    Just hip hop, off the top of my head-
    Wu Tang Clan (with ODB's son)-Probably 2012 in Milwaukee
    GZA solo doing Liquid Swords cover to cover- 2009 in Chicago
    RA The Rugged Man- 2007 in Milwaukee
    Busta Rhymes- Once at House of Blues in Chicago, also at Rock the Bells 2009 in Chicago
    Nas/Damian Marley- Rock the Bells 2009
    Lupe Fiasco- House of Blues Chicago, 2009 and in Milwaukee 2006/7
    Eminem- 2011 Lollapalooza
    Game- House of Blues 2009 Chicago
    Immortal Technique- Once in NYC late 2008 or early 2009, once in Chicago 2010
    Nas solo- House of Blues 2010
    Kanye West- Summerfest 2011
    Outkast- Summerfest 2014
    Snoop Dogg- In Chicago Malice in Wonderland era
    m--- and Red- ^opener for that show, were way better than the main event
    Talib Kweli- Multiple times in Milwaukee and Chicago
    KRS-One- Rock the Bells 2009
    Slaughterhouse- Rock the Bells 2009
    The Roots- Probably half a dozen times at least, Summerfest, Rock the Bells, other shows in Milwaukee
    Common- Chicago 2010
    Rhymefest- Chicago 2010 (this ended up being for the weird Michael Jackson project he put out)

    Chali 2na- Rock the Bells 2009

    The year I lived in Chicago from 2009-2010 was obviously the best time for having the opportunity to see a lot of good shows. There was a place near where I lived that had a lot of great shows and I am sure I am forgetting some, plus I am sure I am forgetting some from Milwaukee pre-2009.
    Haven't had the chance to get out as much the last few years, but only need to check Jay off the list and I'll have seen all the live shows I feel like I NEED to see. Would love to have a shot at seeing Cunninglynguists, never worked out so far.


    EDIT: found some old pictures on Facebook. Completely forgot that Bizarre as a solo act and Devin the Dude opened up for that Snoop Show, too.

    f---ing ridiculous

    s---, this is a trip down memory lane. I also won a mic signed by Talib Kweli at a show in Chicago at the House of Blues

    Yeah, it was good man. Considering how old he is getting and how long he has been in the game. Me and my partner actually left early because, I swear to god, he was just going through his whole discography. Not going to knock him for that. It was great to see somebody who really enjoys what they do and wants to give back to those that love his work.

    As far as rap goes I've seen almost all my favorites:

    - Kanye x2, Lupe Fiasco x1, Pharrell (w/NERD) x1, Pusha T x1 (Yeezus tour in Las Vegas & Glow in the Dark tour in Phoenix)
    - Eminem, D12, Obie Trice, Stat Quo, G-Unit, Lil Jon & EB (Anger Management 3 in Phoenix)
    - Childish Gambino x2, Danny Brown x1 (Camp tour and Because the Internet tour)
    - Gym Class Heroes (performed at ASU - Travie was sick and it was pretty bad)
    - Chamillionaire (small local venue lol)
    - Snoop Dogg & The Game (How the West Was Won tour in Phoenix)


    I'd like to see:
    - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis (they performed at some random Microsoft store opening here a few months ago but I didn't want to wait overnight to get tickets on a workday)
    - Big Sean (he performed here Super Bowl weekend but I didn't find out til like an hour before)
    - B.o.B. (performed in Las Vegas recently but the 5 hour drive was too much)
    - Jay-Z/Beyoncé tour (too expensive)
    - Eminem/Rihanna tour (closest one was LA, 6 hour drive)
    - Ludacris
    - Obie Trice (I'd like to see a full concert)
    - Royce Da 5'9"


    I've probably seen 2x more non-rap concerts, my wife likes to see a lot. Most recently: Lana del Rey, Fall Out Boy, Lorde, Jenny Lewis. Brand New concert is next in May, then Taylor Swift in August.

    That's my concert history, thanks for reading. It took a long time to type on my phone.
