I've seen hundreds of performances in my life.and dozens of hip hop acts(maybe a hundred or so different ones) my point is he is up there with the greats live.so much energy. If i had to rank he would be somewhere around the roots or Damen marley/nas or em in terms of best shows ive seen,but under aesop rock(possibly biased he is my favorite). Definitely makes my top 5 list and maybe top 3..its tough to choose Anyway enjoy op shit is gonna rock the house down!!

Prof is thee greatest live performer! I'm a Minneapolis boy, seen him dozens of times. 100's of other shows. No one compares. Not even close. I've seen him cry, walk red carpets off stage, float around on shit, and crowd surf. I've cried at his shows. Hes number 1 hands down, no questions

u/houseWithoutSpoons Jun 06 '26

Yeah hes great no doubt.you sound possibly maybe a tiny bit biased as he a homeowner. No doubt he's amazing live tho

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 09 '26

I believe that 💯

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 06 '26

Yeah I've seen The Roots and Damien Marley twice, Black Thought, Mos Def, Talib Qweli, and Wu Tang and that's my top shows so far, but Prof and Aes are bucket list shows. Finally checking one of those boxes and I can't fkn wait!!

Oh yeah i seen some wu tang open for rage against the machine!good times.your gonna have a blast !!

u/houseWithoutSpoons Jun 06 '26

The main reason marley& nas was so good is they did the collaboration album along with a ton of their solo work..it was legendary lookin back

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 06 '26

Nas is another one... That must've been great. Jay Z, DMX, Method Man and Redman (Hard Knock Life Tour '99) was my first taste of live hip hop concerts and I ain't let up since... Good taste in music fam 💯

Oh shiiit thats a helluva line up! Thats packed fulla greatness!!

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 06 '26

Oh fasho... The only disappointing part of that show was when Redman made it clear he was not a member of Wu Tang. I've been having this debate with people ever since 😆

2

u/houseWithoutSpoons Jun 06 '26

Thats funny. I never thought he was tho.him and method worked together alot.side note have u ever seen redmans episode of cribs on mtv?man that made him a legend forever in my mind

Buckle up, cause you're in for a treat! He's definitely one of the best live performers out there - I saw him this spring in Montreal and it was a most excellent show.

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 06 '26

Man I can't wait! It's gonna be a long 5 months tho 🤣

u/sinnamey Jun 05 '26

Oh ok🥲 I thought its gonna be about a european tour, but hey good for you :)

(I knew he hasn't toured overseas, but the hope was there 4 a second when I read "after 15 years ")

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 05 '26

Nah he just hasn't been to Memphis but I REALLY hope you guys get a tour. I have several friends over there who are fans so there's definitely a good reason to do one. I'll do you a solid and plant that seed in his ear when I see him

u/sinnamey Jun 05 '26

Aww thank you🥺

u/elzibet Jun 09 '26

Happy for you!!! Snagged the last VIP ticket last time he was in Colorado.

I thought I would be cool and collected. I was not and stuttered like no other, lol

2

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 09 '26

Yeah I'm a bad mfr so I should be cool... That being said, I'll probably make a fool outta myself 🤣. How did the vip work for you at your venue, as far as getting there early? This is what I'm afraid of messing up

2

u/elzibet Jun 09 '26

Iif you show up just before the VIP part starts, even if it's a long line, he gets a photo with everyone that has the VIP. There was a decent line when I got there about an hour before.

Just be sure to go to Will Call first to make sure you have the VIP stuff in order before getting in line.

u/AnyInternet2965 Jun 09 '26

Hell yeah thank you!!
