Rapper Big Sean performed at the CCSU Fall Concert in Welte Auditorium this past Saturday to a sold-out audience of 1700. The night was marked with Big Sean performing many of his hits, including “High,” “I Do It” and “Bull Shittin.'”

My anticipation for the concert was through the roof.  The preoccupations of the day pressed for time: getting out of work at 5 p.m., having to pregame and get ready before 7 p.m. when the doors open, became challenging. The suitemates and I did what everyone attending did before the concert:  listen to Big Sean’s Finally Famous and Finally Famous Mixtape Volume 3, while keeping our glasses and lungs filled—if you catch my drift. Going to the concert in that state is what Big Sean wanted us, and everyone else, to do. Grabbing our seats on the ground level, the alcohol was settling within the crowd, and I could just feel it was about to blow up when Sean hit the stage.

“BOY, I DO IT, FINALLY FAMOUS OVER EVERYTHING.”  Every last person stood up and the auditorium erupted with cheers, hands up in the air. Big Sean jumped around; spazzing out on the stage getting the crowd more pumped up.

“Who’s smoking that good tonight?”  Of course, the crowd cheered back loudly.

Big Sean performed many of his hits right off the bat. “High,” it began, “I don’t give a fuck about anything, that you’re telling me, Cause right now it’s all, irrelevant, I’m so high I won’t, remember it.”  The crowd went off the wall for that song and many other smash hits of his like, “I do it,” “Too Fake,” “Bull Shittin,” “Ass,” “My Last,” and ended with “Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay.”

Every single person was dancing and having a great time.  Nothing tops the night for when “Ass” played.  Here I felt the actual connection Big Sean made with audience because this capitalized the night.  Everyone went wild and Big Sean really made that song special for the crowd because he knows, just as much as everyone there, that “Ass” would make people feel some type of way, especially while under the influence.

The special effects, the lighting and no delay or technical difficulties made the Big Sean concert the best I’ve seen at CCSU alongside the J.Cole/LMFAO concert. The atmosphere and the hype remained fun all around.

To those in attendance, we can’t forget about the one fan that hopped up on stage and ripped his shirt off for his five seconds of fame. It didn’t last long though, he was slammed by Big Sean’s beast of a bodyguard.  Probably drunk, he didn’t feel much, but I bet he was feeling it in the morning.

Ending the show, Big Sean went going into the crowd and took pictures with them, signed a lighter and threw it into the crowd, and finally thanked the crowd and walked back stage and tweeted how hype CCSU was for the show.

Big Sean had a great concert. For those students who chose not to attend or waited till the last minute to buy tickets, I feel bad for you, because you missed one wild performance.
