Busta Rhymes
Jay-Z
The Roots
Kanye West (Glow In The Dark is the BEST HIP HOP SHOW visually and artistically)
? & Red
DMX
Lil Wayne -

-
Glow in the dark=GOAT tour

kanye is dope for real... he really puts on a show... there isnt 100 homies on stage its all him... pyrotechnics, amazing visuals and a great voice.... seen 2 of his tours so far....
roots are really nasty too... switchin up the beats to their songs on some off the top ? , extended versions, black though freestyles... sick
ive seen jay twice, the first time i wasnt really imprssed but this last time i saw him with the live band he was album quality... i really like the fact that a lot of artists are using live bands now because their voices sound so much better when the beat is equalized by a band and they dont have to scream over the speakers...
WAYNE IS WACK in concert.... seen him twice (once w/ my ex, once w/ my lil sis).... he shows up late, shows up ? up, and smiles like a ? ? and giggles the whole show lol
t.i. was ok, nothing special....
common sounds really good live and drops some dope frees
krs is nice live... really enthusiastic and always plays long sets....
wu-tang is really sick live too... ? and ghost kinda steal the show though with their energy... the 1st time i saw them there was some goofy ass white dude with a denim suit on dancing backstage around like 30 black dudes lol... i remember making fun of how funny it looked with my friend, than in the middle of the show they were talking about how they have the best fans and said they even had some famous ones and introduced quentin tarantino... the goofy ass white dude lol... he took the mic and ? for a minute... it was pretty dope
busta, dmx are RAW
that whole up n smoke tour was ridiculous as was anger management.
you will never be disappointed at a rock the bells show... always quality music...
i've seen so many shows ive def didnt mention them all but these were the really good ones off the top -
Lil wayne point blank!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jay boring as ? live from what I heard lol -
My top favorites are Kanye West he can give emotional performance,
I like Jay z,
I love Kid Cudi cuz you never know what's gonna happen
I also like Q-tip. -
honestly, its probably lil wayne
-
The two illest I saw was probably KRS and Common.
I saw both perform at a college with a predominately white crowd and rocked it! I was amazed they were able to get the whites and asians going.
Common spit a dope freestyle about Buffalo and the areas and events in the city (afterwards I found out he does with every city, but its still dope that he takes the time out to get to know the city, and remember the names for a freestyle! I even saw a video where he actually visited Niagara Falls, and he was on that "Mother Earth is so beautiful BS he be on")
And KRS he the epitome of MC - Move the Crowd. He's big. He's loud. He's dope. And he freestyles off the top, too. -
yeah common is crazy live, he knows how to rock ?
-
As far as energy, i would go Busta, LL, KRS, KRS
As far as control, Jay-z,Roots,Dougie Fresh, Slick Rick -
Yeah, far as actual crowd control and energy I'd go with Busta. Then people like Method Man, Common, Ludacris, L.L., and the Roots.
But then there's the emcees who actually go the extra creative mile to make the stage more excitin and theatrical. Kanye got the best stage show ideas, then prolly Wayne, Snoop, etc.
Lowkey though, even though he ain't a rapper, T-Pain>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> -
LL, KRS, Busta, Naughty By Nature puts on spetacular shows !! I wasn't feeling De La Soul too much and Digable Planets are tight. MC Hammer when he was hot was sick live, Heavy D & The Boyz also. Rakim is ok, nothing worth talking about. Big Daddy Kane was straight also.
