Violence at Rap shows is one of the worst things on earth. Backwards!

Crunk era got a few joints we used to get rowdy too. Throw it up would have the whole E-Club throwing up sets lol

Hell yeah…


Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins made u wanna take your shirt off and wave it…

Crunk was a fun era. If your music ain’t having a influence such as getting off your ass, u ain’t trying hard enough.


U gotta possess the listener and get inside their soul

The 80s in New York did it right, the Stretch and Bob era did it the best - and it regressed from there.

...so you been to Latin Quarters in the late-80s ?! . . ..Union Square ?!?!! . . Tunnel on Sundays in the early-90s ?!!?! . . . .

Which part of the midwest?

I saw that same pattern in different Missouri cities. A new spot would open with a decent upscale black crowd. Eventually nikkas would find out about it and want to start showing up. Within a few weeks fights would break out or shots would get fired. Metal detectors would get installed and things would calm down for a few weeks. Eventually nikkas carrying heat would just parking light pimp and a fight would break out after the club closed with more shots fired and police swarming. The professional black folks would stop showing up and eventually the club would close down.

I barely avoided being pepper sprayed as the cops ran up in a few of them spots.

Nebraska and yup happens exactly like you described, decent crowd, hood finds out, fights inside. Dudes parked out, shooting. Shutdown.

A big part of why Hip Hop created in the South Bronx was to release aggression and resolve street beef like real men. Men with heart.

My girl did some promo for a venue recently.

I asked if I could throw a show there.

Typical response "Oh no, the owner doesn't do live hip hop shows. They're problematic"

Luckily I know venues that will.

It's been like this since 2000 and before.

You try to win them over by talking lighter hip hop. Conscious, not gangster or trap.

It's scary.

So when artists are lucky enough to set venues and people beef in the crowd? Fight? Use weapons?

Those people are a poison to this culture.

It's scary. But I plan on doing a show in Toronto this year, like I have for years.

Cruh how long you been an artist in the city and dont realize the town dont/wont/cant book local rappers. Even when someone does book a show as soon as police catch wind they go straight to the venue and apply pressure and 9 x outta 10 the venue caves.

Aren't you from RX? Why would you even want to perform in the city with all the dusty driftwoodians and PC goof crashouts from Jungs looking to catch a name brand from the Towns?? Or you got that metal to make em sekkle huh?

You ever play wednesdays at Caddys back in the day? IYKYK.

 

[KingSol81]

Bro, thank you for that.

This is fukking bullshyt.

I still know bars in Toronto that do this.

But honestly, Hip Hop as a whole needs to change this.

The 80s in New York did it right, the Stretch and Bob era did it the best - and it regressed from there.

YouTube is great and an innovation.

But music is best live!

You realize everyone was getting box cuttered up in NYC clubs in the 80s and 90s right?

. .. the baggy clothes from the 90s was to hide juxx tools . .. wasnt meant to be for the 42 year olds with high blood pressure and anxiety cosplaying CHRIS PALKO

 

[Crumple]

Most modern rap "concerts" are trash anyway, 25 mfers on a stage with the rapper showing up to the performance 2 hours late to just stand there and walk back in forth while smoking weed with his skinny jeans hanging off his ass crack and a audio track of said rapper's songs playing in the background.

Pure garbage

Okay. So in general people don't care about hip hop shows anymore? Do Coli brehs hit up local shows?

 

[bourgeoisie tall freak]

some girl did try to fight me at a trav scott show. but we know that's not a typical hip hop crowd, they are purposely try hard edgy

Word. I once went to a great emcees show. He was overweight. These two chicks in front of me were dissing him and his weight for so long - so I rapped all his rhymes very loudly near them and they dipped.

Fandoms in dope crowds. It's prolly cause they were there for headliner. Chicken heads. Both artists are legends, both are dope AF.

But fanbases don't always translate, if ever - genuinely.

KRS threw PM Dawn out the stage, that was the standard back then.
