I have been to quite a few hip hop concerts. Most sucked shit due to terrible sound system/mix.
The only ones where the sound guy mixed the music properly for a hip hop show was De La Soul about 5 years back, the Roots about 7 years back, and Lupe Fiasco last year. Heavy bass, the treble was clear, the audio mix vocals were good but not too muddy or loud or buried...
Nearly every other hip hop concert I ahve been to sucked shit. All you can hear is four guys rapping at the same time and a muddy mix with no actual BASS in it. I thin k it is rock guys doing sound for rappers, or maybe the rappers are just rapping through a shitty mac p[owerbook and USB stick. who knows. It SUCKS SHIT though
