50 Cent Goes Desi
Catching you all up on some old news...did you know 50 Cent came to Mumbai back in mid-November? and that we were there?
It was a great show -- at an outdoor stadium type of venue, but with the population of a club show. we were way close to the stage without even trying.
In classic Bombay fashion, the rickshaw driver took a wrong turn trying to get us to the fairgrounds, just outside of one of the biggest office complexes in Mumbai -- Bandra Kurla complex. Within a couple minutes, we were at the end of a dark dirt road with no streetlights, no buildings, no people, no nothing. And then the rickshaw gets a flat tire. Here we are -- less than five minutes from 50 Cent and thousands of screaming fans, and we're basically in rural India.
We pay the guy some money, pile in the second of our caravan of rickshaws and speed off in search of civilization, finding it pretty quickly. Within a few minutes we are being frisked at the entrance and I'm hearing "What up Mumbai???!!!" from the stage and 25 ft. video screens. What a trip.
