I get to go to a great concert every year. One of this year's memorable live performances is undoubtedly the show I saw at The Under the Influence of Music Tour. The line up was great, including headliners Jeezy and Wiz Khalifa. Some other performers included DJ Drama, Mack Wilds, Ty Dolla $ign, IAMSU, Spenzo, Lil Durk, and Berner. The audience was wild, to say the least. The venue was packed. And as each artist came, the crowd seemed to be more and more hype. As I listened to Ty Dolla $ign croon, I couldn't help but notice that there was a definite build up for Wiz Khalifa's performance. But as Wiz's set went on, it was clear that the music the audience was there to hear wasn't going to be played. I came with the expectations of a Wiz Khalifa that is no longer in existence. I was craving the Kush and Orange Juice, Rolling Papers tunes; but what I heard was a bevy of poorly mimicked drill songs that will be on the Blacc Hollywood album. Though Wiz Khalifa's performance wasn't the highlight of the show, Jeezy showed up and showed out. The acoustic versions of his songs had the audiences hands up in the air.
