The mood was high, the excitement was palpable and the vibe was convivial. When legendary New York hype man DJ Boof warmed up the crowd and instructed fans to look to their left, then to their right and introduce themselves to the people around them, it felt like shaking hands in the congregation pew at the most high-energy church service you could imagine. Everyone in the room was automatically bonded in the thrill of anticipation to see Minaj take the stage.
DJ Boof followed Tyga and kept the room on its feet with singalongs of millennial-era radio rap favorites from the likes of Soulja Boy and Keyshia Cole. Boof proved his chops as a veteran audience-mover, leading crowd games like the swag surf and a full wave from one side of the arena to the other. But attendees erupted in applause when he brought outfor “Walk That Walk,” “Get Big,” and “Ice Cream Paint Job.” The local anthems were the perfect addition to the evening’s pre-game.
But after about four songs, Minaj left the stage for a costume and set change that lasted a little over three minutes. This was a recurring pattern through the first two acts of the show, cut with five different interlude pauses that felt too long to keep the evening’s flow consistent. Through the first hour of her performance, Minaj spent nearly half the time offstage.
