Opening Wednesday’s show of the “I Am Still Music Tour” at the Hampton Coliseum with drummer Travis Barker and his DJ definitely got the energy in the arena right, and when Nicki Minaj brought a Bethel alumni on stage, she made the night particularly memorable. Although Minaj, Lil’ Wayne, and Rick Ross were the headliners, Barker and his DJ put on a show that I won’t soon forget. After a change of set, Rick Ross came out and performed his singles while promoting his new album “Self-Made” which will be on shelves May 24. Afterwards, the crowd was expecting Nicki Minaj, but Lil’ Wayne surprised them and performed half of his set; opening up the floor to femcee, Minaj, who came out and performed her hit single “Roman’s Revenge” along with other songs off of her album Pink Friday. The DJ played Sean Kingston’s song “Letting Go,” in which Minaj performed her verse, involving the crowd by bringing up Bethel alumni Rob Jones [‘10] for a seductive dance. The crowd went crazy and after a lot of facial expressions, multiple close ups of Minaj’s hind parts, and amazing dancers, she left the stage. Wayne returned, completing his set, bringing out various members of his group Young Money along the way.
The concert was a hit. Whether the fans were there to see Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj, or Lil’ Wayne, it is doubtful anyone left disappointed. Lil’ Wayne let the crowd know multiple times that he was nothing without them, and all of the performers were more than thankful for the fans. These performers found a way to unite the diverse locals in ways that others only dream of doing.
