I'd like to start seeing more live hip hop acts. I've listened for years, but weirdly enough, haven't attended many shows.
Anybody have any recommendations?
I'd like to see common, de la & the roots live. Anyone been to any of their shows? Apparently com does windmills now onstage..that would be hype.
My recommendation for any people is to see talib. I only saw him once...but it was sick. He had all the toronto bboys up on stage battling...very kewl. He knows how to rock a show.

A lot of times live hip hop isn't great because rappers shout too loud and so do their hype men. So what you get sometimes is a bunch of guys walking back and forth on the stage shouting into a microphone. But some artists are good live.
I've heard Talib freestyle and he's amazing at that. I believe you when you say he's great live.
I've also heard from a number of different people that The Roots kill live.

KRS is a great MC onstage (and on his music), but he does VERY long shows, so it does get a bit boring in the end... Eminem was great the first time he was in Holland. All other shows have been stadium shows, but I saw him in a club (Melkweg). D12 weren't that great, was a shame. But their show was pretty good. Cypress Hill also rocked when I saw em. |
