I do. But I must say, there is a large white presence in many hip hop concerts these days. Not a total bad thing but sometimes surprises me.

ive been saying this for years, btw. some of yall should subscribe to me.
this is also why i laugh when the media & people on here try to crown dudes like Kendrick & drake as kings, while they perform to a sea of white fans. nothing wrong with white fans. but just saying, those crowds would be a lot blacker if they are what they claim they are.

again, you will see more black people at concerts of rappers who are only bubbling in the black community. Oldschool R&B musicians and Neo Soul acts also will have a ateast half to pred black audience.

That's part of it, but another part of it is a lot of rappers are so damn lazy on stage. How many have their crew rap the lyrics then want you to rap the lyrics, then it's a bunch of inaudible bullshyt that winds up giving you a headache. R&B concerts are much different and usually have a strong black attendance rate because it's a more relaxed vibe. Speaking for myself i don't want to go to rap concerts because there's going to be a large white presence shouting "nikka" along with the song.

Some of them might not be that invested in music to see a live show 
Concerts are the shyt though.

Not entirely true. It's just that ones with it aren't wasting it on music/concerts but more like materialistic things.
I stopped going a while ago because I was tired of all the fighting and shooting going on. It was a part of life back in my teens and 20s, but I couldn't deal with that shyt no more. And, I really didn't feel like paying trumped up prices just to go subpar concerts anymore.
Wrong
Rap concerts are equivalent to parties, you not even focused on the performer cause you're having so much fun dancing and rapping to live music

In general we dont. Even the material things us as black people buy isn't really disposable income, it's usually us taking away from one thing to pay for another. Obviously this isn't for all but a lot.

youre talking about the bum ass niccas that's just plain broke.
concerts, particularly rap shows are the epitome of materialism. especially if theyre held in clubs where you can party, buy drinks and all that riff raff.
and while there, you show off all your other materialistic chit.
I don't know where everybody is from on here but 90% of the shows I attend in any city are majority black. in a lot of cases, darn near 100% black. only ones that aren't are '90s legacy acts.
people just go to shows for corny rappers, and are somehow surprised at the turnout.
