Rappers understand the value in entertainment. They play for live shows. They put on whatever persona they need to do a song and then play it like they have always meant it. They consider themselves first and foremost entertainers. This makes all the difference in the world. They play for the audience. Rappers want you involved. They want you to put on your persona. If you do it, you might have the time of your life.
The only reason this show isn’t given a score in the 9’s is that I couldn’t hear what Lyrics Born was saying half the time. The sound was all off. Please, please, let’s sacrifice some base for some treble when the show is not the beat but the fact that Lyrics Born is one of the most crazy inventive, talented rappers on the face of the planet. His words are gold.

Example: “…. won a tug-of-war with a Minotaur then I toured the far North on a Portuguese Man-of-War. Santa Claus handed me a catalogue, the envelope attached on it said that you can have it all. So I got an antelope from Manitoba, salad bowl, a catapult, a can of soda, paddle boat, a camera phone…” He said that in 10 seconds. Lyrics Born say “what?!?”
By the way, I want everyone to notice the fact that those lyrics are in iambic form.
Seriously, I could have listened to this man for another hour with bad sound. He was completely in the zone. His back-up singer/girlfriend, Joyo Velarde, was unbelievable. I do wish he had played “Changed My Mind” and “The Last Trumpet” but oh well. I guess I will have to see him again.
Score: 8.7/10.0
