YG at Irving Plaza

Snoop Dogg and Meek Mill are two of the biggest names that YG has collaborated with in the past. In fact, their song “That’s My N****” is the best thing that came out of the Will Smith movie, where he’s a cop whose partner’s an alien. The Netflix one, not MIB. These collaborations are what’s generating some of the buzz about the potential special guests for this tour. Even if it’s just YG, though, and his two opening acts that are set for the whole tour, it’s an event that’s hard to beat.

Unfortunately, a lot of the OGs like Snoop aren’t necessarily on tour all that often. If you want to take in some of the West Coast rap vibes, YG’s one of the few guys that’s spittin' them out. That’s going to be evident from the moment that he hits the stage at the Irving Plaza. The low beats of “Who Do You Love” are going to start playing, and the crowd will feel right then and there. Then he’s going to start with the lyrics, and the place is going to go wild.

Not to sound like a broken record, but it’s really a shame that these pure hip-hop acts are hard to find. There’s been a lot of electro-music influence in the genre over the last few years. The type of vibe YG brings to the table is a bit more old-school. If you were able to catch some hip-hop OGs at the Irving Plaza in their heyday, you know what it was like. YG is one of the few dudes who can turn back the clock a bit and truly provide that type of performance.

The floor area next to the stage is where these shows really take a life of their own at the Irving Plaza. If you want more breathing room, though, you can get your tickets in the loft area or the rail on the second level. Each spot is going to provide its own unique feel to guests who decide that’s the place for them on the night. Regardless, you want to hit that get tickets button to reserve your seat! Make sure to get to the Plaza early on July 26th to get the full scope of the show.
