My top 3 hiphop concerts are...

3. Common
-it was ill when he was freestylin.. and he showed love to my city (west coast) cus as soon as the concert started.. a big cloud of weed smoke filled the ceilins.. he loved it.. this was when BE just came out so ppl were really fillin him

2. Talib Kweli
-the energy he brought to the concert was crazy.. ppl were chanting Talib Talib.. even after he was long gone.. esp when he performed recent hits like good to you and get by.. ppl were bouncing off walls


1. Mobb Deep
-this was crazy cus the venue was real small and i was standing at the front and literally inches from where they were perfoming.. we were touching Havoc all thruout the concert (no homo) but P was real scary when we touched him so we didnt touch him as much (lol)..

..when they performed quiet storm, shook ones, and have a party... omg

But the best part of the concer was when I GOT HAV's AUTOGRAPH!!
initially he wouldnt take my bloodmoney cd so i had my girlfriend ask for it.. hav came up during P's verse and just signed it -- "Havoc '06"
i posted a pic in the picture threads.. it was crazy!

1.KRS-One. No fucking Doubt. He was performing for more then 2 hours straight. Was just insane crowd went nuts when he performed The bridge is over.

2.Method Man. Energy man, pure energy. He constantly jumped into the audience and passed Blunts of 30cm into the public (Only happens in Holland) and his live performance was very good. With M.E.T.H.O.D MAN we just broke down the place Also Meth is dam charismatic.

3.Ice Cube. I still remember his words vididly ''You aint gon' take me back to 88 aight, cuz that shits real heavy. He performed all his NWA classics and alot of his older classic solo shit. I was right at the frontrow and I can tell you, his eyes say ''dont fuck with me''. of all rapprs Cube would be the worst one to mess with I think.



honourable mention: Jay Z. His Voice is crystal clear no stage. good performance but a little to commercial. Not a single RD track.


Worst; GZA. I love his records but live he is whack.

Method Man
Mobb Deep
Raekwon & Ghostface Killah

Yeah elementary, Meth was fucking insane. Jumping into the crowd and shit. He's definitely a showman. Mobb Deep was great as well. And yeah, I managed to peep them before they bullshitted with G Unit. When they performed Shook Ones, the place just exploded.. Rae and Ghost were nice too..

Nas in June!

I got tickets to see Nas on May 14th and the complete Wu-tang Clan on 13th july. Both in Amsterdam.

Somehow Hip Hop artists always like to visit Amsterdam and this usually results in a very good and willing show. Or a really whack show because the artists smoked too much (Mobb Deep)

young HJ

i guess amsterdam is one of those concert receptive cities.. so is where i'm from.. artists appreciate that

1. Best show I've ever been to was A Tribe Called Quest two years ago. It was their first show in EIGHT years. Absolutely out of control show, they played for about 3 hours, covered just about every song i could possibly want to hear. Mad guests were there also Gives me chills just thinking about it. Actually went to a Q-tip show a year later and Phife was there also so i basically got to see them twice

2. Probably Wu-Tang Clan or Black Star (seen em twice) at the Electric Factory here in Philly

3. Outkast. Amazing live performers....insane energy


Other people i've seen:

Ghostface
Jedi Mind Tricks
Mobb Deep (I was severely drunk for this, don't remember much lol)
Talib Kweli (seen him at least ten times)
RA the Rugged Man
Tech N9ne
Pharcyde...this was way back in the day, before fatlip left...great show
The Roots...seen them at least 7 times
Common (saw twice now....good performer, breakdances on stage and shit)
De La Soul
EPMD
Nas
Pharoahe Monch (Simon Says in concert was the most wild shit ever, NEVER seen a crowd go crazier)
Slum Village
Jean Grae (many times, she opens every philly show i swear)
Immortal Technique
Little Brother
DMX
Jadakiss (2x)
Fabolous (worst show ever)
Freeway
Reef the Lost Cauze
Hieroglyphics.....

Probably more that i'm forgetting...

1. Rock the Bells Tour last year...standout performers were definitely Wu-Tang (Method Man the most), Mos Def, Lauryn Hill, and Redman...Talib sucked and I'm glad he isn't gonna be at the one this year..

2. Zion I last year...it was such a small venue and no one was there cuz it was in Colorado and it was all snowy and shitty and people in Colorado hate on hip hop but I went and it was well worth it. Zion I has ridiculous energy.

3. Nas concert back in 02'. It was the same thing as the Zion I concert....it was a snowy ass night in CO and so no one was there so I was front row for Nas and he killed it.

Haha yeah i'm a major concert head. I'm catching the rock the bells show this year in New York and San Francisco. Can't wait.


Yeah this chick i've been messing with here and there is in love with him so we go whenever he's around and dude NEVER stops touring. Kweli is very hit or miss. Sometimes he's incredible and sometimes he's pretty weak. Better in small venues.

Fabolous literally only performed for 15-20 minutes and peaced out. Ver boring onstage. Luckily Jada came on after him and killed it

And yes swordsman, i live in the states lol, I see you've deciphered my post.

reading comprehension you worthless bag of rat shit. learn it
i clearly stated i dont go to "hip hop" shows, main reason being its full of cornballs like you who sway back n forth as ur favorite rapper performs on stage sweatin n shit bumpin into ppl like a dumb fuck.
its especially wack at shows featuring nerds like sage francis,whose fan base consists of introverted acne riddled teenagers with no life.

Saw those 2 in anaheim. Both were amazing and common is just full of energy running up and down the stage.

I saw 2mex and LMNO of the visionaries at a store called Stacks. They have about 1 concert a month in the store and its for free.
