What do you think about live performance(s) in Hip Hop? I've never been in a position to experience a live performance and I've wondered whether or not Hip Hop's live performance aspect has been and is hindered by:
Sampling as the musical element of Hip Hop which is dictated by legal concerns such as clearance
The genre's racialization of perceived and real violence at concerts since the 1980s and 1990s
The fact that after 1979, the corporatization of the music segued into recorded performance in studio environments for commercial consumption which:
Gave way to the later focus on albums and singles and as a result the idea of live performance was confined to touring as a way to promote albums and no longer as primarily a way to connect to people in the communities Hip Hop was born in?
