De La Soul and The Roots are the picks for me.

DMX
Doug E Fresh
The Fugees
Common

Lupe Fiasco is really good live. Breh can spit and really brings the energy. Dude is immaculate.

Never seen him live but I don't doubt this at all

 

[Deoji]

my picks are Jay-Z, Red and Meth, Black Thought and Phonte Coleman

EDIT: throw Common in there as well

[Champ_KW]

Any list without L.L. Cool J in it is null and void

 

[the cac mamba]

Tech 9 - I'm not even a fan but I ended up at one of his shows and was blown away. Dude makes ridiculous money on the road and now I know why. He put on one of the dopest shows I've ever seen. if he can impress a non fan them imagine what his real fans must be feeling.

DMX shows are fukking crazy.Dude puts a lot of energy into it.

i came in to say, i havent seen nearly enough rappers to answer this but i heard tech 9 puts on a fukkin SHOW

best i saw personally was nas

 

[soulfuljah]

I will always say MC Hammer...the live performance was his bread and butter. Had a brother wanting a Troop jacket back in the day





If I had to pick from someone now, it will be Tech N9ne; he always believe that the live show is what will get you right in the long run, and we can see that it paid off.

Black eyed peas get everyone

The roots get everyone

Yeah it's fukking amazing. It's like 2 hours of straight entertainment. The most organized rap show I've ever been to. He doesn't fukk around. I tell anyone if they have the opportunity to see him then they should.

Are you fools posting people that you've actually seen live??

If not then your answer is null and void.

Dudes talking Pac but aint never seen Paclive is kinda off.

KRS...and there really isn't a close number 2!

Hands down KRS One


But from what I've seen with my own eyes I have to add:

Puffy, Biggie, Fugees and Wu Tang.

 

[the cac mamba]

[tuckgod]

Busta Rhymes.

DMX.

DJ Quik.

KRS.

Public Enemy.

Method Man & Redman.
