Also – if, as the author puts it”Part of the problem may be that live hip-hop is inherently inferior to other forms of music…” ask fucking Bono or Hootie to freestyle and see where that gets you – man I really hope you are joking and it just went over my head because I can’t believe you’d even write something like that.

Not a clue what you all mean about rock having an edge on rap – go see Tech N9NE – you may hate his music but the act is awesome. It has nothing to do with distortion or a white audience at all – white kids like rap – shit SKATERS like rap – a good show is a good show based on how well put together it is – is the sound good – are the performers tight as an act – do they have charisma and play to the crowd? Tell ya wot – go to an Emo show – you’ll want to slit your wrists – not because the music is depressing but because of the slapdash – I don’t give a shit if there’s an audience – attitude. It makes you say why the hell did I waste my money on this garbage? And also who the fuck told you rock acts don’t get ripped off – one thing that hasn’t changed is everyone still gets ripped off.

People that actually pay for CDs are over 30. People that are over 30 probably aren’t listening to too much rap.
^explanation?

Most rappers get ripped off w/ their contracts while the rock counterparts don’t. The other thing, most rap music is bought by white teens anyway. Most rappers don’t know how to perform…they yell on stage

Shit’s simple; mo whites, whites like rock, mo sales. da US iz like ~12% black so even if all blacks only bought rap we still coudn’t do shit bout it, even if you count othr minorities and whites dat like hip-hop, and not many middl-age whites like that current rock so most the tops are 40+

Aight, this is what I been tryin’ 2 hip my young & dumb negros 2 for awhile now. All ‘dat Rock shit is on another level when it comes 2 the live shows and I say ‘dat wanting these Rap cats 2 step their games up. The sickest shows I have seen outside of Rock which my 1st shows was as a small fry back in the day were Kiss & Queen which U know ‘dat was the bomb but the best show outside of Rock had 2 be. . Jodeci when they went out wit’ their band and the opening acts were like Naugthy by Nature, Mary J. and the Bad Boy crew. You hit the nail on the head wit’ this 1 playboy which is why I am workin’ on this new sound “UrbanRock” that you can peep at:

RHETORICS

In your article you alluded to the age of the artists in both genres but not to the age of the actual genres “Could someone please tell me again how old is hip hop cause I forget” The age dictates who listens to the artists in both genres with questions like whose listening to p.diddys 1st album today and who is listening to u2 or rod Stewarts first album with the same rotation that chuck berry had on seventies babies parents 45 player another question who goes to see chucks shows?. Most of the hip hop artists who are up on that totem pole are relatively new in comparison to their rock counter parts also a list should have been compiled of the hip hop artist other contemporaries in rock because a majority of the artists in the top ten with the exception of a few started/or where in the middle of their careers when the hip hop counterparts lower in the list weren’t conceived or where still babies. I agree being a hip hop artist myself that a stellar live set is a matter of strategy especially, not knocking rock or any thing but when they say sound check in rock its exactly that a sound check for as long as the melody if you can call it that is right and the lead singer doesn’t forget the lyrics you are set but as some one had said and posted rap is about hitting syllables to the beat so artists pretty much have to be fit to do that and give hi energy and not many of the hip hop brothers/sisters are or do; also you got look at hip-hop from its inception the street corner/block party element of it hence smaller venues. $60 for a hip hop show as opposed to $195-$835 for a single rock show ticket of Dave Mathews band, jimmy buffet, Elton john (coasttocoasttickets) and most of these rock cats do anywhere from 42 to 78 shows with an average of 1.2million attendees do the math of course they gonna do more numbers.

I definetly co-sign The Roots. These days all youre hearing is studio rappers. Not “EMCEES”, you know, dudes who can actually rock crowds and such. Need more emcees and artists, your ass is dust if you cant rock a live show.

Oh yeah, those rock groups have cult like followings, rap fans are basically groupies these days just wanting the flavor of the moment (rap-wise, no homo).

common did some pretty brazen shit when i saw him this summer. he pulled a chick on stage and danced all on her,, while playing the beat from the light.

he asked people to come on stage and break dance, and some of them got booed off.

co-sign the ROOTS Crew. them boys will be playing Vegas when I am in my 60′s and 70′s and Biz Markie will be 100 yrs old.

Parliament/Funkadelic is the greatest musical experience that I have seen altered and sober. two dozen musicians on stage doing all kinds of crap, jamming out, singing, no rock band alive can rock that hard.

Ghostface was pretty good. Maybe the best rapper I’ve seen. Not Hootie good, but good none the less.

I haven’t had a chance to check out The Roots yet. Their last show here sold out.
