Well, for me it had to be the Fresh Fest concert of 87. Even tho that's the only concert I went to it had everybody who was hot at the time(except Run D.M.C). You had Stetsasonic, Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince( before Will Smith), Public Enemy, Eric B. and Rakim, Whodini, and LL Cool J. This was the start of hip hop music really blowin up.

umm.. this is a nice topic, but i some people may have not attended a concert yet.
But me! I attended the Chingy n ludacris concert. it had the DTP gang there with David Banner as a special guest.
I didn't even know he was gonna be there..?? they should have put that sh1t on the ticket or somin'.. let people know whats up, b4 it goes down. probably could have gotten my people to come if they did.
o well... thats just me, I'm about my money mayne... I would advertise ya mutha....

But chyeah! I enjoyed the concert. It was my 1st concert i ever attended.
And i got to see what these artists do, go though. Fans screaming their lungs out and wanting to just touch them in sh1t. sh1tz crazy!

But ohhh wheeeww.. the most of the ladies there dressed to impress. yes sir

going to that concert was a great treat for me, i finally got to see these people live instead of through a tv screen

the dopest concert i saw was floetry, gangstarr, kweli, and common. common by far was the best out of the bunch though. in a close second i saw supernatural, j5, and dilated too. also a dope show.

OK, I'm gonna say my top 3, just because I've been to so many, and these 3 were all incredible

Up In Smoke Tour '01 - Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Ice Cube, Warren G and the DPG

Hard Knock Life Tour '98 - Jay-Z, DMX, Method Man, Redman, Memphis Bleek, Beanie Sigel, and pretty much everyone from the Roc at the time

No Way Out Tour '97 - Puff Daddy, Mase, Lil' Kim, Faith Evans, Busta Rhymes, Dru Hill, Lil Cease, Junior MAFIA, Usher

These 3 concerts were all incredible. Huge venues, great overall productions. Long sets, great intros....Just amazing

All those shows sound tighT. SummerJam back in the day with Big Pun, Busta, Timbaland right when he had dropped, Missy and so on was pretty good. Roots put on a damn good show as well. But as far as music you can FEEL, WU brought the energy at the Boathouse a year or so ago. Matta fact, i think they were just back in Va beach last weekend for Method Man and Redman's show>>>>
