Oh, the joy to see an artist perform on time! I must tip my hat to Tyler. About 30 minutes before Tyler took the stage, his energetic friend/DJ named Taco did a nice job as far as hyping the crowd.
Tyler arrived on stage without any formal presentation which was different than your usual DJ announcement. The young crowd went nuts.
A few minutes after making his entrance, the rapper thanked the fans (which he called assholes) for coming. Jasper, another Odd Future member was not saved either, as Tyler kept making fat jokes towards him. Typical Tyler.
During his hour and a half set, the rapper performed some of his best songs like Goblins, B**** Suck D***, Bimmer and Yonkers.
He also got kind of sentimental and even once asked the audience to feel sad once She or IFHY (I f****** hate you) came on.
It was also nice to see him perform the melancholic Answer, an opened letter to his estranged father.
I would have given a perfect score for the show if it wasn’t from the presence of talking gaps (sometimes awkward) between each songs. Although watching Tyler looking for a belt or throwing bottles at the audience was quite entertaining, I think his fans would have preferred a longer performance.
A week later, it was Future’s turn to hit the stage, this time at the Olympia venue.
Future, in my opinion has found the perfect recipe to become the new king of the charts. Here are 3 reasons why:
Selon moi, Future a trouvé la recette parfaite afin de s’établir comme le nouveau roi des palmarès. Voici trois bonnes raisons :
Number 1: He took someone’s spot while they were gone / Il a pris la place de son prédécesseur.
Before Future there was T-Pain. Not that we were too happy about the return of the auto-tune but Future kind of made it sound better. Nonetheless, the Haitian-American has both singing and rapping abilities. Sorry T.
Avant Future, il y avait T-Pain. On ne s’est pas trop réjouit du retour de l’auto-tune. Il faut quand même admettre que Future l’a rendu plus hot. En plus, le chanteur d’origine haïtienne sait chanter et rappel.
Number 2: He stays in the limelight/ Son nom fait souvent les manchettes.
Whether it’s rumoured beef with Drake,Rich Homie Quan or his tumultuous relationships with one of his baby mamas (excluding newcomer Ciara), the rapper knows a thing or two about getting good and bad press.
Malgré des conflits entre lui et Drake, Rich Homie Quan ou avec l’une des mères de ses enfants (excluons la chanteuse Ciara), Future sait très bien comment faire parler de lui.
Number 3: Future has collaborated with everyone…almost / Future a collaboré avec tout le monde…enfin presque
Amongst the many artists he collaborated with (aka everyone), the Atlanta rapper also penned numerous hit songs like Rihanna’s
Loveeeeeee Song and even created the melody for Beyoncé’s Drunk in Love.
Parmi les artistes avec qui il a collaboré, le chanteur d’Atlanta a écrit plusieurs titres populaires comme Loveeeeeee Song de Rihanna. Il a même créer la mélodie de Drunk in Love de Beyoncé.
Having seen an energetic Future during Drake’s last concert, I’m pretty sure the show will be money worthy.
Now prepare yourself to see a lot of dreadlocks shaking and a lot of leather pants.
Après avoir vu Future au dernier concert de Drake, cette prestation en vaudra la peine.
Attendez-vous à voir des cheveux secouer un peu partout… et beaucoup de cuir.

See you there! À bientôt !
The first time I saw UGK on tv was when Jay Z’s ”Big Pimpin” first played on Musique Plus. Even though Bun and the late Pimp C released their first independent album in 1988, it is fair to say that being in a Jay Z video gave these two southern gentlemen a great exposure who would eventually make them popular in the East Coast. Even after the tragic death of his longtime partner in crime in 2007, the big bearded man still continued to do music. Having collaborated with big shots like Jeezy, Rick Ross or Gucci Mane, Bun B clearly has nothing to prove to all you suckas. That’s what he would say.
Since 2005, he released the ”Trill” compilations which could be a short term for too real. his last effort, Trill O.G. has had a great success over North America and has helped the rapper put Texas back on the map after the ”Chamillionaire, Mike Jones and Paul Wall early 2000s era.
If you are not busy tonight, come see this southern legend at Cabaret Underworld. It is rare in Montreal to see a southern rapper grace the stage. So twenty-five dollars is a pretty cheap price to see such an influential rapper.
Quick Info
Who: Bun B, well known member of Texas rap group UGK (also performing ThugLi,Montrilla and Grandbuda)
When: Tuesday May 6th around 9pm
Where: Cabaret Underworld (1403, Saint-Elisabeth Street near Sainte-Catherine E)
How Much: around 20$ to 25$ (Tix available at Off the Hook, Moog, Empire or at Cabaret Underworld)
You should attend if: You want to take a break from the East coast music a little bit. If you know how to keep it TRILL.
See you there !
Did you know Ghostface Killah and Charli Baltimore (Murder Inc) made a song together? Here’s a throwback video of Killah looking a bit thirsty towards the redhead rapper.
Oh yes, you can still get tickets at the door. See you at Le Belmont (corner St-Laurent & Mont-Royal)!
How ironic is this title for a man who lately hasn’t been able to keep his mouth shut.
Oh Yeezus.
