Live hip hop comes to....life?

If I had to pick just one thing that I truly considered to be an art form, just one thing that leaves me in awe, it would have to be the amazing live performance brought by Tech N9ne. Most people don't exactly perceive live hip hop performances as very exciting. Let's be honest, the majority of the time its just a single guy with a microphone walking back and forth on stage. Not Tech N9ne though. This emcee has single handily taken live performances to the next level. From his charisma, to his high energy, and most of all his choreography, Tech N9ne blows other acts off the stage and is not someone most want to follow.

I mentioned his choreography because if you have ever attended a Tech N9ne show, you know that everything is VERY tight. There is no room for error, and every move, every word is executed with precision. You can tell from the first video, when he is speed rapping, just how absurdly precise his live delivery is. Add in his showmanship and theatrics, which include elaborate stage sets and face paint, and you have a volatile mix for the best live show you will ever see. The first time I witnessed this madness, my jaw dropped and I was in disbelief. I could not believe how amazing he sounded live and how unbelievably entertaining his stage show was. He does not just walk back and forth on stage, no instead he always has his two hypemen who are tightly choreographed with him every step of the way. This includes dances and live remixes that are done on the spot.

I will always tell anyone who listens, that absolutely no one, NO ONE has anything on Tech N9ne's stage presence.
