Do it. I've seen him 3 or 4 times, and he puts on an outstanding show. Also, let's give some props to his backup band, who he has had since the beginning. They also do an amazing job of replicating the original sounds.
The last tour just ended a couple of weeks ago, so you'll have to wait a bit.
Also, this fine quote:

Years ago, Coolio really got peeved when "Weird Al" Yankovic made a parody of his "Gangsta's Paradise" with "Amish Paradise." Chamillionaire apparently has a better sense of humor. He thinks it's quite funny that Al flipped "Ridin" into "White and Nerdy."
"He's actually rapping pretty good on it, it's crazy," Cham said last week. "I guess [Al's camp] reached out to my management and asked if they could do it. He's Grammy-nominated, man. He goes platinum. It's really an honor when he does that. I remember when he redid Michael Jackson's 'Bad' ['Fat']. Weird Al is not gonna do a parody of your song if you're not doing it big. You gotta be a big dog. He shot the video, and people will see it pretty soon. It's crazy.
"He's spittin' just like Krayzie Bone on the second verse," Cham added. "It's actually very funny if you listen to what he's saying. The way Krayzie is harmonizing, he does the same thing. It surprised me. I didn't know he could rap like that. Just when you think 'Ridin' was gonna stop, something happens to make it bigger. I hear sportscasters on EPSN referencing it. Go to Jamaica, they're playing it. It won't stop." ...
