Tyga

Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson, better known by his stage persona of Tyga is a cult figure on the R & B scene and has a live show of equal cult status. Having achieved a string of underground hits as well as a commercial album in the States, Tyga's fan base has grown substantially and he now backs out gigs with fans who rap along to every verse of opener 'I'm The Shit'.

A short interlude with Honey Cocaine makes the crowd cheer with joy as the two artists duet with staggering pace and aggression. His collaborative track 'Roger That' with Young Money is also a clear fan favourite, perhaps due to the hope that L'il Wayne may join for a verse or two. The complexity in verses found on such as 'Kings & Queens' and 'Hard in the Paint' prove that Tyga can really hold his own onstage and has no problem hitting every lyric on point.

His audience are enthusiastic throughout as they dance to the heavy bass that reverberates constantly through the whole gig. The finale of 'Rack City' gets the largest cheer as its huge chart success in the US is clearly reflected by the crowd, and they'll be humming the tune long after the gig has finished.

Tyga, whose real name is Michael Ray Nguyen-Stevenson (you can see why he shortened it) is a rapper and R&B artist who has developed somewhat of a cult following during the years of his musical career. He has achieved both commercial success (mostly due to his infamous tunes ‘Ayo’ and ‘Rack City’) and massive underground success due to his music. Tyga’s fan following is only too apparent during his shows, when whole audiences belt out the lyrics to some of his tunes. The controversial ‘Rack City’ is probably Tyga’s biggest hit and is easily recognisable. Tyga performed this to rapturous cheers. Indeed, his whole performance was fun and high energy. Tyga performs incredibly fast paced and his tunes are catchy enough that you can forgive the explicit language. ‘Hookah’ and ‘Switch Lanes’ were two of the highlights of the night. However, it was Tyga’s massive tune ‘Ayo’ with Chris Brown that generated the most excitement and that had the entire crowd jumping up and down and singing along in excitement. It was quite something to see thousands of fans screaming ‘Ayoooo’ repeatedly.

I think Tyga put on a GREAT show and definitely gave the people what they wanted and more. I would of liked to see him perform more songs off the album but it probably would of thrown off the party tempo of the night. Tyga did perform one of my favorites off his album entitled “Im Gone”. I had my fingers crossed hoping that Big Sean would appear from back stage to spit his verse but it didn’t happen. I figured since Bieber showed his face then anything could happen. Honey Cocaine came out and performed “Heisman”, YG ended up coming back out to perform “Bitches Aint Shit” and FiNaTTicz came out to perform everyone’s guilty pleasure “Thun Thun Song”. Overall it was a cool upbeat show and every artist gave 100%. The whole audience left the venue humming the “Rack City” hook with the “Thun Thun Song” lingering somewhere in their minds as well. The show was ideal for someone not so much into focusing on lyrics but more interested in having a good time and partying with the people around them.

It was great even with the extended wait time for t raw. He brought out Oakland's D Lo and had many other artists. Great music, great sound and stage lighting. Epic concert beautiful women.

it was so much fun... thanks for a good time. the ambiance is great the decor in the women's restroom was beautiful. love roses. the staff was friendly and helpful around the venue.

So dope!! Would so go again and recommend it.
Best moment was when everyone was yelling tyga's name and when the whole crowd put their flashlights on and it looked so cool!
