TK Kirkland: DMX is the Greatest Performer Ever, Jay Z isn't Even Top 5

[Jasonmask]

That whole thing with hov being a good performer despite not doing much because of his aura talking point is . I fukk with his music he’s my favorite rapper so of course I’ll be hyped when he mixes allure with dead presidents but Travis Scott is more of a performer than him and he was performing mad songs I don’t fukk with. Best live rapper I’ve seen is Ye (saw him twice) but I heard Wayne can put on a show when he wants to and I heard Drake is kinda like hov in regards to performing

 

[blizzard man]

Anyone who follows hip hop knows this already

yeah I feel like this isn't really a hot take

hov a legend but his live performance is still far down the line compared to others in the genre

I saw X at the Cash Money/Ruff Ryders tour in Bmore in like 98-99 or 2000, it was awesome

 

[King Kai]

Is he talking about strictly performance? I feel like this needs to be clarified.

seen dmx live a couple years ago, this nikka was gettin cats in the crowd to pass him they blunts and bottles

 

[Third Kind]

When you on top, people can never put u on any top list Hov got great performances

 

[BlackMajik]

Jay himself said X taught him how to be a performer on stage lol

 

[Threnody]

If you seen Doug E Fresh live very few of these other nikkas would impress you

DMX is good but he really stood out cause most of his peers in that era were garbage live

Bullshyt. I seen X perform along side Busta, Redman and Method Man etc etc. Those are some of the best hip hop performers till this date.

Only one close is KRS-One

They got a lot of energy and they good (for that era) but

You'd have to compare Doug E with James Brown or some shyt

Nobody is Hip-Hop is fukking with him period when it comes to putting on a SHOW he did "Summertime" it was like a live music video some unreal shyt
