Jeremih delivers a cautious start to the “Final Lap” evening under his hood and sunglasses: After 13 minutes on stage and teased songs, including “Birthday Sex” and “Oui”, the RnB singer and his two twerking dancers leave the field for Busta Rhymes. The rap icon appears in a green outfit and is accompanied by his loyal colleague Spliff Star.
As usual, the two interact with the Munich audience, especially the “sexy Munich ladies,” in an eccentric manner and with a lot of humor. With sirens wailing and drums beating, the star of the show finally climbs out of a box full of smoke. In all-black outfits, he is difficult to recognize next to his support. During “If I Cant” the live band appears on platforms and 50 Cent leaves the stage for a dance performance by his scantily clad dancers. In a new outfit – a light blue tracksuit – he now stands out from his rap support.
Fire cannons, projections and smoke decorate the show, and soon the master is floating above the audience hanging on a rope – before he performs “PIMP”. By now the last hand is up and everyone is rapping along.
50 Cent never gives up, as you can see in Instagram videos in every concert city: It’s about food prepared by chefs, black limousines, dumbbell-heavy gold chains, Versace pants, and often a funny pilot steps in Image that tells where the private jet just landed. And on stage, Busta Rhymes, another of the great philanderers of American hip-hop, is allowed to generously splash bubbly.
For a while, 50 Cent was everything in hip-hop. The classic album “Die Rich or Die Tryin'” sells 15 million copies; Porn numbers like “Candy Shop” and “PIMP” are rapped along by middle-class youth around the world, and an autobiographical film with Fiddy as himself is at least celebrated by fans. 50 Cent always has something to say, even if it’s for self-assurance on the “Final Lap” tour, which probably won’t be his last round.
A detailed review of the concert will be posted on Wednesday sz.de/muenchen.
