Who Are The Best Live Performers? Keep It Real!

[DonKnock]

Some artists can make great tracks but they get on the stage and its just
After seeing Tiller's set on the Summer Scam stream yesterday, it reminded me that some people just ain't cutting it in their live element. MC is master of CEREMONIES, not master of studios


For example: fucc Drizzle but at least that clown has some damn stage presence about him


Who are some of the best performers nowadays and throughout hip hop history?

[unstoppable589]

Game, especially when he has a live band

 

[OnlyInCalifornia]

The best I've seen...

Snoop (when with a live band)
Nas (especially with Damian Marley)
Busta Rhymes (surprisingly enough, he has a lot of songs to go through depending on the vibe of the crowd.)
2 Chainz (A LOT of hit records to play, especially depending on the venue can get a lot of energy)
Murs
Redman and Method Man


Unhonorable mention to Kanye who i've seen twice and sucked both times, though to be fair it was earlier in his career.

 

[GREENandYELLOW]

The Roots have always been my favorite...but they can't really do tours anymore with the Fallon show going on.

Really liked Kendrick, Killer Mike and Common when I saw them as well. Big Boi was better than I expected...didn't know how I felt about seeing him without Andre, but he was good solo.

 

[Cloud McFly]

Hov
Kanye
Kendrick

 

[Nemesis]

jay
dmx
busta
naughty by nature
public enemy


in no particular order.....

 

[MIKE SPLEAN]

Jayz and Kanye

 

[Deltron]

forgot bout his live show was dope

e-40 tore the venue down when I saw him

The most disappointing was fukking Lauryn Hill. She rushed the fukk outta her "concert" and decided to improv the instrumentals w/ her band while singing her classics.
