I remember I went to a little local summer jam and they had MGK, French Montana and Meek Mill some other nikkas too but Meek Mill was the headline before the Drake beef when his hype was at all time high. It was mostly white people and they left after MGK performed that shyt was funny af:mjlol:

But I got 4 tickets I brought on my ticketmaster app shyt

Drake and Future
Kanye West
Chance the rapper
Schoolboy Q

Most these rappers just be doing little club shyt where they walk thru and chill in VIP and do like 2-3 songs and bounce

Classic Niccas
for example to gotti or boosie or dolph is performing at some hole in the wall club that charges 40-50 for admission that night your spending more money to get in and to buy drinks and other stuff and that's not even counting if you buy a vip booth, that's more expensive then a concert, I know nikkas who do this on a weekly basis.


yep. regular chit.

and black people are notorious for shelling out disposable income. NOTORIOUS.

where do y'all keep coming up with this from? it's people spending 200 dollars weekly on Jordan's but they can't afford concert tickets :what:

I'm not doing either.

on top of that, a pair of shoes for me last years. a $250 concert last 3 hours, so it's no suprise which thing most folks would rather spend their money on.

I just went to ScHoolboy Q's concert in San Francisco yesterday, and I was one of about 15-20 black people in the place. The rest were White and Asian. I have no problems with them, but I hate it when other cultures, especially from sheltered backgrounds act rap the word nikka during the set.

What are your thoughts on concerts, and why black people seem to not attend them? What are your thoughts on other cultures saying "nikka" at concerts?
most nikkas can't afford it prolly.. nikkas is broke these days

Depends on the location and they type of rapper. Hipster rappers have mostly white fans.

I was actually pricing concert tickets yesterday. and outside of rae and ghost charging around $35 a ticket for a show here in a couple months, EVERYTHING else was astronomical.

I'm talking:

Kanye
Chance
Diddy and the 90's bad boy artists (faith, mase, 112, etc)

for a halfway decent ticket, you're paying at least $200. and there's no way I'm paying $100 to sit in the nosebleeds. thats nonsense. I can't justify paying $400-$500 for 3 hours of entertainment. shyt ain't worth it to me. I could take my wife to one of the best restaurants in the city, and it's only gonna cost half of that.

I've been to plenty of concerts back when ticket prices were reasonable. I went to see :ahh: in concert, and those tickets were under $50. I saw the roots/common for under $40, I saw de la soul for under $30, and I saw ATCQ/busta for under $30. I saw jay-z/dmx/meth/red/bleek/beans and those tickets were under $40. All this was in the late 90's and early 2000's. so in 15 years times, ticket prices have gone up 5 times in price......:rudy: :ucku:

I'm not gonna bend over for an artist.
