Although some people might argue about this Bay area rappers talent, I myself have a liking to his authentic music. Sunday, April 10th, I went to see a show at Nectar Lounge were Keak da Sneak was performing at. The tickets were only $10 dollars and was surprise he to hear a rapper from California was coming to Seattle, Wa to perform for a reasonable price.
It was 12 a.m when Keak came out to perform. Their was no live instruments and very few people to “hype” up the show. He was also stone/ drunk out of his mind which made things a lot more interesting the last hours. He seemed to have been rapping off of a disc. Every five seconds we would say two or three words and stop rapping. At this point I was annoyed with what was happening but assumed he would continue a full song without stopping. This did not happen. One of his hit singles “That’s My Word” came on that made the crowd more excited to be there. But Keak on the other hand was probably too high to comprehend the words to his own song, so again, he only said a few words and danced on stage.
I wanted to give this rapper the benefit of the doubt but all of the warning signs for a “bad concert” were exposed but, I was blind to notice.
1st sign to a crappy show:
When was the last time this artist put any music out? If it has been more than 3 years..well……
2nd Warning sign:
Tickets are only $10 dollar (not saying their aren’t musicians with good music, sale tickets for a reasonable price.)
3rd sign:
He was performing at the Nectar lounge assuming he reallyyy needs a gig.
So as much as this show was a disappointment nonetheless, I made the best of my night and for that, was only out of $10 dollars.

It’s always a disappointment you see an artist that is not taking care of their art. Of course, what they want to do with their art and how they want to present it is totally up to them. But it always makes me sad when you see someone with the potential to really have an effect on audience squander the opportunity.
