Cosign. Busta and Jay were crazy. Lauryn Hill was absolutely sodding awful; textbook case of not knowing or caring what your audience wants. We didn't pay R400 to come stand for hours in a cold building to watch you sit down and play acoustic guitar. We came for that Doo Wop, that Everything is Everything.
Tumi and the Volume and Zubz have always had great live shows. The live musician element really works well. Even HHP's getting into it - you haven't lived until you've heard the 20 minute jazz version of Tswaka.
Cosign!
I hate it when these guys make us rhyme or sing to half their tracks tho. Yes, we know the track, but we aint there to see them shove a mic towards us for more than a minute and all they do is grin as they bump their head
