Its amazing how empty the song “By myself” is when its edited. It consisted of D-Roc and Kaine of the Ying Yang Twins saying two words and then holding the microphone to the audience, who were more than willing to yell any word the Twins were not allowed to say due to censorship.
The Twins also performed their familiar hits “Salt Shaker”, “Badd”, “Whistle While You Twerk”, “I Yi Yi”, “Get Low” and “Wait.”Their performance also included a full on Michael Jackson impression by D-Roc. Their DJ could take of his shirt while still working the turntable and stand on his hands and use his feet.
Although, the crowd was already pumped up after Ying Yang’s opening act, Nappy Roots, Skinny Deville, RonClutch, Big U, R Prophet, Scales, and B.Stille had the crowd going crazy after they were finished. They performed several songs, some of which were “Awnaw,” “12-inch”, Po’Folks, and “Country Boys.”
There is still not an exact number on total ticket sales because there were several more tickets sold at the door than before hand. An estimated 2500 tickets had to be sold to break with the cost of putting on the concert. As of press time, SAC was still unsure if a profit was made.
Fans had mixed reviews about the concert, espeicially due to the censorship.
“It was ridiculous that they had to censor their language since the students were singing along to those parts anyway,” said sophomore Emily Stooksberry from Martin.
“The concert was good, but the Michael Jackson impression alone made it worth the ticket price,” said Lucas Jones, a sophomore secondary education major from Savannah.
