Hoodie Allen Review
Xavier 1 Joe Xavier

11/8/2012
A Night with Hoodie On the night of November 5th, one of my favorite rising hip hop stars, Hoodie Allen came to the Sacramento State campus. When I first heard of the concert I thought to myself, Hoodie is pretty famous why would he be performing at Sacramento State? Of course I had to see him, so I reached out to a bunch of my friends from my hometown to come with me on that fine night and I’ll tell you it was worth the ten dollar fee. Hoodie lit up the stage with his intense energy and his interaction with the crowd. Although being incredibly hot due to the mass amount of people being in the ballroom at the same time, it definitely will go down as one of the greatest concerts I have been to. The show was an amazing experience and the songs he performed were executed with great energy. It started when new up and coming artist named Sooshe opened up for him to get the crowd going with his personal DJ and techno vibe, but everyone was just anticipating Hoodie take the stage. Overall Sooshe did a great job getting everyone warmed up and even had the whole crowd chant “Hoodie, Hoodie” before he left the stage. Soon after the lights dimmed and Hoodie’s live band started playing one of his hit songs, “The Chase is On.” The whole crowd went crazy, escalating louder and louder as Hoodie emerged from backstage. Getting everyone to
Xavier 2 put their arms in the air and wave them to the beat, he performed the song with high energy. After throwing the sunglasses he was wearing into the crowd, he sang numerous songs from his new album “All-American” such as “No Faith in Brooklyn” and “Top of the World.” He also performed my personal favorite, “Not a Robot” which he added a twist involving the live band. On top of all of his own songs he sang, he played a couple of other artists’ songs and added his own vibe to them. Miley Cyrus’s “Party in the USA” and The Beastie Boys “Fight For Your Right to Party”

    There were so many stages and people. Lights, music and lots of commotion. The first band we saw was just so amazing and it really was a great start to the day. We danced and sang and had such a great time. I even ran into some childhood friends I had not seen in years. I felt so good that I could be part of this festival and it made me feel good to see people coming together for the music.…

    I showed up too late to experience his opening acts. When I found myself at the top of the hill, looking down at the stage, I couldn’t help but feel a surge of excitement. The stage was covered with fog, behind an enormous white screen, and there was music playing while we waiting for Kid Cudi to make his entrance. Once the lights turned down, the crowd grew quiet in anticipation.…

    B.B. King performed a full blues concert, but based off his performance and the crowd reactions, you would not think he was performing anything sad. Though his style is traditionally blues, each song performed, with the exception of “Love Me Tender”, had an upbeat vibe to it. He played a total of nine songs with almost all of them ending with the same melody that the Blues are known for. The acoustics of the venue, Nick’s Uptown, were pretty good. There was only a slight echo, but for the audience it was probably unnoticeable. Actually, Nick’s Uptown did not seem as large as I thought it would be but it is a club after all. King and his band performed in front of a packed house, and from the start, the audience was loud as soon as King got on stage.…

    I went to Mr. O’Neal’s second jazz concert today, which took place at a little bit far but very nice jazz studio in San Pedro. There was a beautiful neighborhood nearby, and it was the first time I’ve ever been to San Pedro. I was kind of tired since I went there right after I got off from work, but I still be excited and couldn’t wait for the wonderful music. My friends and I had a seat before the concern really started, it was a warm and sweet little room. Then I looked at the little stage in front where Mr. O’Neal’s going to perform later, it was just fit to everything. I like the design of the stage: they had colorful lighting on five separate pieces pure white background , a new classic piano, a bright blue jazz drum which I like the best, and a set of red African drum, they really made me look forward to the show. My friend also ordered the pizza the Mr. O’Neal recommended, and we were ready to enjoy the concert!…

    Is Hip Hop Dead???

    I can still recall the first hip hop album I listened to. It was Reasonable Doubt by Jay Z. I remember how I instantly fell in love with the lyrics. I hadn’t heard anything like it before, primarily because I only listened to R&B and some watered down rap music. The lyrics were hard hitting. They meant something. I could his hunger through the speakers as he rapped his song entitled “Can I Live” which said “Well we hustle out of a sense of, hopelessness/Sort of a desperation/Through that desperation, we 'come addicted/Sorta like the fiends we accustomed to servin” (3-6). I also remember how my older brother looked at me like I was an idiot because I was listening to an album that had come out in 1996, in 2001. He didn’t quite understand the difference between rap and hip hop music; but I saw the difference right away. Hip hop means something. Rap is just a good beat to dance to.…

    Hip-Hop has created a lot of social and cultural bridges that otherwise wouldn't exist today. For example, the Hasidic Jew reggae artist Matisyahu is one of the most popular artists today. But would he ever have even thought to have become a Hip-Hop artist if Hip-Hop wasn't such an accessible and open movement? "Hip-Hop is creating very interesting bridges across racial and ethnic communities," says S. Craig Watkins - a sociology professor at the University of Texas at Austin. Kay Kendall, also from the UT at Austin, says the "youth of different races and ethnicities are using the common ground of Hip-Hop to interact in a more seamless fashion than their grandparents ever would have envisioned. Mass media and clever marketing have made it a small world after all." And even Russell Simmons, "the godfather of Hip-Hop", says, "According to the statistics [of a recent survey], it seems that youth are much more likely to accept and embrace the differences between people in terms of culture, color, religion, and ethnicity than older Americans." Referring to the same statistics Dr. Benjamin Chavis said, "These polls indicate that the Hip Hop generation (people ages 18-35) are willing to embrace…

    On February 24th, I attended the West Michigan Concert Winds “Winner and Winds” concert. West Michigan Concert Winds is a volunteer group that performs instrumental music to the community.

There was also many current or retired band directors apart of the ensemble. They performed all different genres of music from a Sousa march to an Irish wake by A.J. Potter. There was also a scholarship acceptance performance by a local high school junior who was amazing at the clarinet.…
