Jay-Z was here 3 or 4 years ago but it was superbowl nite and he just did a show of an hour, but the crowd went crazy, never seen a better rapper live! DMX was very disappointing when he did a half-playback show for just an hour here, I think some of the US artist just see Europe as a good money making machine, they do not take us fans serious, that´s why the last concert of an US MC I went to was NAS, he was rockin shit as hell but also left stage after exact 60 minutes...and that for a ticket price of nearly 50 US$, neva eva!

He had all of G-Unit w/him & this was before they were gettin their shine & the boy Buck was @ home...it was electric. The Roots. Nuff said. Anybody who's a fan of music should see them live @ least once. I remember seeing Wu in like 97 maybe & it was some energetic shit. KRS solo, playing his whole catalog damn near in 95 maybe. Scarface in 97. 3-6, Ball & MJG around that same time too. PE in roughly '90. Seeing JLegend open for 'Ye after I'd been tellin folks all winter & spring that he was the nicest out & going to be next. I think just about every show I've ever attended had someone or some group nearing their peak & still crazy hungry. No lie, seeing 50 perform @ the height of GRODT was some shit.

Whether you were a world-renown rapper, a grimy street hustler, or a suburban white boy like myself, you were accepted. No questions asked. ----------------------------- That like every Bay concert mayne. Every city comes out, the 'burbs come out, all races, everybody just go stupid n' hopefully no one fucks off the night. Some of those one's in Marin get a lil' too burbish, but the girls love City kids so it's nothin'. If y'all go to the Pound or the Fillmoe in the Sco, shit finna be a little more cutthoat but it still go. The Up In Smoke Tour looked sick. I watched the DVD but obviously that ain't fuckin' with live. The best concerts I been too, was a Super Hyphy couple years back w/ E-40. The crowd was nuts the whole night which ended up in a telly. I saw a Messy Marv/Turf Talk one that was tight too n' got backstage where B-Legit n' Cellski were just posted. Tech N9ne was definitely the weirdest performance I ever saw live n' if I could've seen anyone live it woulda been Mac Dre or Cougnut, off top.

Truth Hurts (yeah I know), Cee-Lo, Lauryn Hill(post Fugees... Yeah, I know again), Jurassic 5, The Roots, Killah Mike, and Outkast. A close second would be the "Spitkicker Tour". De La Soul, Talib Kweli, and Common. That was one helluva Sunday night. My favorite show was “MTV Smoking Grooves”.
