I'm sure I'll forget some...

Ludacris - [F] Anger Management tour the year Eminem's third major album came out, it was at the tacoma dome and his sound dude pumped the bass to levels that made the rest of the mix uncomprehenable...He opened so I didn't expect much...

Xzibit - [C] Same as above, better mix, he was at the height of his career so it played like a greatest hits set..Never been an above average rapper just clung onto the right scene at the right time and it showed...

Eminem - [A] He did it all, had theatrics, was at the pinnacle of his career, everyone was there to see him, plenty of guests, great set, did like 4 encores...Mind you this was back in 03 when he was the shit...

Kanye West - [B] Sasquatch 04, Right before his second album came out, played between Wilco and Modest Mouse which was a pretty odd mix...He didn't have the litany of hits so most of the songs were snippets/test versions of upcoming songs...His dj was sick and despite not being that well known had the audience going...

Blue Scholars [A] Seen em 5 times now and they have been great every time, most memorable was Sasquatch 05(06?) in the rain on the second stage...

T.I. - [B] Bumbershoot 08...For a generic rapper in a stadium he did pretty well, did some great freestylin to beats/samples that he would never get clearance to, talked about his recent arrest, did what he needed...Downgraded a grade because his set was hit and miss, too many no-name/crew guest spots...

Brother Ali [A] Bumbershoot 08...Best rap act I have seen, ever...
