Man It was the perfect setting, good music, hella women and no funk...yea the line was crazy, but that comes wit the event, but as allways some fuck rushed the door and fucked it up for hundreds of other people. Thats why we can't have shit in the bay cause it's always somebody willing to fuck it all up because they couldn't get in. If we want our area to get "what we desrve" in the industry we got to have some since out-here. Shit like this detours major lables from comin out here, it fucks up relationships between club promoters, clubs and artist and it gives KMEL and Clear Channel an excuse to not support our area. So if you were one of the people that fucked this off for every body else- don't sit on this board and bitch about how the Bay aint got shit..because you are the reason why.
Kanye Show Would Have Been Cool, But Dumb Asses Fucked It Up
- Thread starter RealRich
- Start date
I was there right near the front of the line when all those fools rushed the door. So wack! The whole event was completely disorganized and unprofessional. I will never go to another show at space 550 or thrown by White Rhino. They had all the people who bought tickets already in one line and they weren't letting us in. I think they oversold the event and wanted to collect cash before letting pre-sale ticket holders in. I stood in line for over 2 hours and that shit had to happen right before I was gonna get in.
Sean and I stood in line for about 2 hours. It didn't really seem like an organized line though. At least 500 people were squeezing towards the front and packed in like sardines. We bought tickets in advance for $30.00 each and thought there would be a separate line for that but we couldn't find one. We were about 20 feet away from the door when the shit went down.
A security guard was talking shit to some dude in line. They were about 5 feet away from me and I couldn't understand why the security guard was talking shit to him. Next thing you know the security guard had the dude in a headlock and that seems like an excuse for other people to start acting hyphy. About 20 dudes knocked down the gate and rushed into the club. Everyone started pushing each other and I had to grab Sean so I wouldn't get knocked down! We turned around and made our way back across the street and watched for a few minutes. The police rushed into the club and shut the doors.
We hung around outside for about 45 more minutes. By this time, there about 10 police cars in front of the club and about 20 more down the street all lined up. We take off and couple blocks away we see Kanye West in a stretch hummer at a red light and he rolled down the window and said it looks like it a wrap. Sean talks to him for a minute then we all take off drive a few more blocks and see 2 fire trucks and an ambulance flying down the street towards the club. Papoose & Furious were inside the club and called us and said someone got shot outside. (I hope whoever it was is OK)
Then Papoose said they made an announcement from inside the club and told everyone the show is over get out. No one got to perform. What a waste and a perfect example of how a few folks can ruin it for everyone that stood outside being cool about the long wait and just tried to get what they paid for!

it's a shame to hear shit like this!
the one thing i could say is: i think it comes down to who is the promoter. i have never heard of any problems at a done deal promoted show. everytime chuck or someone that went to the show reports it on here i never hear of any problems. i hear nothing but good shit so hopefully shows like this won't ruin it for other shows!
