Mar 20, 2025 I've seen Kendrick Danny Brown Saba Mobb Deep Playboi Carti (not sure it was really him though) Jurassic 5 Kendrick put on the best show, probably because the crowd was huge and there was more money for the production etc it was the d--- tour. Danny brown and Saba were really good, and didn't use mic assist. Carti was so bad to the point Im convinced it was a stage double Not many rappers come to this side of the world, and half of them get their Visa denied lmao.
Mar 20, 2025 seen Eminem in London 2018 however only managed to get a seated ticket which was super far back so didn't feel like I got the full experience also seen Rome Streetz, Conway and Pusha T live, Pusha's energy was unmatched imo Also got tix to see Kendrick live this summer in London
Mar 20, 2025 Excluding local rappers, Em is the only one i've seen live in 2011. The performance was good, aside from a few mic issues when Royce came out. I think bands are better live
Mar 20, 2025 Oh my god! You really Saw him? You Saw Eminem?!! Did he sign your starter Cap, Was he with Kim? I’m so f---ing jealous
Mar 20, 2025 a lot lol, many from music festivals cuz I've been goin to them since like 2005 but also many regular shows off top: Kendrick x4 Kanye x6 (two were Donda listening shows so he wasn't rapping but was still a show) Wu-Tang clan x3 Odd Future x2 Tyler solo x2 Danny Brown x3 Isaiah Rashad x2 Vince Staples x4 De La Soul x2 Chance the Rapper x2 Travis Scott x2 Young Thug x2 GZA solo Freddie Gibbs & Madlib Lauryn Hill Playboi Carti Nas Busta Rhymes Future Meek Mill YG Megan The Roots A Tribe Called Quest OutKast Kid Cudi Del the Funky Homosapien Lupe Fiasco A$AP Rocky A$AP Ferg Schoolboy Q E-40 Gucci Mane Pusha T 2 Chainz Amine Lil Yachty Talib Kweli Macklemore in 2005 when he was local lol The Blue Scholars Andre Nickatina Ying Yang Twins also seen The Weeknd and SZA x2 as far as rap adjacent goes probably a bunch more I'm forgetting lol best: yeezus tour, OutKast, The Roots (black thought is the best live rapper I've seen prob) Worst: Gucci Mane (came out 20 min late and left 15 min early for an hour set), Ying Yang Twins (it being horrible made it better it's exactly what I wanted for $15)
Mar 20, 2025 The best show a 15 yr old white boy could ask for, me and my friends talked to him for a minute after the show lmao
Mar 21, 2025 f---. Man I've seen soooo many concerts that I'm sure I can't remember them all. I'll try to list them though. I'm my 20's: Eminem x4 50 Cent x5 Xzibit x2 Snoop & Pharrel Lil Jon Obie Trice x2 Cypress Hill The Game x2 Pharoah Monch Chingy Jadakiss Kanye West x3 Jay Z Will Smith Ice Cube I was front row for most of those and slapped hands with Em, Kanye, Jadakiss, 50 and Snoop. Lil Jon poured tequila in my mouth and I was able to get on stage with The Game. In more recent years: Eminem again 50 Cent again Ice Cube again Snoop again Nas & Wu Tang Kendrick x2 Dre, Snoop & Eminem Out of those I met 121 Snoop and Ice Cube and I had dinner with 50 Cent along with about 15 other people. The best gig I've ever been to though was the Dre, Snoop & Eminem gig in London. It was only last year and there were less than 500 people there. It was all corporate sponsors so I was one of the very few people there who were actual diehard fans. That was a pure bucket list and "life completion" moment for me right there. I've probably missed a few but I've been to some great concerts!
Mar 21, 2025 Holy s--- ice cube and dkc lmao I've seen Snoop Eminem Jay Z Jay & Kanye I also had tickets to Nicki x Future but last minute they replaced Future w Juice Wrld so I asked for my money back and got it lol. I wanted to see Future. I wanna see Kendrick live when he returns and some others. All shows I've been too were f---ing great but the WTT one... Jay/Kanye. It was EPIC! So that one.
Mar 21, 2025 I have seen Yelawolf live a couple times due to his SLUMFEST festival he was putting on in Nashville every year, and I saw him at The Ryman as well. Those SLUMFEST concerts were nuts lol, I was like 11-12 years old watching all these people mosh to songs from Trunk Muzik. I unfortunately have not seen many rap artists live, because a handful of my favs just don't come to Nashville! Travis had his Utopia tour in Nashville though and oh my god, probably top 5 nights of my life. Amazing concert and a dream concert. So glad I was able to go. This year however, I do get to see Carti live at The Weeknd tour and this summer, I am travelling to see Tyler! Both concerts are going to be amazing and I cannot wait
Mar 21, 2025 Also some more i forgot: Digable Planets Run the Jewels Brother Ali Lyrics Born T.I. Atmosphere Joey Badass Big Boi solo G-Eazy (music festival lol)
Mar 21, 2025 I thought i would have the most unk-status artists on here but I think @icecube has me beat in unk rap. I def win in the dusty a--- backpack department tho I've seen both Digable Planets and Playboi Carti I'm a true man of culture
Mar 22, 2025 I also forgot I saw Royce and 2Chainz because they were w Eminem And D12 with Snoop lmao
Mar 22, 2025 Jay & Kanye (2012) J Cole (2013) Eminem x2 (2013; 2014) Kendrick x3 (2015; 2017; 2022) The Weeknd x2 (2017; 2023) Dave (2021) Best: Jay & Kanye, Em (2014), Kendrick (2017), Weeknd (2017). All amazing shows. Hard to pick a fav from this list because they were so good in different ways but I'm leaning towards WTT (was my first ever concert at 17 y/o and was an incredible experience). Worst: Dave, Weeknd (2023). These shows weren't bad as such but compared to the rest were nothing special. Dave is a great rapper and has some bangers but felt like his stage presence wasn't really there when I saw him. The Weeknd show in 2023 was in a jam packed arena where visibility was poor and too many people. Thread has made me realise I need to see more shows dammit!
