The Real Award Tour

November 24, 2008 was one of the best moments of my life. I was already hype about this event days before. Usually my plans are never fully executed the way I would like them to be. But this was (maybe because I didn't plan it myself). The line to get in wasn't even long, but we did get there rather early. Once we got in, we had to wait for at least an hour. They were running on CP time. But it was cool, aside from some hippie chick dancing sleezy in the corner right next to me. Finally, they began to introduce Janelle Monae. Somehow, Adrian and I inched our way up to the front. Of course her performance was phenomenal. She is so hype and her passion for what she does inspires me to continue my dreams. She lowered herself off the stage and danced in the crowd. I happened to be one of the lucky individuals dancing alongside. Then came The Cool Kids. I guess I'm not cool because I didn't know any of the words. I'm not really up on them anymore. But, I can say they gave an awesome performance as well, especially for hip-hop artists. Their new songs are hot! You should check up on them (sorry, I do not know the names to the songs. If you do, HOLLA!). Everybody was vibing with them, and out of nowhere came some drunk girl dancing extremely close to me, pretending to know every word. What a mess. I saw her leave and I'm glad she didn't drive home. Praise! Finally, what we were ALL waiting for, The Renaissance himself. Words can't even describe the feeling of seeing such a pioneer in the industry that close to you. I'm not a star struck individual, but I felt elated. New tunes or classic hits, this guy can put on a show. His sweat was dripping on Adrian (lol). Believe it or not, for at least a good minute, he rapped while looking DEAD at me, no lie. HA HA. Overall, I enjoyed the experience. If you were there, you had that overwhelming feeling too.
