Juicy J & A$AP Ferg Perform In Houston
From SC Knows Media;
Last month, Juicy J and A$AP Ferg came into town for the Houston stop of their “Stay Trippy” tour at Warehouse Live and as expected, absolutely crushed it. Leading up to the show it had been raining for well over 6 hours and a good part of the city was flooded but that didn’t stop hundreds of fans from waiting for hours in the rain to see the Memphis legend perform. Because of the weather, the show got started a little later than usual which honestly, is ok for a rap show, it could have been A LOT worse. Coming into this show I didn’t really know what to expect from Ferg as I had only seen him perform with Rocky before and wasn’t sure if I was going to be into his solo act but he definitely made me a believer, and fast. Taking a page out of Juicy J’s book, A$AP Ferg called about 20 girls on stage (One of whom was on stage at Juicy’s last stage, and in my recap video oddly enough) and proceeded to make the entire venue go absolutely insane. Even for an artist who is not necessarily in the spotlight as much as most, Ferg shined in this performance and the crowd knew damn near every word throughout his entire 30 minute set. By the time Juicy hit the stage the crowd was well intoxicated and ready to party. Juicy J is one of the “older” artists (the others being Method Man and Devin the Dude) that I truly think could show a lot of upcoming artists the ropes when it comes to shows and how to get a crowd on your side. You would never know that this man has been doing this for well over 20 years by watching his live show and if weren’t for the weather I definitely would have stayed longer to catch the entire set but my driving is bad enough and 6 inches of water on a highway doesn’t make it any better.
