Been to plenty of shows...first Hip-Hop show was Raekwon though
Yeezus show was surreal. HRD is right though, I could definitely go to most shows and just not buy a game or two that year, but I don't. I usually end up seeing tour dates for artists I like and being like "cool, I'll get a ticket as time approaches" and just forget. I'll look to amend that tho.

Mos Def circa 2001. Got in thanks to my cousin being a groupie.
my friend had an extra ticket and invited me to go with him (wasn't a huge fan of the group then and i still am not), but i'm glad i went, because it mainly was a secret waka flocka show
though i found out a few nights later that kanye and jay z were playing in atlanta the same night....
david bowie and duran duran. glass spider tour. DOPE!
first rap show was beastie boys in 92

Enzo probably hasn't heard more than 3 songs from either of them lol.
Thug is artist of the year, TBH. The amount of bangers he's put out in the past year (and stuff at the end of 2013 that was bubbling this year) is ridiculous. It's not always some bullshit either, I love his verse on Old English because he's spitting some shit. Dat imagery:
Had a little soda, put the tan on it
I got the shit for the L-O, I think my Shawty want it
I drink more mud than a pig, I think pork want me
And the front of the Mas-i look like a fork don't it?

Nah, I used to know this chick who stanned 80s acts heavy and this was around Graduation came out. Would be tryna put her on on the bus ride home but all she'd play is Duran Duran and New Kids on the Block.

I saw Usher and Kanye back in 2004 when Confessions was huge at that point. Then I saw Kendrick Lamar and Black Hippy last year in June was pretty fucking hype the whole time. I ended 2013 with Yeezus with Kendrick as the headliner and :wow: that was a experience brehs. This year my friend paid my way to the Flatbush concert two weeks back in Houston was cool even though I don't fuck with their music like that.

I used to watch Blu sets on youtube during my stan days...sometimes he was dope, other times he had zero energy and you could tell Exile was carrying him.
Must suck to see TDE, Nipsey, and a host of other west coast acts lap you doing shit you perfected nearly a decade ago.

I started off going to punk / metal shows in middle school but the first rap gig I went to was Clipse at some Pepsi studio

Don't see what's wrong with this, seems pretty true to the music and preferable.
I love Her Favorite Colour.
But everything recently. Just can't get into it. Like his Good to Be Home album this year. It was just the definition of okay at best. Damn shame because he was one of my favourites in the game. Still is for his earlier material.
Give Me My Flowers was pretty dope, but that was recorded years ago.

Yeah, that's kinda how this set was. He wasn't bad, I'm glad I went, but it was a little disappointing.

I really liked Johnson&Johnson and HerFavColour. They were dope projects that dominated my iPod for months. I thought he was truly That Dude, in a way that I had never really felt about a new-ish rapper outside of Phonte back when LB came out and Jay Elect. I'm not even that diehard about Kendrick.
However I will say that HerFavColour wasn't what I wanted as a fan. I remember the frustration of Blu's production, sampling nonstop from 40s and 50s records and rapping very mellow; at the time I was sort of in a dark place though, so eventually it clicked with me...too well. Today I understand that it was him trying to move away from the Blu & Exile sound, shrinking from the spotlight and dealing with depression. People forget but Blu had labels knocking his door down.
If he had come out a couple years later his career might have been quite different. Instead the class that came after him (Cole, Drake, Kendrick, etc) took off and never looked back.

Where do you put Trap God 3 Des? Just started listening to it and I think it's great. I'll have to check out the other ones on your list though for comparison.

My first concert was a Beyonce one with my cousins, since they got free tickets. But the first one I paid for was a Black star concert like 2-3 years ago.
Trap god 3 = big Gucci >>>> mr perfect
I don't know what this means breh
Gucci makes me feel like hurting people though, I doubt that's a good thing... Anyone else? lol
It ain't no Mr. Zone 6. I'm a big Gucci fan, but I feel like his tapes are always really front loaded and contain only a few true keepers. He needs to filter out some of the filler. I like most of those tapes more. I favor a different kind of trap.
Remix is awesome brehs.
