Boostin' Kev Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 (edited) I've had my fingers burnt with tickets for US rappers a few times. Worst let downs was going to see Wu in 1996 but it was cancelled as we were about to board the bus to Glasgow and one for the Juice Crew in Edinburgh 10 years ago, Shante was good, Biz Markie couldn't be arsed and Kane never even turned up. Jeru and Souls of Mischief both in early to mid 2000's are probably the best I've seen. Edited May 13, 2016 by Pete Rockwell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 I've always thought the live rap experience looked a bit keich, so I've rarely bothered. Made an exception for Public Enemy at the Academy, though - brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 Somehow managed to forget about them in my last post. Really good when I saw them around 15 years ago in a festival at south of England and good in Edinburgh around 2006 although set was overlong with some guitar based stuff I didn't like much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw them a few years ago and was not impressed at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dosser-fae-the-shire Posted May 14, 2016 Share Posted May 14, 2016 My favorite is still old school Eminem, Dr Dre and Onyx. I can't see anything worthy in new kings like Drake and Kendrik Lamar. The other day I downloaded some ringtones here and came across Drake's Views. Well, I can't say there's anything truly outstanding there. Definitely not for his sales Onyx are still one of my favourites. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted May 15, 2016 Share Posted May 15, 2016 Ghostface was pretty good. Came onstage 45 minutes late, and only played for 45 minutes (have it on good authority he was paid £7,000 for playing) and got a bunch of randoms from the crowd to sing Protect Ya Neck, but the majority of the time he was onstage, he was great. Hearing Shimmy Shimmy Ya live was different class. If I had paid for my ticket (£20) I probably would've felt a bit ripped off, but since I had a freebie, I thought it was pretty good. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smurph Posted May 16, 2016 Share Posted May 16, 2016 Never been to a hip-hop gig before. Thought about it plenty of times but never bothered and I'm not entirely sure why. Digging Fat Tony rn. Few years old 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted June 3, 2016 Share Posted June 3, 2016 (edited) New Kanye ft. Gucci Mane, 2Chainz, Yo Gotti, Quavo, Travis Scott, Big Sean, Desiigner, Yo Gotti & Juicy J. https://soundcloud.com/nightsinoctober/champions-good-music Edit: speaking of hip hop shows Wu Tang were pretty good when I saw them a few years ago. Method Man was the only no-show. Nas was tremendous at the Academy last year. Edited June 3, 2016 by capt_oats 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted June 16, 2016 Share Posted June 16, 2016 YG dropped Still Brazy which is almost exclusively G-Funk that the only thing that seems to be missing is a Nate Dogg hook (RIP). Definitely an improvement on his last album even if the West Coast style gets a tad repetitive . Personal highlight for me is 'She Wish She Was' 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boostin' Kev Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 I've fallen behind with recent releases over the past month haven't listened to YG yet. Have liked some of his tracks previously so will give it a try but never really enjoyed a full album before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nizzy Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 KRS1 playing the O2 in Glasgow on Friday 8th of July. That's someone I'd pay money to see. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 He's the kind of emcee I'd imagine would come over here and make a real effort to put on a good performance rather than just doing it for the cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamJags Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Going to see De La Soul at Kelvingrove Bandstand on Saturday. Anyone seen them before, and if so, are they decent live? Them, DJ Format and Stanley Odd is looking like a great lineup. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boostin' Kev Posted June 22, 2016 Share Posted June 22, 2016 Definitely one of the better live hip hop acts I've seen. Format will be good as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
