Last night was opening night in Scranton, PA for Lil Wayne�s new tour, and MTV news was there to catch all the action. Check out this blog we found about how the fans overtook a small rural town for opening night of the tour. Let us know what you think in the comments, and stay tuned for (pictures and video�s coming soon).
SCRANTON, Pennsylvania � On our way to the Toyota Pavilion, we couldn�t help but notice the chaos that had arrived on the once-sleepy Davis Street. Just 24 hours earlier, the strip was so quiet that the only thing noticeable was a deer in plain view. But now, there was bumper-to-bumper traffic and police escorting the growing number of cars.
What�s all the fuss about, you ask? Fans are making their way to the Toyota Pavilion to watch some of hip-hop�s finest, including Lil Wayne, Drake, Young Jeezy and many more, on Young Money Presents: The America�s Most Wanted Music Festival.
�We came to see Weezy and Soulja Boy,� said Mary Kate, who drove two hours from Philadelphia with three friends. �If I gotta pick one, then it has to be Weezy. My favorite song is [Young Money's] �Every Girl,� featuring Drake.�
But were the fans more excited about the show or when they caught a glimpse of our driver? �Holy s�, is that Sway from MTV?� said an amazed Lil Wayne fan as me and my partner Shaheem were caught in traffic with Sway at the wheel.

Pulling up to the venue�s parking lot, I was met by three young men who were drinking beer and listening to Young Jeezy�s �My President.� I kindly asked, �Who are you here to see?� They responded: �Weezy, man.� You�d never know it, with Young blasting from their car-stereo speakers.
As we made our way to the backstage area, we were completely mobbed by fans who couldn�t believe they were in Sway�s presence. Proof is in the photo at right.
And just like that, it�s showtime. We just left Soulja Boy, who hit the stage and invited us back to hear some new music from his upcoming album, The DeAndre Way. �I got a studio on my tour bus,� SB said. �50 Cent gave me that as a gift.�
