Vince Staples in 2017 was one of the best performers I’ve ever seen, maybe the best ever for hip hop. Saw him at a small venue then a music festival. Different sizes but had the entire crowd the entire time.

Best performers that I've personally seen:
Kanye and Jay Z in 2011
Justin Timberlake in 2013
LCD Soundsystem in 2018
Sufjan Stevens in 2017
Bjork in 2023

Worst performers that I've seen:
Rae Sremmurd in 2023
Glorilla in 2023

saw him in 2019 and i agree he’s one of the best performers ive seen live so far, with arctic monkeys a close second

Rae in 2023? You got scammed

Future is amongst the worst

Travis was good when he came out but he’s become the most overrated performer in the game

Astroworld was hype though

when i stayed in oakland for the week

travis wasn’t bad during the utopia tour but at the same time i was a little underwhelmed

Did he do any FM songs?

he did fun. and don’t get clipped but i got the most hyped when he did bagbak and norf norf

Best for me in hip hop is Yasiin Bey (Mos Def)…he’s such a natural it always feels like it’s organic and off a whim but he is in full control everytime I’ve seen him. Kanye “Glow in the Dark” was amazing and then “Yeezus” was just pretty fascinating.

Worst for me was Wu Tang honestly lol. But in their defense, this was way late in their career.

Ohhh and Q-Tip is incredible live too.

Tbe for me that I ever got to see was Prince twice. still the best by far of any genre and this was at the age of 50+.

it was coachella so its fine

Kendrick is #1

best i’ve seen live = the xx i see you tour but im also not a big live show guy so

Cole is phenomenal, his music translate well in a stadium unexpectedly

Cole was the best. His breath control live is actually pretty crazy.

best performances imo
Janet Jackson
peak Celine Dion
Don Toliver
Ceelo Green
Kendrick
Vince Staples
Charlie Wilson
Usher
Ye
Rema
Lacey Sturm

Wiki is the greatest rap performer of our generation I wish people would realize this 😔

Been to dozens of concerts and Kanye blows everybody away Especially on WTT tour

After that it's a tie between Springsteen back when the E Street Band was still intact and Arcade Fire on the Neon Bible tour. Also Bowie and Prince.

The worst was Eminem around Recovery and Drake around NWTS. Crowds were hype of course but they were pitiful performances if you were paying attention.

Was em all f***ed up or was Drake drunk ?

Yeah that was an amazing show

Em wasn't f***ed up on d**** but I'm pretty sure he was still recovering from an overdose that left him with brain damage

Drake has never been an exceptionally good live performer though tbh

which sucks bc his songs are great

Trav was wild in a little club on the Owl Pharaoh tour but I wouldn't go see him in a stadium or anything

Prince fam @twinkletoez
