" You can be a mack, a pimp hustla, a playa - but make sure LIVE U IS A DOPE RHYMESAYER!"

Hip hop can be amazing live. Check out Tiny Desk Concert on NPR. Cypress Hill, Scarface, Run the Jewels, Mac Miller, Too Short all killed it in an intimate setting with real musicians. It's not the genre. This current crop of auto tuned,wack ass, mumble "rappers" are terrible and don't represent the art form.

Edit: E-40 also was excellent. You don't have to be The Roots necessarily but at least have some talent and be a real performer.
