"We aren't superstars! We regular people, just like y'all!", said Rocky as he ended the set with the song "Peso." And then, things got crazy. He jumped into the crowd several times, and then, he invited everyone to jump onto the stage with him.
Kids were jumping the barrier and dodging security just to be next to Rocky. It was a bit irresponsible and dangerous, but exciting just the same. It almost escalated to full-on riot status before the venue pulled the plug and turned up the house lights.
I personally have never seen anything like that happen at a Houston show, but then again, I've never seen a trill rapper from Harlem either.
Personal Bias: I Keeps it Trill.
The Crowd: A bunch of younguns.
Random Notebook Dump: The DJs who performed at this show were worth the price of admission by themselves. They included Rapid Ric, Elroy Boogie, Mr. Rogers, Candlestick and OG Ron C.
Oveheard in the Crowd: "Welcome to Houston, muthafucka!"
