Boi… I do it… Along with Swerve the keywords when it comes to G.O.O.D. Music’s Big Sean. Yesterday the Detroit native played his show in Berlin’s C-Club which was not sold out but adequately crowded. Local DJ crew Red Light District started around 8 to warm up the crowd and in my opinion they did an excellent job as I hardly enjoy such support acts but time thankfully flew. At 9 Big Sean’s DJ Mo Beatz took over from his German colleagues and a few minutes later Big Sean hit the stage as well.
He tried (and succeeded) to build a connection with the audience by flaunting his impressive German skills (e.g. counting up to 24) and giving away merch. He performed songs off of his debut album Finally Famous (“I Do It”, “My Last”, “Marvin & Chardonnay”, “Memories”, “High”, “Dance (Ass)”), his Detroit mixtape (“24K of Gold”, “Mula”), his single “Guap” from his upcoming album Hall of Fame and his appearances on the likes of “Mercy“, “Clique”, “Burn“, “Don’t Like” etc.
The choice of songs was great, I only missed one of my favorite songs: “Don’t Tell Me You Love Me”.
Initially fully clothed even with a beanie covering his head, the rapper stood there shirtless at the end of the concert and even broke one of his necklaces – I guess you can tell he was into it.
I’m not even quite sure if the concert lasted a full hour because Big Sean left the stage quickly after he finished “Clique”. It’s quite unusual to leave without doing an encore but I guess for the price (18€ a ticket) I will tolerate it as I had a real good time.
