Young Jeezy, House of Blues, August 13, 2008

September 1, 2008 by: Zach Custer Leave a comment

After selling out his House of Blues show, Young Jeezy added a late show for his fans. Back-to-back shows bound Jeezy to a schedule, one that meant he had to start his first show in a timely manner. Jeezy upheld his end of the deal, placing him within a rare group of artists—those that adhere to a specific timetable.

After hitting the stage on time, he did little to separate himself from other big name rappers. Like so many, he fell victim to the mixtape style of live performance. Rather than playing songs from beginning to end, he mixed and matched choruses and verses, rarely giving the audience a full track.

The crowd however, didn’t seem to care. By giving shout-outs in his Southern growl to those born and raised in New Orleans and playing hits like “I Luv It,” “Bang” and “Topback—the remix,” Jeezy gave the audience more than enough.

His over-the-top, fuzzy bass and the shouting entourage behind his raw lyrics are staples of Southern rap that kept the crowd bouncing. While it might not have been that unique, Jeezy does what he knows well and pleased a packed house.
