I haven't been but I've watched videos of Jeezy live and when the audience is there for him, not like some festival shit then he is so live. It's just like I imagined everyone knows the words and Jeezy is like the pastor at church. I have to see go next time he is in London, anyone here seen Jeezy live?
New around here so forgive me if this has been posted before, but I searched through the past few GAF-HOP threads and didn't see this posted. It's new (newish now) Arrested Development.

good to see a dude actually rapping at his show.
would love to see kendrick sometime..
So, I'm listening to No Love Lost. Not all the way through it yet but I'm getting mixed feelings about it already.
Aside from that, Last Day came out of nowhere. This song goes hard as fuck. Buddens putting other rappers who make these kind of songs to shame, but on top of that, I didn't expect Lloyd Banks to spaz out like he did either.
And this is what gives me mixed feelings, this is the best song on the album thus far and it's completely deviant of what Joe is known for and known for doing best. And not what I want from him, but it works.

A$AP rolling with Kanye's crew and having a "be different" mentality is exactly why I expect him to blow up, stay more relevant than his contemporaries, and be the most likely to push boundaries in terms of all aspects of his musical career, including touring.

Kendrick doesn't have the voice or stage presence to be truly hype live, IMO. Same with a lot of rappers these days: short ninjas with low voices. Whereas the 80s and 90s were full of rappers with preacher voices and true stage presence. Go watch 2pac's HOB performance, shit is crazy.
Also crowd's seem to respond better to legends, and I'm not sure this generation of rappers has any; Drake probably comes the closest. Wayne is a legend in people's eyes and makes hype music, they go crazy live for it. Whereas most new rappers today have marketed themselves as fans/nerds/losers/etc who became rappers. Nobody looks at J Cole like they do Kanye, or Krit like they do TI. I've heard Krit is great live which makes sense tho: he has the voice and the music.

Kendrick, KRIT, Danny Brown, and yes I must admit Yelawolf are amazing live.
i saw krit open for jcole last year and krit killed it. much better than cole who was still pretty good.
I just downloaded this because I heard their song Wingz on Songza. I haven't listened to it all yet, but that Wingz song, damn.
This is going way too unnoticed. Holy fuck this is a crazy sound. It's so different yet so obviously AraabMUZIK. He has such a good sound. Him and Clams are two producers I have no idea why everyone is not jumping on to work with. They kill it every fucking time.
This is insane.
That is pretty awesome. Clam's is good, but he's the worst producer on Tri-Angle records.

I don't think anyone is saying he isn't enjoyable to see live. I feel like that is what a lot of yall are reading despite us not saying that

Kendrick's great live. Only gripe I have is how many lyrics he skips out on. Not sure if its breathing problems or something but it can get annoying
Yeah, HiRes put me on to suicideyear with that Hard in the Paint remix and I posted their remix compilation a while back.
It's too bad that they're charging too much for it now. $7 for 7/8 tracks is a but much. http://thewaverycollective.bandcamp.com/album/remixess
They have a free download for it though. http://www.mediafire.com/?8fqzedg1sivh0g1
I've noticed this in his performances too, kinda irks me when watching it. Expects the crowd to fill in for like half of his lyrics instead of just like key lines here and there.
Way too early to tell if Kendrick is a "legend" or not. And that word shouldn't be thrown around Drake right now either. They are both just starting basically. As the artist grows I'm sure they will learn more about how to perform live. I want to see Kendrick live so badly.
(Keep in mind I have never been to a rap concert).

Love Krit, but he is not great live imo, he is milquetoast live.
said it before but will repeat that schoolboy opened for krit, and with a fifth of the crowd Q had the audience way more hyped than when krit made his entrance.
plus give me ghostface, talking about water for five minutes, or just waxing poetic with no beat, over this verse-chorus-verse-chorus, and im out, bs.
i believe it, but not the night i saw
I saw Q at Roseland for the ASAP tour and he was horrible. I blame the crowd not caring but dude legit flopped. I was the only person who cared. And Danny Brown was playing before half the crowd walked in. And then halfway through ASAP's set they did a bunch of horrible Mob songs and killed all his momentum.
That was a shitty concert that didn't have to be shitty.
Best part was Bath Salts. My favorite part was when ASAP Ant came on and legit everyone stopped vibing and then his verse came to an end and Meech sang the chorus and the whole place went live again. It was hilarious.

Why not, you live in the sticks?
Get this all the time. I live in between LA and SD, so I should get on that as soon as possible. Going to try going to Paid Dues to see Black Hippy.
PS3 is thee best cuz flocka said so.
Can't believe we still hearing 'DAMN SON WHERE'D YOU FIND THIS?' , bangers tho.

I like his song Riding round Town and the Remix featuring Kendrick and some other people.
Forgot who else at the moment.
Haven't really given any Caseys stuff a full listen
He also had some good features on some of the Odd future stuff

KRIT's concert in Toronto a couple months back was so live.
4eVaNaDay theme was so hype.
I saw Big Sean too a couple months ago, he was kind of drunk but he was still ight. Kinda did some weird things like taking off his shirt and touching himself and shit..
yea

Mecklemore Is My Favorite Wrapper
Macklemore has some stupid songs, but that album has a few pretty decent pop-rap-ish tracks too.
Rittz still bores me though guys. I'm just not as impressed at somebody rapping as fast as they can about bullshit as I used to be. I'm going to try listening to WJ again on the way home, traffic was especially heinous today so I may have just been pissy.
Eighty4 Fly is still fucking great.

LMAO that's too funny about Medium Sean
I don't think I could take an entire album of him. More features of him would be a great and a song or two is fine, but I would most likely get bored eventually.
Yela's addition to the hook is great on White Jesus and gives me hope for Country Cousins.
Edit: Sleep at Night was great too.

You should check out the Observatory in Santa Ana. The venue is kinda small and they have a lot of great hip-hop shows every now and then. Just this month Gucci Mane, People Under The Stairs and Del are coming through and Method Man will be there next month.
This kinda happened when Kendrick performed at my school. It was before GKMC dropped and Tyga was headlining the show. Dude still put on a great show, but a good portion of the crowd really didn't care about him. I mean, damn, the dude did Rigamortis and the group of girls next to me looked at me funny because I was the only one getting hyped.
This album is so fucking good man. A true classic, 100%. Love every single song. Cool hearing him go track to track like that.

Yeah I don't blame KRIT or even Cole for that show being whack, it was the audience and mostly the school that prevented it from being hype.
