Playboi Carti made the Crypto doing Arena the place of havoc, power, and rap royalty last night. The Atlanta rapper was part of his Antagonist 2.0 Tour, in which he previously sold out his sold-out concert, but subsequently surged the hype meter when he invited two of the biggest names in the hip hop scene: A$AP Rocky and Kendrick Lamar.
Carti Meets Rocky: A Long Time, with High Voltage.
When A$AP Rocky appeared on the stage in the course of the first song of the Carti album Die Lit, titled Long Time, it was not expected. The Carti and the legend of the Harlem style were involved in a breeze of bars that they were seamlessly together like weeks were perfecting their scene. The boister of Carti was matched with the chilled down Rocky, and the outcome was the screaming thereof, the hoisting of the phone to the skies, and instant viral videos that are currently filling timelines.
Kendrick Lamar Pop out and Break the Internet.
When people believed that the surprises had ended, Carti welcomed Kendrick Lamar, and the arena trembled as reportedly an earthquake. Kendrick immediately leaped into what is probably his biggest hit with Carti, his collaboration, Good Credit and the response was hysteria. These days, the Compton legend can be seen but once a minutes, yet, he reminded LA why he remains the GOAT. His intonation made his way straight through the mayhem and Carti joined in as hype-man, fueling Kendrick’s disciplined rage.
Internet fanatics became maniacal immediately. One of them screamed: Kendrick is OUT and I’m loving itttt??? THE GOAT??????????”Leme logout, it is not healthy to watch the same video 5 times, another one said. Some others celebrated Kendrick as having an elusive genius, and they wrote that he was living life, working to make a living doing his hobby, to exploit his talent to the maximum, and to keep it distant, low-profile and away from social media. He is simply enjoying his life within Hip Hop without having it on the outside.
The Tour Momentum and Viral Frenzy.
It was recorded on film and leaked out onto the internet within minutes. The wobbling camera shots of Kendrick as he appears out of the smoke, Rocky flying around the stage and Carti losing his head on stage were re-shared by fans. The craziness was so quintessentially summed up by a fan which said: Epic energy! Kendrick and Carti on stage, the audience must have been feeling it.
This LA performance was already among the hottest tickets of the year, but this performance made Carti the master of surprise. Carti is not just playing concerts by deploying high-profile once-in-a-lifetime moments. He is creating events of culture. It has more tour dates in the future and every fan is now keeping a breathing machines as he is not sure who Carti would drag out of the dark next.
