Especially when it was Announced that the tickets would be free.
Chappelle, the Yellow Springs native and unofficial Mayor of the city, decided to do something for Dayton, which has had 2 disasters in a 3 month span.
The shooting tragedy which killed 9 and injured 30+ really hit Dave, as he frequently visits the Dayton area and has been seen in the Oregon District on occasion.
However, when the lineup was being announced as to who would be actually showing up?
The whole Midwest has taken notice, and the vibe is at a Hollywood Type feel, as the ticket demands are at a all time high.
Lets go down the proposed list as we give u our SELive365 Gameday Plays for the Gem City Shine Concert in the Oregon District:
Are These Stars
(1) In The Concert
(2) Out
(3)"Wait and See"
Kanye West - In
West has been seen already on Friday.
He and Kim Kardashian West visited the Oregon District and also ate at the Cheesecake Factory causing a frenzy.
It was reported that Yeezy had a concert in the Nati on Friday;
Regardless, his visual in the city has put the entire city on a serious Hollywood vibe.
And while there were rumors that they wanted to keep him hush hush until today?
Yeezy squashed that by showing up on Friday.
GemCityShine Reports:
Yeezy is in tha building.
Lady Gaga - In
Gaga hasnt been spotted but is one of the proposed names on the list.
Gaga has already donated to Dayton and has been able to reinvent herself over and over to the masses.
Her voice is one of the best in the world, and she always brings the media and fans the "Juice" in her appearances.
GemCityShine Reports:
Gaga is as sure to performing as there is on Sunday.
John Legend - GameTime Decision
Legend, who came up with Kanye and Dave in the early years of his career, is purposed to be there. Legend has already made a visit to Oregon District and actually performed for some of the victims and their families. A Springfield native, expect Legend to be on stage.
GemCityShine Report:
Legend should be in the building. He did already perform, but is one of Dave's closest friends.
John Mayer - GameTime Decision
Mayer, another one od the Artists who performed on the Chappelle Show, has been linked in the Dyt already. Mayer is a solo powerhouse whos charismatic style and laid back music has kept him at the top of the music ranks.
Not to mention his braggadocio with the ladies in Hollywood.
GemCityShine Report:
Mayer will show up, if he hasn't already. He rocks with Dave.
Erykah Badu - In
Badu, who performed on The Chappelle Show, has reportedly been spotted in the city. Badu, who always brings a powerful message in all of her work, should be ready to grace the stage with her free flowing persona.
GemCityShine Report:
Badu is a go.
Talib Kweli -
Kweli, one of Dave's guys who he linked up with during the Chappelle Show days as well, is one of Chappelle closest peeps, and is always on deck for the Yellow Springs native.
He teamed with Cincinnati native Hi-Tek to produce some great hits over the years.
GemCityShine Report:
Expect Kweli to show up. And provide a serious impact. A sleeper to steal the show.
Jay-Z / Beyonce - Gametime Decision
There are reports that Hov and Bey have made their presence in the dyt. However it looks more like a created pic than the Billionaire duo being spotted.
However, with all the other stars who are in attendance, it would not be out the ordinary to see Hovito and the Queen in the Gem City.
Jay has a family member who was playing for the Dayton Flyers, and has ties. So its not out of the question.
GemCityShine Report: Wait and See
Feeling a Beyonce and Jay might pop up.
Why not?
Bradley Cooper
While Cooper is not a Music Artist, he did do a movie with Gaga, and there have reports that Cooper was in the Dyt already.
Cooper, the superstar Actor who help make the Hangover movies popular, is at the top of his game.
GemCityShine Report: Wait and See
Cooper would not be a suprise, as he and Gaga are tight. But will Cooper be singing too? Or just supporting the cause?
The Original Kings and Queens of Comedy:
Wait and See
We know someone will show up, but who will it be?
Cedric the Entertainer or Steve Harvey, or both?
And who for the ladies?
There are reports of other stars as well, (Jill Scott, Biz Markie) so we will see how it goes down.
But make no mistake, Dave Chappelle is the mastermind of the event.
And it will be a gamechanger.
Pray for the ones lost and hurt.
Forever.
But now is the time to Embrace the new Dayton.
The Oregon District Sunday will be historic.
Thanks Dave.
Goat Status.
