If Em wants to be the best, he needs to improve his shows

Who's the best stage performer? Lil Wayne

See what I mean? You sneak a comment about wayne or drake into EVERY post.


Anyway, I've never seen Em live so I really don't know how it used to be other than from videos, which really don't get the feeling across.. but I do agree that a lot of recent shows have looked fairly akward.

It's not sneaking. If a site such as BET or MTV would put together a survey and asked the fans "Who is the best stage performer rapper" Lil Wayne will get the most votes, Not because of dick riding but because it's true.

right now Jay Z is the best performer in mainstream music. Wayne sounds horrible live, but he has a lot of energy.

I think his knee may of fucked up his performances for good.

Seems as if he can't vibe or rock like he used to, just looks awkward now.

Dude, he doesn't need to run all around. U don't see Jay doing that. He just needs to switch it up. he doesn't have to sound exactly like the album. Just how Jay slowed that verse off the Diamonds rmx down. And get more involved w/ the crowd.

I think Proof being gone hurts his act, but he was starting to fall off during the Encore shows. Even lip syncing a couple times

Well his performance isn't missing 'tricks' for me. I don't want him to switch up songs, I'm sure he'll do stuff like that for his official tours anyway. But what's missing is his natural sense of rhythm. Which may of been fucked up for good from the three operations on his knee. It's not about running around it's about looking natural and exciting.

He used to be like a piece of manic elastic on stage, every hand gesture, every movement looked cool and subversive. Now he looks like... Well, it reminds me of watching Tyson fight Lewis when he came back. He looked like a shell of his former self. The speed, the accuracy, the head movement... It was all gone.

Ironically, much of Tyson's power was lost due to him tearing a ligament in his knee too. I've referred to Em as the Tyson of rap before for obvious reasons. That's yet another parallel between the two but a weird, coincidental one.

Wayne doesn't lipsync though

Lmao, your point? Lil Wayne will get the most votes because he has the most fans currently. Most of which probably have never seen him live in their lives. My point was that this thread is unrelated to Wayne, yet you came in JUST to mention him real quick and dip.

Em sucks at performing now, he doesn't ineract with people on stage anymore, the more i see him live the more i cringe, he was a good performer back in the days but when he always comes out his head is looking at the bottom, and his back is always stiff as fuck, it seems too me that he cannot relax his body-movements anymore(drugs use to do this work) thats what drugs end up doing to you.

[Devil'sAdvocate]

I think it's age.

[IcedSlim Shady]

I saw him live in '03 and he was great back then, really really great. My dad's a blues kinda guy but he still talks about that concert saying how good it was. But eh, is he lipsyncing at his recent performances? What about in 03?
