Rap-Up.com || Chris Brown, Ciara, & Lil’ Kim Entertain in Angola [Video]

While most of their counterparts were celebrating the Fourth of July with barbecues and fireworks at home, Chris Brown, Ciara, Lil’ Kim, and Fat Joe were overseas setting off their own sparks onstage. The U.S. stars brought their worldwide hits to Luanda’s Cidadela stadium for the “Festival Unitel 10 anos Contigo” in Angola, Africa.

Chris thrilled his international fans with songs off his latest album F.A.M.E., Ciara had the crowd transfixed with her bangin’ body and moves, Lil’ Kim stormed the stage with her fiery mixtape material, and a slim Fat Joe performed hits such as “What’s Luv?”

You won’t have to trek across the world to check out some of the fan-filmed footage below.

@QUEEN BEYONCE STANN, atleast she got a good reception for it unlike black friday>> The mixtape received overwhelmingly negative reviews from critics. Kid Fury of Vibe described its content as “tragic shit” and commented that the mixtape “lacks consistency, edge, and originality”. Slant Magazine’s Huw Jones noted a “lack of originality” in its production and panned Lil Kim’s rhymes and disses towards Minaj as “inane”, stating “There are some pert jabs dotted among the tactless insults, but for the most part, it’s a senseless rant”.

@Jen, Not where she was. You can see in the video where she was, ppl had their hands up and waving. The other ppl farther away from her were looking at other things on stage. Kim usually has dancers, so they may have been watching them.

It was only a minute and 30 seconds and she was performing a diss track. Lol

@Alicias certified homewrecka,

Yeah! That Chris Brown sure is a flop! His number 1 album F.A.M.E. (with its 6 hit singles) sure is a flop! His recent 5 BET awards sure make him a flop! All the festival’s he is performing at where he is headlining sure must be flops! 10 weeks at number 1 with Deuces and 3 weeks at number 1 with No B.S. are most definitely flops! With artists like Lil Wayne, Pitbull, Justin Bieber, Keri Hilson, Busta Rhymes, Wiz Kalifa, Chipmunk, Timbaland, Joe Jonas, Soulja Boy, SWV, Tyga, Big Sean, Benny Benassi, Diddy, T.I., Twista, the Game and some others working with him this year ALONE would certainly suggest that all these artists are not wanting to work with a “flop” like Chris Brown. Oh, wait, hold on……..I would say all this makes him a big success this year!!! Team Breezy KILLIN IT in 2011!!!!

No one was a headliner. How many singles has Chris released off FAME and it’s only sold 600K in the US and 800K WW, so he’s really the loser. #OOPS

Chris Brown fans really tickle, why are ya’ll acting all high and mighty because Chris has a Gold album. Most of his success is in the US, so ya’ll should be glad he’s actually being asked to perform overseas.
Chris Brown 2,200,000 – US/ 3,200,000 WW
Exclusive 2,000,000 – US/ 3,000,000 WW
Grafitti 350,000 – US/ 500,000 WW
FAME 600,000 – US/800,000 WW
So how is the next Michael Jackson when he can’t even get a decent selling album. 3 million WW with 4 WW hits singles is not a lot at all. He’s needs to stop arguing with Frank Ocean, Odd Future and other random people on Twitter and start focusing on expanding his brand and improving his image. I don’t recall Michael Jackson, Usher or Prince arguing with people because they said they weren’t fans of theirs. Lemme stop because I don’t Chris’ little fans to cry because someone isn’t a fan of him. But anyway, Ciara did a good job, Kim did okay I guess, and I didn’t care for Fat Joe.

I was LMAO reading some of these comments about Chris Brown and Ciara. Ciara has actually sold more albums and singles than Chris, niether of them have headlined their own tour, Ciara has 1 Grammy, Chris has none, and they both are trying to recover their fanbases they had at their beginning of their careers, so they both are in the same damn boat trying to survive. But why Chris Brown’s are acting all high and mighty is just beyond me. He’s just like Ciara, a very good dancer, but can’t sing and dance that well live. Chris’ voice breaks just as fast as Ciara’s. Ciara has sold 9 million albums and 12 million singles, Chris sold 8 million albums and 10 million singles. So success wise, they both are in the same lane.
