Meh. At least he was energetic. Sounds like the shit between his setlist was the hypest part. I'm too much of a nitpicker about artists and songs they're willing to perform live. He literally goes to the same 20 fuckin' songs that are the most popular and span across the duration of his lengthily-tenured and illustrious career. You have over 5,000 songs in your catalog, fam. A whole fucking music library for Your Average Joe is what makes up your archival "AND" contemporary percentage/portions of your creative oeuvre. I'm so aggravated that he's still so linearly-predictable at this point in his career. Thank God Rock Musicians don't do that shit. You won't see Robert Plant performing Whole Lotta Love or Rock 'n' Roll or Ramble On, just to appease his casual Led Zeppelin fans.
His live shows, from what I've heard, and can tell from viewing Youtube Video Uploads of Them, he's fearlessly unpredictable. Veterans of Rap/Hip-Hop could use some borrowing of his live performance execution logistics and methodology. Hell, even Wiz will go so far back in his catalog's archives and ("Digitally Dig In His Own Contemporary "AND" Archival Crates, so to speak.") pull up a damn obscure gem from 11 years ago called "Who I Am" and he still performs that shit live. I love that shit. I'd rather attend and Wiz Khalifa show than a Lil Wayne show, any day. Wayne is probably my favorite studio hip-hop act/artist/persona though. I don't think that'll change any time soon. But live, he resorts to the same shit. He's The John Cena of Live Rap Performance, and even that's kind of an insult to John Cena. More like Hulk Hogan. *Shudders*
