far, but
Jay Z's confidence was comfortable, nothing could stop the powerhouse.
"If this is
your first concert, it's all downhill from here! Ha-ha" - West
My favourite tracks performed were Who Gon' Stop Me, Otis, 99
Problems and all the Jackson interludes. I never knew how much Jay Z songs I
knew, I felt Brooklyn-born schunn - I wanted to jump on stage and rap right
next to them.
The show was unbelievable and they knew how to work the crowd,
N****ga's in Paris reloaded 6 times and each time the audience got more and
more hyped. The atmosphere was outstanding, the crowd were
hysterical and the show was SOLD OUT.
BEST HIP HOP CONCERT!
