Kendrick just Rippped Gov Ball...This walking L Nas...

[prophecypro]

As I was walking away, he did Nas is like and hate me now which were he was forgetting lyrics and out of breath for both. My thing is, if ppl r gonna put Nas in the same league as someone like Jay, his live show (where someone can truly show their MC prowess) better match up n it didn't. Kendrick's live show was 100000000x's liver n I'm a passive fan I don't even kno his records like that. His shyt was live as fukk. He had no band n no hype man (except his Dj a lil) and he had the crowd going insane.

Hate Me Now is so insane live though its like a drunk dude going HAM and the crowd was just mashing when he did it.


People dont really trip over the breath control because most rappers lack that and flub lyrics but he also goes in lyrically on songs live (His second verse on Distant relatives when he did live was increible when I saw them on tour no trips). and what he lacks in that he makes up for with a great live band and a lot of little improv bits (his chemistry with Green Lantern is dope).
He does do a TON of shows per year with no hype man on his own so he carries a lot of the weight but for the most part I can honestly say from the 7times I've seen (Once with Jay as well) cause he still puts in the passion

Worst thing you can say is that his show are loooong (he know does 2 hour shows almost) and given how diverse his catalogue is you're gonna get some chill out moments but he always bring it back


Kendrick is dope too and live shows remind me of early Em live shows but it also helps when you're hot in the moment (What made God Son tour so dope back in 2003 was that Nas red hot at the time and you could feel in the crowd) because of that you're shows will always have that atmosphere with the youngins

For the record my boy saw Nas and Kendrick both live this year and thought both were equally dope. Honestly I think it depends on how many artists you see live.

A dude who's even more polarizing live is Mos Def tbh Some appreicate the chillout instrumental vibe he has and other find it lulls. With Nas though he brings it back with those Hate me Nows and Made You Looks. Its a shame you missed out cause like I said others like Piffey seemed to have enjoyed the show

Nas sucks live, nothing new there.

You can't really compare him to Jay coz Jay purposely makes records that are easy to perform live. I genuinely think he does this on purpose.

 

[prophecypro]

Erroneous, he always performs songs off Reasonable Doubt

I've seen Jay 4 times in the past 10 years and the earliest he's gone back is preforming Where I'm From from In My Lifetime

Which ironically was ill because when he said the Biggie/Jay-Z/Nas line Made You Look suddenly came on and Nas came out (2006 Royal Albert Hall show that was the one where Chris Martin came out on Piano and joined both for Dead Presidents)

I wish he would do more Reasonable Doubt tracks but he knows the new fans arent familar with it. The only track he may do is Cant Knock The Hustle and thats if hes touring with Mary.

nikka made the thread disguised as a kendrick praise thread but really just a chance to try and hate on the gawd wit the rest of these cameL stans we see you doggie

Man Nas is one of my favs. I give him a hard time because he deserves it. It's not hate if it's the truth.

But like I said I've always liked how Nas redefined his set and hes seemed fine to me

Jay performed "Can I live" at his Barclay's concert... with that being said, dude still forgot some the lyrics to some of his songs, this was the last concert of the week at Barclay's too

Plus the documentary of those series of concerts, they showed him reading lyrics off of a paper for the songs he doesn't normally do in concert.

I think all vet rappers with deep catalogs forget lyrics from time to time. Even 50 forgot the lyrics to Back Down at that Dallas concert a year or two ago.

Every rapper does. I was watching his Amex show last year at SWSX and Jay does that thing where he forgets his lyrics and just nods his head to the crowd like "Yeah you know it" which is hilarious.


But like you've said most rappers do it and if you've seen a lot of rappers at a lot of shows it happens but they still have a good set overall and Nas and Jay are no different

The GOAT and the future GOAT

Nas is good live.. domt know what yall talmbout

I just think if youve seen him alot, his setlist order sometimes stays the same. Only knock cuz he should do You Owe Me and songs like that more often...

That song surprisingly rung off when I saw him at O2 Arena back in March. He did this Oochie Wally and You Owe Me after Smokin and Purple and I was like @ the girls dancing. Think you find it on youtube.
