Why is it that they give every one on stage a microphone and then the artists “posse” all yell the last word of every line? so fucking annoying… ---

rap in concert sucks but thats not to say that all the artists cant perform live. some good examples r even on Chapelle show. alot of the ppl on there came on and ripped shit and it was awesome (ex. mos def, kwelli, gza, kanye etc…) ---

Roots live \> \* i’m not big on concerts in general…but the Roots show is real good. kinda off subject, but took the wife to see Brain McKnight a few years back & it was probably the best live performance i’ve ever see. you know how a lot of artists don’t sound quite as good live since there is a lot of cleanup before an album is finalized…well he sounded as good or better then on CD. its was QUALITY!! ---

yeah. ive seen the roots live about 3 times. awsome show. I def agree that most live rap concerts suck ass. I was so dissapointed back in 1997 when i saw wu tang with rage against the machine in starlake. ---
