I really enjoy Jurassic 5's music. They are one of the few hip-hop acts that I have heard live which really has their act together. I guess the Roots would be one of the others at the same level of live professionalism. I listen to some hip-hop, but on the whole, I think it is a genre that is best heard on recording. Somehow it just doesn't translate to live performances. Perhaps because most of the rappers just can't sing to save their life. Some of these guys may be good songwriters, or may just have really really good producers making the records... but most of them just fall flat in concert.
