Lt. Al Giardello 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2008 Just curious, have any Nas fans actually seen him in concert? He's coming here to Calgary in May, and I'm really considering getting tickets. Can someone tell me how good he is live? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 It depends. Usually he forgets the words to his songs, and isn't very energitic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ripper 0 Report post Posted April 20, 2008 Much like most rap concerts (with few exceptions) its a whole lot of standing around, holding the mic to close to his mouth, running out of breath and then just saying "COMEON" and pointing the mic at the croud for a few seconds to catch it. For the life of me, I don't understand paying for most rap concerts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Craig Th 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 The only rapper I saw live was DMX and he was energetic the whole time. Nor did he forget any of his words. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted April 21, 2008 Ha... the only rap I've seen live was ICP. And even if you hate them, that's a good show. Long as you don't mind being covered in soda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CBright7831 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 I was going to make a seperate thread for this but I saw this thread and thought I should post it here. Has anyone heard the song "Be A N*gger" off of Nas's album titled N*gger? It sounds like hes got hs flow back and everything. I havent heard Nas sound this passionate since 2002. http://www.zshare.net/audio/1089171363ef0247/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Truthiness 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 That's a awesome song, I've often wondered why nobody has ever used that as a hook before. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Precious Roy 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 I saw Nas on a leg of the Rock the Bells tour and he had by far the best set. His rhyming was tight, nothing freestyled really but he was really energetic and passionate and he switched things up in the right places, and he had a lot of stage presence. Wu-Tang came on after him and they couldn't follow it, the crowd had already peaked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

migoli 0 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 Not that I was expecting a great show but I seen Three 6 Mafia in concert and was ultra let down. They showed up over 3 hours after the show started and were up for MAYBE 20 mins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FroGG_NeaL 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2008 Best rappers to see live: The Roots 2Pac - on tape, obviously Snoop - always brings it The Up In Smoke Tour - Snoop, Dre, Cube, Em, Xzibit, D12...and most of them put on consistantly good shows Cypress Hill Rakim Red and Meth - fuckin rock stars, walkin on the crowds hands and shit... ICP - KISS with rapping P Diddy and the Fam - doesn't tour anymore, but the 97 show was emaculate DMX - man, he keeps you hype the entire time, and the payer is fucking crazy. Busta - enery like a mofo, intercts with the crowd That's all i can remember off the top of my head that I've been really impressed with. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
