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

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

jay is nowhere near top 5.

and yea, DMX in his absolute peak when he used to collapse after he got off stage is the GOAT if we just go by peak time periods.

solo - no order:
DMX, hammer, busta, diddy, ll cool j, 2pac, doug e fresh/get fresh, BDK, ludacris
groups - no order
run dmc, onyx, naughty, whodini, fat boys, fugees, prime beasties, public enemy, cash money, wutang and meth & red, luke/2 live crew, lil jon & eastside boyz​

From who I've seen live:

Red & Mef, De La Soul, Public Enemy, Black Milk and Krs One were great.
Mobb Deep, Bone Thugs, Nas, EPMD, Wu-Tang and Juice Crew were good.
Ghost & Killah Priest did have a trash ass separate Wu-Goo show, easily the worst I've ever been to.

 

[Dre Space Age]

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

I remember that interview

 

[patscorpio]

personally busta and spliff star were the best performers ive ever seen live for rap

 

[C-Styles]

I concur

I've always seen busta live and hes 1B to DMX's 1A.

Busta is just entertaining af live, you won't have a dull moment during the show with him.

Yall gotta cut slack on Jay, he's improved over the years and is pretty good performer.

My GOAT Nas, the one time i saw him perform was with Lauryn Hill in Austin TX and he did not disappoint even though he has a reputation for being a dull performer, he showed out that night

Anyone else that performs with their lyrics ain't worth sh*t to me. Learn your words and learn to have command lazy bum a*ses
