Curren$y performs in Atlanta/I meet Curren$y
For those who don't know, Atlanta hosted/is still hosting their yearly hip hop festival this weekend. The festival is known as the "A3C Hip Hop Festival." It features 150+ artists at 33 different events. Friday night at "The Five Spot" in little five points, my favorite artist in the game, Curren$y peformed. He was the second to last act of the night.
The show featured a number of "up and comers." Me and my dude Jamal became cool with one of the acts that performed before Curren$y. Dude's name was "Mike Terror." Him and his dj rolled around Atlanta with us before the show. Shit was completely random, but it was cool as hell.
Anyway, Spitta hit the stage around 1:30. As soon as he hopped on stage, I knew the shit was gonna be epic.
Spitta rapped all the faves. "Spit Vicious", "Blown Away", and "Modern day Hippie" just to name a few. He even rapped a few tracks from his mixtape with Wiz Kalifah, How Fly. The whole concert, I was standing above the crowd as I rapped to every track that he performed.
After he finished his performance, he left the stage. I was just chillin waitin on Jamal so we could roll out.
All the sudden I see Curren$y coming towards me. I was hoping I'd get the chance to dap him up and say good show.
I noticed as some other people were trying to talk to him, but he really wasn't payin attention to them. He pointed at me and said, "Im tryna holla at that nigga right there."
Dude comes up to me, daps me up, and says, "I do this shit for you." That shit was the cap to an amazing night.
That's why he's the fave. Not many artists do that these days. In all the commotion of mainstream rap, artists tend to lose that true connection with their fans. This dude peeped me in the crowd as a dedicated fan during his show, and then found me after just to let me know he peeped the dedication.
Shouts out to Curren$y for an amazing show. I was salty as hell though because my phone AND camera died so I didn't get a pic. But its all good. That surely won't be the last time I see Spitta live. Next time a pic will definitely be taken.
