Eminem's performance at the Shady 2.0 showcase (video)

[Mathers]

I can hear it now I didn't think he would say that these days especially sense the censored himself when he performed Nuthin But A G Thang.

[JAGODA]

Em's done this plenty of times hasn't he? I remeber the "Up In Smoke Tour" he said it during "Whats The Difference" and "Under The Influence"...

And he wrote the word in his autobiography quoting a song.

Not to mention this whole performance. LOL.

That's the one I was thinking of

I really wanna mention how Em really killed his "Love Me" verse live, the calm flow was perfect for him. Could you imagine him performing songs with a calm voice like that? He's already shifting towards it, hell, maybe he even agreed to perform that song because he wants to practice the calm flow at a concert and see the reception it gets.

I hope so!

he wants to practice the calm flow at a concert and see the reception it gets.

If going by that logic then he'll never stop shouting, because that crowd was dead.

^^ yeah but that's the fucking Grammy's....in my country people are always stiff during these things so it wasn't really a suprise to me back then and it still isn't. I do expect lots of crowd participation during a hip hop festival or whatever SXSW is (never heard of it before). What was up with that crowd anyway????

The other day I watched the Sydney concert and that crowd knew every damn word. Shit, even people at that fucking Rihanna concert wents completely NUTS when Em showed up in LA.

Meh, fuck the crowd. Remember when he performed "Lose Yourself" at the Grammys and everyone just sat there? Doesn't make it any less of an amazing song.

But that was the Grammys not a concert they probably weren't hip hop fans or fans of his music.

GREAT!!!

[ShadyHerbII]

This was a great performance. I really hope Eminem will consider doing another anger management tour.

[kiki]

So what? Look at any other award show and people are wild.

The crowd was just a shit one, you're gonna tell me any old school Em fans are NOT gonna enjoy a fuckin concert with Em performing songs strictly from his prime?

That crowd didn't move all night.

lLt's hope Em sees that too and doesn't take the zero participation as an indicator of whether to scream or not to scream.

Why is Em's movement on stage constantly assessed and criticised? I don't understand why its held in such a high regard. Who cares how he walks on stage. It's not even that bad. His vocal performance should be the primary concern. In that respect, he was good. Love Me was particularly impressive.

This, I don't give a fuck how another man moves on stage...the music is what matters. It's like how people bash on Adele for being (not that) fat. Just shut up and enjoy the music. We get it, some people don't like how he performs...stop watching his performances.

You fucking idiots. It's a performance. He is physically presenting his art to you. That's why you're there. Otherwise you'd just listen to the CD because the quality is clearly superior. Everything he does during this physical performance matters. From his ability to have enough breath to spit all of his bars, to his ability to physically represent them simultaneously as well. This is what performing is all about -- and you're saying the only thing that matters is his voice? Well in all honesty is voice isn't doing much when he's unable to complete most of his own bars.

Ah ok so it's time for Em to dress up like a clown again, briong out the Jason mask and chainsaw AND BLEACH HIS FUCKING HAIR AGAIN. Got it.

PS: Did you delete the line I am referring to???? The one right before the link about how a real performance should look like?

[Trimss]

This isn't the good way to promote Tech N9ne bro. You force feed us with your links and it's getting pretty annoying.
I want you to videotape yourself rapping TIC with the same intensity as Eminem, without any editing. You'll see that it's not that easy, this song in particular.

This is how to compose yourself on stage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLBsiH2c ... re=channel

Also, his best What's The Difference performance: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UG0Pm_yF ... re=channel

Goes to show that he used to be able to go all out on a verse, spit every line, and still have the stamina to scream the chorus.

[Coulter]

How the hell do you want him to walk? I don't see how it looks weird at all. It's probably how he's gotten used to moving while he's rapping.

This. Honestly, I don't even notice it until people start whining about it. I don't mind it at all.

[Elision]

No, I'm going to say it's better than the current day performances because it is. Notice how he is involved with the crowd. Energetic, and actually making eye contact. jumping around all over the stage like he actually gives a fuck about his message. Also, of course proof is there who is an incredible hype-man. much like kalliko
