Lil Wayne Live at The Dome, Johannesburg

Lil Wayne is probably one of the best performers I have ever seen on stage. His charisma and stage presence keeps you fixated on every single word he says. The way he makes you feel like you're the only one in the room is something not every performer can do. He doesn't just rap songs he really talks to his audience and wants them to get to know him. He makes jokes and he's so funny I'm sure he's the clown of the YMCMB group. Here he is at the beginning of the show introducing himself and performing "A Milli". Just to let you know the audio is TERRIBLE on the videos. I was five rows from the stage but in front of really tall people and me being 1.5m didn't help so excuse the shaky video taking and bad audio. From 1:21
its just noise, you can't actually hear the song but some shots are ok.

Some playful comments that Weezy made about being with a South African women and what kind of child would come out. The guy really knows how to massage the female ego. I wonder if he says this about the women in all the countries he visits?

A suprise visit from Drizzy Drake Rogers. I loved the way he brought him out.Please look at Wayne's face on 0:44, he's like a little kid that just got candy. I went crazy when Drake came out I forgot that I was filming a video so he's a bit elusive but you do seem him.

Some random clips of Drizzy and Weezy were performing. Audio still terrible, some shots are ok though. My battery was low so I could never shoot more than a minute or less and then it died. Hopefully you get a feel of what we experienced. I can't describe the feeling of salivating fans hanging onto to every word he uttered and rapping along in unison to every song. The intenstity that Lil Wayne blasts out when he's performing comes from the passion that you can feel is in his very soul which sweats out from every pore in his body. I'm glad I got to see him live, I hope he comes back again.

Young Nucho at Rosebank Mall

So on Thursday night I'm busy busting tables when my colleague tells me that Lil Wayne just walked past where I work. I couldn't believe it. I had to see it with my very own eyes...

I honestly believed it was him because he had the entourage, the bodyguards and he walked and dressed like Weezy. He even has the body tattoos. I tweeted it and made it my bbm status update only to be told that Lil Wayne is still Cape Town. You know its one thing to look like someone and another to pretend to be that someone. Is this an honest mistake or a deliberate attempt Young Nucho?

Nedbank Golf Challenge

Yesterday I had the pleasure of assisting at the opening party of the Nedbank Golf Challenge at Sun City. The car ride there was so much fun and judging by the high number of Lamborghinis, Ferraris, Range Rovers and Maseratis impatiently overtaking us and whizzing by we knew that this was a really prestigious event. By the time we arrived at the palace gates of Sun City the golf tournament had already started. I'm not a huge fan of golf so I didn't watch the tournament for too long. I found better things to do with my time before the party like taking a refreshing swim at the lovely sea blue pool. After that we had to start preparing for the burlesque themed party. It was a  ravishing affair! We were dressed to the nines with wigs in every colour you could think of, a rainbow of boas woven loosely around the our necks with garters that were perfectly attached to sexy nude or fishnet stockings. We were dressed as sexy sailors, flirtatious french maids, juicy jesters and sensual singers and our costumes were so tight that they made girls with ironing board like bodies look like Beyonce. I wish I hadn't left my camera at home just so you could see how gorgeous everyone looked.

Our job was to get the party going but most of the party goers didn't need our help in having a good time. The party was held under a bright moonlit sky on the beach sand of the Valley of the Waves. The alcohol was flowing free like a tempestuous river and the food was so heavenly I felt like God himself had made it. There were performances by different acts but the one that stood out for me was the a dancing group whose costumes were like the ones that are worn by the dancers in the Black Eyed Peas video "Boom Boom Pow" except that they had laser buttons that outlined their entire bodies and when the music started they shot up laser beams into the navy blue sky so that it looked like there were these celestial beings up in the sky that were dancing in sync to the humanly forms in front of us and in case people thought they weren't being theatrical enough they had fireworks explode into the sky whenever there were crescendos in the music.

It was a riveting experience and one of the highlights of my year.
