Who is the best live act in hip-hop?

So last Friday, I went to the wu-tang concert in Miami, and I had a pretty good time. The mics were pretty shitty, but got progressively better, and I really don’t think the crowd knew what was going to happen at the concert. Like when Method Man stood on the hands of fans to do ‘The Rockwiler’ the crowd proceeded to drop him, which lead to the weirdo standing in front of me who began screaming “Bring him over here! We can hold him; don’t worry Meth we got you!”

With the upcoming glow tour with Kanye, Lupe, and N.e.r.d. I thought I should tell you the best live acts in hip-hop

5. The Game
If you know The Game, then you’ll know hes for real. Game is good live because he gets into his tracks with the corwd he doesn’t just scream for a while then go off stage, and he is really good at playing the right songs at the right time



4. Sage Francis
Not many people know Sage, but he is my favorite rapper. For those who are fans of Sage you know that he is fucking insane on stage. Sage has a metal back round, for example he won scribble jam in a Metallica shirt. At Rock The Bells in New York he went on stage in an American flag pair of overalls, he also break dance at a lot of his shows.



3. Lil Wayne
I saw weez in October and wasn’t really expecting him to be much of a showman, but as soon as he stepped on stage he had an ora that made him larger than life. He even brought Baby on stage, I don’t even like Baby but I went fucking nuts because I wasn’t expecting it. But Weez makes you feel like its just you and him in the room. When he plays a song that you like its like he played it just for you.



2. Method Man
Meth is a sight to be seen. He loves the crowd and is amazing at getting love back. He makes the other Wu-Tang members on stage look dead. He stage dives, he interacts, and does it every show and never takes a break.



And the winner is…

1. Busta Rhymes
Now if you’ve never seen Busta bust live or even live on tv, your missing out. Him and spliff star interact almost perfectly on stage and there is so much energy its scary. Bust gets so into it sometimes you cant even understand what he is saying. He reserects summer jam every year he performs. He killed it in the rain a couple years back and remains the number 1 live act today. This video is one of my favorite performances of all time, despite the Lupe mess up.
