While, even though I'm not a fan, I gotta say that Kanye's Glow in the Dark tour was unavoidably entertaining. (Think broadway and modern art seasoned with urban flavor).
As transcendent as that show was for the shape-shifting genre, I've got to say that my favorite live hip hop moments didn't come to me courtesy of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of props and special FX. My favorite...
KRS-One: Kris the Blastmaster has energy that is just unmatchable by the hip pop poster boys that are his foil today. Maybe that has something to do with the fact that his lyrics aren't a bunch of petty invective but forceful messages. The Bridge is Over live is hype like nothing else.
@Bane of your existence: The Roots definitely know how to please a crowd and I read they do it an average of 220 times a year too!
