Lil Wayne packs GM Place

“I’m a millionaire I’m a young money millie”

You’d have to be to afford Lil Wayne tickets, ranging anywhere from $95-$400 a seat, and while the rock star-rapper sings of his riches, woman everywhere were singing an entirely different story.

GM Place was packed full of screaming woman last Saturday where they were treated to an all-star line-up consisting of Lil Wayne, Keri Hilson and Gym Class Heroes.

The young rapper was defiantly a lady-pleaser, as the stadium was packed full of female fans showing plenty of skin.

As sound crews were setting up, several teenage girls leaned against the stage rails in bras and miniskirts hoping to catch a glimpse of the rapper also known as Young Jeezy.

Across the room three girls stood in matching green tank tops and short shorts holding a yellow neon sign reading “We will do anything for Lil Wayne”.

It was no doubt this show was for the ladies and as the lights dimmed echoes of the screaming girls could be heard through the stadium.

Gym Class Heroes kicked off the show, followed by new-comer Keri Hilson.
It was not until T-Pain hit the stage that the real show began.

For an opening act his stage was incredible, equipped with a complete circus backdrop, including a full-sized circus tent and half a dozen dancers.

Belting out hits such as “Shawty”, “Drop it” and “Laffy taffy” the energetic performer hit the stage for a solid half hour and had the crowd singing their hearts out.

After a final performance the stage went black.

The crowd went insane as lights filled the stage, and the man known as “the greatest rapper alive” walked onstage.

Wayne gave a hell of a performance.

The small gnome-like man kicked off the show with a pyro-inspired stage, equipped with fire-cannons, blow torches, fireworks and flames, as well as several backup dancers wearing next to nothing.

With a swagger like Wayne’s, it’s hard not to give the croaky-voiced performer credit for being cool, at least in the rap industry.

After slamming down hit after hit, including the hit singles “A millie” and “Lollipop”, the dreadlocked man stopped to give thanks to the sold-out crowd.

Sitting on the edge of the stage with the house lights on, the rapper told the crowd two important things to remember “I ain’t shit without you” and “I ain’t shit without you”.

With that, the rapper finished his set with several tracks from his mixed tape, and ended with one small piece of advice for all the fans.

“Don’t do it because it’s cool, do it because you are cool”
