Based on that Trab concert in Rome
Man just jumping around screaming, no real rapping or anything. Which rappers are great performers, esp from the newer gen?
Not in terms of going crazy but actually giving a great vocal performance, breath control etc
Travis can perform tho
Yeah go crayz but I mean vocal performance
From the folks I’ve seen

NahReally
Kanye a literal decade ago
Cole is top 1. Live band recreations of all his songs, no backing tracks, rapping every song word for word. S*** be like when you watch Jay-Z’s old performances. No theatrics, just him and the music
Back to the Topic Live
Channel Tres, saw him at a music festival back in march, what a treat that set was. Nigga was breakdancing and rapping at the same time. Tbh as far as newer age rap performances go haven’t really seen anything like it lol
Travis
I saw Don and he was really good
Kendrick
Paris Texas
Roddy Ricch was good when I saw him a few years ago
Tyler
A lotta folks
kendrick has the best breath control i’ve ever seen and he doin choreography n s*** its really impressive
Travis can perform tho
Only when he feels like. He remixed “Goosebumps” 2 or 3 years ago at Rolling Loud was 🔥
Kendrick & Cole are amazing live
Kanye is amazing when he remembers his lyrics
Drake is pretty great when he’s not doing that sing-flow s*** he started doing lately on his live performances
Tyler is also pretty great
Carti puts on a dope show
Carti is the worst…textbook definition of karaoke live performance
Nas
J.Cole
Kendrick
Tory Lanez
They don’t lip sync, running around on the stage twirling like a b****, relying on a guitarist or band to save’em
Tyler, also J Cole is an incredible performer. Drake was a better performer in the past imo
from my experience:
• Cole (even though his was literally hammered drinking Henny on stage)
• Kendrick Lamar
• Kanye but haven't seen him in 10 years
• Pusha T was insane last week
• edit: forgot Tyler
• also forgot Joey Badass
and still, most of these people don’t switch up tour setlists, even a singular song most times, and it personally bums me out. the magic of hearing a song performed live for the first time in X years is sooooo nice and i wish it was done more
Kendrick
Smino
JID
