Chamillionaire and Paul Wall tore the house down on Friday night (April 23) for their first on stage performance together in Houston since their split in 2004. The show was sold out with supporters. “The entire city of Houston showed up so heavy to support us tonight, It made the decade worth of reppin’ for Texas completely worth it” Chamillionaire Said.
Cham and The Champ preformed preformed many of their own hits before giving the crowd a treat. The duo brought out Screwtown’s very own Bun B who had Pimp C’s son in tow (see video below). The UGK member preformed “Get Throwed” and “Draped Up” before the headliners wrapped up the show.
The rap duo then offered up new material: “Main Event” from Chamillionaire’s Venom, a June 22 release, and “I’m on Patron” from Paul Wall’s The Heart of a Champion, a June 29 release. “Tonight’s show was incredible,” Wall said. "... that gave us a strong sense of Texas pride and tonight showed that the city is ready to unite and take over again.”
What up. I am a Business student at UNCO and the Monfort Business School. I am graduating in December of 2010. I was born and raised in Denver Colorado. I enjoy playing sport an being outside. I am a huge music enthusiast. I love hip hop and music that makes you bob your head.
Hip-Hop is word that can evoke 10 different definitions, from 10 different people. You might here hip-hop in the context of artist like C-murder and Lil’ Wayne, all the way to artist on the other side of the spectrum like Justin Timberlake and even Madonna. To me, hip-hop is any music made today that makes you want to bob your head or get up and dance.
Growing up I was influenced by multiple different types of music. Some of first CD’s I remember receiving on Christmas still have songs I listen to today. TLC’s “Waterfalls”, Korn’s “Issues”, and Will Smith’s “Big Willy Style”, to name a few greats. As I got older, my tastes in Music developed, and music became a huge part of my life. Every day before football practice, especially before games, I would throw on my IPod and get into the zone. The messages in such influential, and often considered controversial, CD’s like Eminem’s “The Marshal Mather’s LP”, Dr. Dre’s “2001”, and 2pac’s “All eyes on me” helped me stay focused in school and grow to be an Independent and intelligent Adult. Musicians have the power to spread fantastic messages; you just have to know what to be listening for.
As I made the biggest step of my life, moving up to UNCO, I had polished my favorite music style to be Hip-Hop, my definition of Hip-Hop. I spend countless hours on the Computer looking for the next big hit, or a new beat I could listen to while lifting or snowboarding. Some of the greatest signs of respect I can receive are when a friend comes to me with his IPod, looking for a fix of new tunes. I have built my life and personality around great music, using a Blogger and Twitter is the next step to evolving my passion, to my life.
