An aspect of this that no one is talking about is the fact that a lot of these rappers don't actually take pride in their work. Most of these rappers don't look at themselves as artists and don't look at their songs as works of art. To them it's just a paycheck. They hear a beat they like and they rap some generic lyrics over it. As much sh!t as Kanye gets for his antics, one thing you can never say about him is that he doesn't care. He looks at his music as art and when he performs, he performs with a sense of pride in his work and undeniable passion. A lot of these rappers are just in it for the money.

Every other genre goes above and beyond to put on a once-in-a-lifetime performance that you can only get at a live show.

As someone who’s worked in the music industry, here’s my take on what happened: Record label A&Rs used to go and see an artist perform before signing that artist. Most artists prior to social media, streaming, KZbin and Tik Tok, had experience performing, before being signed. Now artists are signed based on views, streams, and followers. Nobody in current hip-hop is putting on a good show because 1. they don’t have experience performing, some haven’t really done shows prior to being signed, and 2. They’re not required to be able to do a good show. Maybe if concert sales really dwindle things will change. We’ll see……..

Most artists buy followers, streams, and fake comments. Their numbers are inflated and they book venues that are way too big. On top of that these rappers don’t reinvest into themselves and rather spend money on flexing and that’s why most of them stay broke no matter how much they make because they got paid advancements by their labels. Also most of their main audience are teenagers and young adults who don’t necessarily have the money to spend on those tickets bc or at concessions. If they don’t spend money at the bar then the venue will have to recoup it in charging a higher rental for the venue. I’ve noticed a trend in higher tickets and alcohol prices at festivals too and there is never a line at those bars

He is constantly engaging with his fans even durring the show. If you look up his start time durring the 2022 tour, every show started ON TIME AT (roughly) THE SAME TIME. He gave each of his openers more time than they even wanted because he wanted Kali and Vince to play more of their Underrated songs and to preform a whole ass version of their own concert. (Teezo- 30 min, Vince - 45 min, Kali - 60 min, Tyler 90 min) Someone literally asked me how long till tyler went on (intermission between Kali and Tyler), Since i had went to multiple shows, i looked at the stage and saw where they were on setting it up (they were literally finalizing the pyro), looked at my watch, and told her "should start in about 5 minutes" and i was right because Tyler was ACTUALLY ON TIME.

One of the few newer rappers that deserves even way more recognition for her work is Little Simz. She's genuinely so good at what she does and so many of these nothing "rappers" take her over in popularity and it's just not fair. Her stage presence is awesome and she puts on one hell of a show. She doesn't even leave in track vocals during live performances. She raps all of her songs. And she has a live band behind her. A big problem with many of these other "rappers" is that they're too comfortable being lazy. They get praised for their mediocrity. So they know they don't have to try hard. But now it's coming to bite them in the face that people praising them online are realizing that it's not worth $200 to see these people sort of walk around a stage and talk over loud backing tracks.

I agree, I can't imagine paying $200+ to see somebody walk back and forth (jumping occasionally) on a bare stage. The fans deserve better. Most of the concerts I go to are at smaller venues, usually places that are 300 - 500 capacity, so the prices tend to be a lot cheaper ($25 - $50). I prefer those more intimate settings, and it's great to see the rest of the band up there performing with the singer.

What if I tell you that there's a male rapper out there completely unknown to the rap scene, that not only raps with great speed & skills with lots of bars, switch flow and cadences, but he also dance as well with well thought choreography, and changes outfit as well, lastly he also sings not just a "little" but he really sings well with a guitar and a piano during his concerts. He has an actual live band at the back along with his personal back-up dancers who really admires him. And unlike other artist, he can completely write, compose and produce his songs completely on his own. Not just that, he also produce songs for other artists as well and actively interacts with the crowd during his concerts and of course he's never late or do any excuses. He'd still rap and sing even when he's sick, and even when he had an accident where he got hit by a car when he was out on a rainy day to deliver food (when he was still a delivery boy), he still insist on dancing on stage even when he already broke and dislocated his shoulder he still endured the pain just to perform. He doesn't want to cancel anything especially when there's people waiting for him to perform. Anyways, his fans are also strangely very kind to each other like they'd even give each other free stuff and would even hold hands when entering his concert to prevent chaos that may cause inconveniences to the rapper. After the concerts, the fans themselves would voluntarily pick up the trash and clean the Arena before leaving. And his rap songs has nothing to do with sex & drugs. Basically he's not the typical trash rappers who has meaningless lyrics with no substance. His raps are deep that talks about the sickness of society especially capitalism and negative emotions of humans like anger, fear, jealously, regret, depression, greed, pain, suicidal thoughts, social anxiety, etc. But most of his song ending gives hope to the people who needed it. Also those type of songs are completely for free by the way. Basically he would also release albums for free and by doing so he won't gain any profit from it, and not only that, his songs won't appear in charts as well. Causing him not to be known by the public and besides you'll never EVER hear his song played on radio since they don't wanna play it since he's not welcome from the industry.

The second time was at a Cherokee casino in Tulsa and he got frisbeed right in the head by his own album they were passing out for free.

The performance was not throwing in adlibs, he straight up rapped every word to every song and sounded just as good as the record the whole time. Getting to hear him do his parts on both Midwest Choppers songs followed by Worldwide Choppers, or having them shut all the lights off for Fragile, I'll never forget it.

Growing up, I was a big heavy metal fan and I went to a lot of concerts. $200 to watch someone walk back and forth rapping half their song over a backing track is absolutely WILD to me. You make a good point about artists like Drake and Beyonce; When you pay those obscene ticket prices, you're paying for a massive production that justifies it's value. Obviously, rap is a lot more popular than metal so the demand and price for tickets is going to be a lot higher, but I regularly paid $20-40 to watch my favorite bands play on time, 100% live, from the vocals to the instruments to the antics of the frontman for an hour+ straight. It genuinely boggles my mind that more popular artists can charge absolutely insane prices and then not even show up on time. It really seems like they take their fans for granted or even see them as a nuisance. I remember I saw a Trivium show and the frontman stopped the whole band mid song because people were getting too rowdy in general admission and some girl was getting pushed around; He told them to knock that shit off and behave, and once he confirmed everything was good, the whole band picked the song up on the bar they left off on. When you don't make the most popular type of music, you don't have the luxury of taking ANY of the people who support you for granted. I wish these fellas would recognize what a blessing it is to even think about charging $200 a ticket and give their fans the love, respect and performances they deserve. That being said, big respect to the artists who respect their fans, the craft and go out there every night and kill that shit. That's the blueprint.

You could hear every lyric he spit because his breath control is crazy good and he's in his 50's. Today's rappers have no set, just a bunch of dudes on stage taking up space.

When he finally showed up, he wasnt even rapping. Just bouncing around all goofy looking. I ended up leaving and going to another stage. when I saw post malone he arrived on stage completely drunk and slurring all his words. He even spilled his drink on the floor and just started laughing 😑 like cmon bruh get your ish together. Crowd was super wack too. Everybody pushing & fighting. No sense of community at all.

As a huge live music fan, when people ask me what was the worst concert I ever went to it always shocks them when I say The Weeknd. Granted, this was back in Star Boy days so I’m not sure if/how his performances have changed since then, but man was it disappointing. He was over 2 hours late, his openers were all over the place energy wise, not to mention i think the soundcheck was barely done and things just sounded “off”. when he finally DID come on, I kid you not he was on stage for 30-40 minutes TOPS. This wasn’t a small, random arena towards the tail end of the tour. It was Barclays in Brooklyn. Since then I’ve had no inclination to see him live again. The best shows in my opinion as others have said (apart from the obvious big hitters like Beyoncé, Taylor, etc) are rock bands. They’re on stage for what feels like 2+ hours performing their hearts out.

I recently saw JID live and it was glorious to see a rapper deliver in all fronts, rapping absolutely everything with energy and passion. Something lacking in so many artists, and it’s worrying. Even worse, we’ve gotten used to it (artists barely singing/rapping or doing it with no clue in how to translate it to a live format, which sometimes means weird and forced deliveries). I see KZbin videos of live shows and a ton of comments are like “amazing performance” and I’m like… what? He’s barely done anything except bounce around and shouting! When an artist has done the homework and is capable of being in synch with their songs… it’s magical, nothing like it.
