Part of the fun is walking away with half a shirt and a bloody lip, letting the world know “I Survived A Playboi Carti Show.” No one wants to be rejected to the back, where the ones who can’t take the madness look on with folded arms. Ripped shirts, lost shoes and injuries are the price of admission.
Throwing an elbow and forming moshpits are the requirements to enjoying a Carti show. It was an emotion I haven’t felt since I went to an ASAP Mob show in New Orleans when Rocky’s latest project was, and Ferg’s “Work” was turning every club and festival into rubble. What it lacked in length, it made up in intensity. My first introduction to a live Carti show was earlier this year at Camp Flog Gnaw. Coincidentally, Playboi Carti opened for Travis that night. One person ended that night with a broken leg. A few days prior, Carti turned New York’s Terminal 5 upside down in a way that hasn’t been seen since Travis Scott’s 2017 “Bird In The Trap Sing Mcknight” induced the ragers to jump from the balconies. Three of them had never been to a Playboi Carti show - Frank and I have.īy now, most people have at least seen what a Playboi Carti show looks like. The line to get in seemed to never end, which wasn’t surprising for a sold-out show 30 minutes before the doors opened, but still surprised Frank and our ragtag band of friends who’ll never see each other again. “This” being Playboi Carti’s Die Lit tour with Sheck Wes at Philadelphia’s historic Fillmore. The blooming friendship began with a simple question one posed to another, “Yo, you ready for this?” We all slowly became cool, talking about music, festivals and ways to survive this thing we were about to experience. I had known Frank and the four other guys in the line with me for a total of 20 minutes. I didn’t think they’d turn out like this,” Frank said out loud, but to no one in particular.
