So after the show at Hyde park we went back to Kiss, waited for Sister nANCY to do her make up and then we were out. The after party was on the 30th floor of the Center Point builing and the view was breathtaking. This was defiantly the hottest, after party all year, and if your name wasn't down on the list you wernt getting in. I must have had about 30 texts from friends trying to get into this party but it wasnt happening..
A-cyde and Reg, kicked it off lovely. The club was plush with amazing views, but you had to take a lift to get there (which only held 10 people at a time. The drinks were following and before you new it the whole place was ram. Mr hudson, and Kanye West performed Paranoid live, which is my favorite joint off 808's and Heartbreaks, then Q-tip stepped up and SMASHED it on the decks, playing classic after classic. Then Kanye,Hudson, Kid Cudi, and Young Jeezy were all around a grand piano whilst doing Frank Sinatra style versions of there tunes, funny, but amazing to watch. Harry Love came on and smashed it, whilst Serena Williams was getting down to some Funky House courtesy of Scottie B. Check out the video footage and the pics of the night.
So yesterday i went to check out Wireless and do some bits for Kiss whilst i was there. Really it was all about 2 people. Q-tip and Kanye West. Q-tip stepped up and tore the place down. His set was really tight,full of energy, enthusiasm, and showmanship. You could blatantly tell that the crowd didnt really know who he was, but they were getting down none the less.
Then it was Kanye time. This was probably and i hate to say this, the weakest show i ve seen him do. For the glow in the dark tour, this set list would of been perfect, but for a hype festival with 25,000 people wanting to go crazy it didn't always work. Way too many ballads when he should of been getting it uptempo. At times people in the crowd (including myself) were just bored,but then he came back with Stronger, Gold digger and saved himself. Kanye s interaction with the crowd was disappointing too. He didn't really walk out of his own little stage within a stage area, and took himself way too seriously with 4 woman painted in gold worshiping him at his feet, and it was almost like watching someone doing an impersonation of what they thought a pop star was supposed to act like.....KANYE MADE UP FOR IT AT THE AFTER PARTY THO!!
