you're one of those white guys that likes to look into everything he can from different cultures all over the world, especially because your own is either hard to define or unpalatable to you. I call you 'tony bourdains'.

pretty close! i had that american-irish angle growing up (you play it up here like you're from kyrpton cause whites are actually a minority in these areas), but you know full well most of what i wanna do is travel the earth in search of adventure like Caine from kung fu the legend, so this makes you a loose 4 for 4, not bad man

So its 7.10am, im in college cause i got an exam in 2.5 hours.

Sitting here in an empty 200 person lecture hall with my ipod running through the PA system. Cashmere Thoughts by Jay sounds so much better this way.

This may sound weird but I love going to concerts alone.

If you go with friends and they don't love the artist as much as you, you feel this awkward responsibility or obligation to curb your enthusiasm. This happens, and you're standing around trying to explain and make excuses as to why the artist isn't connecting with them, basically bending over, ass up, trying to justify why THEY aren't enjoy it and killing your enjoyment because your friend is emotionally raping you over a $20 ticket. That emotional burden ain't worth the company.

If you go with a girl, and the concert is turnt up (which it always is if I am there), then you have to either protect her or stand in the back, or grind on her to some shit that isn't fitting the mood. This is the worst situation because it's either pussy or going HAM for the artist you've been waiting to see. Having had this happen to me when Cudi came to my school last year, and my ex having no idea who the fuck he was, I couldn't even get a little turnt up. Not even a little bit. What a goddamn shame that was for me (not really it was only Cudi) but awkwardly dancing and grinding with her drunkenly to Cudi for two hours was probably the worst way that concert could've gone.

Or you go with friends and end up getting lost from them because you're getting ratchet, and now you feel obligated to find them and reconnect temporarily between songs. This has happened to me, and is the BEST situation you can have with friends at concerts.

But if you go by yourself, what usually happens?

You go in mad awkward, you smoke or drink, you go HAM, you USUALLY end up bonding with the people around you who all want to be there as much as you for the same reasons, and you have fun.

I went to a shit ton of concerts the last couple of months, with friends of all varieties and by myself, and the best experience I had was going to a concert where I only knew one band on the bill and I was by myself.

I get where you coming from, but most concerts i go to theres usually a group of us and were all into rap so we all stay together and enjoy that shit.

Brought my ex to a Wu show maybe 3 or 4 years ago. Worst concert experience ever. She had to piss like 3 songs in. We were right at the front so had to leave that spot. Wasnt anyway of getting back there so spent the rest of the show at the back. Only benefit was being close to the bar and not giving a fuck about losing the front spot so we just drank the whole night.

Although in thinking about it, when Em was on stage everyone got seperated in the crowd. So i was alone, but so high and drunk i didnt notice. I also fucking loved it.

I think its just the thought of going alone im like nah.

Concerts by yourself is the way to go.

Fuck being social.

I would probably go with people if they liked the artist as much as I did. Never happens though. Went to a ScHoolboy Q concert last year and asked if anyone wanted to go, no one did. Fast forward to today and they're all about Q/Kendrick/TDE now.

When keepin it real goes wrong. Very, very wrong.
Everyone gets separated anyway when the chaos starts. Though it would be awkward waiting around for the music to start.

Unnecessary. It's easy to tell.

1) Listens to 90s east and west coast rap, and occasionally popular gringo midwest shit like Eminem, Ye and maybe Lupe. The important thing to note here: no southern or ignorant shit. People from the UK will absolutely avoid it like the plague. They see it as dumb. Which it is, but that's beside the point. You can also see this in other UK posters: OG Kush, Glass Rebel, Detox.

Hey! I listen to Southern stuff or trap, whatever you want to call it. Infact that was entry point into this genre

Actually I would be almost the opposite in that I think the oldest thing ive listend to was liquid swords, based purely off this threads liking of it. Other than that Id guess DOOMs various outputs and this was all after getting into it after hearing a bunch of stuff in dance music mixes.

Where in Dublin were you?? Im on the southside, in Tallaght. 3rd highest crime rate but a great place really. You enjoy it here?
Click to expand...

couldn't say at the moment, i was at a friend's place but we spent most of the time in the city proper - GPO, book of kells, university & all that, hung with some friends from another forum and had a blast.

one was a good buddy who backpacked up from cork with me (faerie forest was surreal), since i'd badmouth our piss-poor ameircan guinness he had me hold off till dublin, now im sad i'll not have a pint like that for a while to come.

shooting to take my annual trip to japan in the spring if i can get enough time off, i did mostly eastern europe last year so i'm hoping to make a venture back that way when i cover the northern end, possibly 2014? i'ma hit you up though man!

you know i expected to be one of the only folks to list a Chief Keef album in the AOTY thread, but i expected somebody else to throw Dom Kennedy some love for The Yellow Album.

when it warms up yall should break it out again. it's such an upbeat, fun album.

I refute the claims that UK gafhoppers don't love that ignant shit. I relish Ace's mixes and listen in hopes of hearing new tracks that I've missed on blogs. Even my housemate has recently started listening to ignorant music, in-between his Justin Bieber and Ellie Goulding. -.-

Me and other hip-hop heads I know will listen to that shit with no damns given*. We're way past that elitist phase. Not trying to hear a message every time I hit iTunes, lol.
