“Hypnotized” Tour Disappoints

by NADIA PFLAUM

A helpful reader called in today to report that the “Hypnotized Tour” at Kemper Arena Sunday night was a disappointing bust.

Promotional fliers listed the artists that were supposed to perform: Plies, Rick Ross, Lil Boosie, Juvenile, Pretty Ricky, Yo Gotti, Pop It Boyz, Shay and Mon-E-G. Tickets were $50. KPRS, the station that plays Plies’ song “Hypnotized” roughly every fifteen seconds, was listed as a sponsor.

“If you’d have gone to malls and places where black people shop, you would have seen it was a frenzy yesterday,” our caller says. “People getting new outfits and stuff. Plies, he’s like a big deal. He shot a video in the streets of KC with Rick Ross, you know what I’m saying. So it was a nice crowd, everyone was really amped up for this concert.”

But unfortunately, more than half of the artists listed on the bill didn’t perform.
