I just got back from seeing Lil' Jon's AOL live show...

Pitbull! Bun B! Brooke Valentine! Scrappy! Trillville! Ying Yang Twins! And it was still kind of tame!
I dunno, maybe it was the fact that they had self edited themselves into a corner (can't say "nigger" or "fuck" on AOL, apparently) but I couldn't even seem to get a mosh pit started. Fun, but a bit wooden and the HEAVY assistance with taped vocals didn't help either.
High points: Seventeen year old punk girl behind me persists in screaming "BEAT MY PUSSY UP, BEAT MY PUSSY UP" when the Twins do "Whisper in My Ear" and I get to turn around and deadpan, "Sweetie, I hardly know you"; getting to meet some of my email/online buddies in the flesh; screaming "Soylent Green is PEOPLE!" while Lil' Jon distributed Crunk Juice to the audience; Pitbull's amazing performance; Brooke's amazing body... but not her live show. She ain't there yet.
Lil' Jon is the Stan Lee of this rap shit, tho'.

I can't tell if your final comment is meant to be positive or not! (But I do like the idea of him going "YEAAAAAAAAAAH EXCELSIORRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!")

The set list was insane. Ying Yang doing "Get Low" with Lil' Jon and
"Salt Shaker" and "Whisper In Your Ear"; Brooke on "Girlfight"; Pitbull did the "Gasolina" remix AND "Toma" and "Culo"; Trillville and Cutty on "Some Cut", Lil' Jon and the Boys on "Headbussaz" "What You Gone Do" "Get Some Crunk in Your System" etc etc etc. It was a wild live greatest hits set with an unbelievable ending: he did "Lovers and Friends" and had THE AUDIENCE sing Ursher and Ludas parts for him. Basically, his finale was him wandering the stage mumbling and waiting for his one verse while the East Side Boys did booty dances on the stage corners. Very very funny.
You can watch it here. I'm the skinny white boy about three rows back of center stage with the Freddie Mercury 'stache, flipping off the camera.

What did Bun B do?
