yeah ive always wanted to go to one. last time he was in town he was at house of blues though!! steppin his shit up

but techn9ne is an example of a dude who puts effort into his shows...like plans shit out before hitting a stage or going on tour right? does he ever travel with a live band?
He doesn't travel with a band but I think after he puts out kabosh I believe he will have a live band. His dj is awesome. He puts alot into his performances. You can tell as soon as he comes out.



The band I really want to see is the roots and then I want to see snoop.

I want to see shinedown on some rock shit.

Most rap shows suck because the levels seem to be off half the freakin time too. The setup is usually garbage and a lot of times they'll perform in places that just aren't geared towards that type of music.

I don't know if it's just me, but crowds tend to be louder, so dudes shout over the crowd which doesn't help.

Also, don't give 15 dudes a mic on stage to rap with you at the same time, it sounds like crap. Especially when 13 of them can't rap and just happen to know the words.

Messy Marv was cool in concert when I saw him, Digital underground were cool but they had some live instrumentation which always sounds better. Everyone else I've seen sucked

I saw Yelawolf live a few weeks ago. He killed it for not having that much space on stage and for not having that much people in the crowd to feed his energy off of. For rock I would say Sevendust puts on one hell of a show.

Black Thought from The Roots, Zumbi from Zion-I, and Jay-Z were a few that I remember that were actually performing and just weren't screaming at the top of their lungs with 5,800 goons on stage.


But again, I'd much rather hear a band live...especially if they're playing reggae! *Blows reggae horn*
Roots give the greatest live show of any performers I've ever seen. That's why I've seen them soooooo many times. Zion I is coo, I saw them live a few times at La Pena back in the day. But Jay-Z was boring as hell. he wasn't screaming, but he had the entire Roc-a-fella crew and their familia on stage with him. it was absurd. he came out on a lowrider bike with pyrotechnics, that shit was corny.

RAPPERS IVE SEEN THAT WERE DOPE LIVE:
jurassic 5
krs 1

the screwed up click (lil keke,pokey, hawk r.i.p., esg... etc)
wu tang
immortal technique
tech n9ne
slick rick
erykah badu
devin the dude
ice cube
eminem
t-pain (seriously)
beastie boys with mixmaster mike

also someone said oakland rappers are wack live.. f.a.b. is dope as fuck live, and so is too short. and i bet the livewire show is gonna be crackin next month out here
I saw the bolded ones, they were all pretty good, I'm sure eminem is better now than when I saw him, it was at a lyricist lounge event where he opened for black eyed peas with de la soul hosting. this was when BEP's first album had just came out and they didn't have the bitch in there, they were pretty good as well. Eminem's "debut" album hadn't come out yet, but "My Name Is" was just released.

This is my list as best I can remember. I've seen some really good acts and some real bad ones:

GREAT
Snoop Dogg
Tech N9ne
Brotha Ali
Tribe Called Quest
Jurassic 5
Chali 2Na
Rakim
Big Boi
The Roots
People Under The Stairs
Dilated Peoples
Potluck (never heard of them till I saw them live)



NEUTRAL
Atmosphere
Murs
Nas
AZ
Living Legends
NERD
Jedi Mind Tricks
Public Enemy
Lil Wayne


BAD
Bone Thugs
E40
Wu Tang Clan
Pharcyde
Dead Prez
Busta Rhymes
Slaughterhouse
Lauryn Hill
Lil Kim
DMX
Chingy
Young Money
Aesop Rock
Clipse



There's only been three times a concert was so bad that I LOL'd at the act and wanted my money back: Bone, Busta, Lauryn Hill
I saw busta when "put your hands where my eyes can see" had just came out, I think EPMD opened, busta was alright, but he performed that song 3 times in a row. He started and the whole crowd went crazy, stopped after the second verse and said "fuck that, y'all ain't loud enough" then started it over.....twice. Lauren Hill I saw twice. First time was when her album had came out, it was dope, Outkast opened and killed it with 2 front halves of Cadillacs on stage, a DJ & half a band....then L-Boogie came onstage with like a 20 piece orchestra and later brought out Carlos Santana. That show was dope as fuck. Next time I saw her she was in her acoustic phase and she just played by herself with her guitar. that was pretty boring.



Who I saw that was memorable:
The Roots
Outkast
Radiohead
Redman
KRS-1
Wu-Tang (also saw Ghostface individually, but he brought up Rae, Rza & Cappadonna)
Rage Against The Machine
Moby (was actually pretty dope)
PPP (Platinum Pied Pipers - dope as fuck!)


I've seen hella people live tho, I love concerts.
