That Moment When...
Darian Childress
“O-o-oh my god, you’re Joey Bada$$.” We were standing in The Cat’s Cradle. It smelled like French fries and coffee. My mom was standing behind my brother and I, we were waiting for pro era to come out. I was thinking “I’m so glad that I wasn’t late like normally, otherwise I wouldn’t have met Joey”
I was in the car, only 45 minutes away from seeing my favorite rapper. I was looking out the window while “Like Water” played in the background. “You really are about to see Joey live in concert” I thought. I looked to the driver’s seat to see my mom smiling non stop, I was glad she was going. I turned to see my brother bobbing his head; we were now 10 minutes away. The concert started at 9pm but we got there at 8:45, as we pulled up, you could see the tour door bus doors open.
“O-o-oh my god, you’re Joey Bada$$””lol yeah, what’s up?” I couldn’t say anything to him I was so star struck. My mom and brother decided to talk to him before we had to go inside. Once they finished talking to him we walked inside waiting for the concert to start, watching the inside fill up with all kinds of people. “Five minutes left Ian”” I know I’m too hype." We laughed and then you can hear “y’all Ready” ”I said y’all ready?”, then out comes Nyck Caution. Ian and I were so close to the stage, it kind of sucked because we were getting squished from the people behind us, but we ignored that just being happy about being at the concert. We yelled and enjoyed his set until it was over. We sang and we just vibe throughout Kirk Knight’s, CJ Fly, Vince Staples and Dyemond Lewis’s Set. “What’s the word, what’s the word, word?” The whole crowd screamed. All of sudden you can hear a voice say “Pro Era Era, Pro Era Era Era.” Everyone in the crowd knew who was coming out next. Joey. All of my excitement was at an all time high at this point.
