i witnessed them on friday at  binghamton ny.  it wasnt as bad as i thought. you could here there vocals better then  davy suscide  set. why are people complaining they havent used them at every show

Binghamton whut up? Elmira OG representing for that bitch ass!

I would welcome some live band flavor to switch up the vibe of a group I've seen many many time...

Especially since folks are remarking on them playing more obscure songs...

What are some of those tracks yall that have seen The Wickedness and Twiztid? 

Kung Fu Vampire has been doing the live band thing since he started i think in 2001, they are the only ones i've seen who do it right and sound sick with live band. Most anyone at this point who just adds a live band seems to be doing it as a gimmick or to step it up and it just doesn't feel cohesive like Kung-Fu Vampire but The Wickedness was a nice change from just twiztid by themselves.

i think it adds to the songs more than takes it away. we don't die sounds way better with a band. gives a whole new way of listening to it. i've seen twiztid so many times I got sick of seeing them with just instrumentals basically playing karaoke

^this

I one time had an argument with Kung Fu over twitter because he claimed he was the first one to do a live band. I pointed out The Roots and, hell, the fact that Hip Hop started out with live bands and he told me they don't count because they are old school. He also tried to tell me that he doesn't argue over the internet again. He said something about only little bitches argue over the internet or something. That guy is funny.

 

Edit: In person he told me that he's not on the internet, and that other people run his accounts.

Kungfu is literally one of the coolest most interesting artists I've ever met, he has zero ego in person and was just one of us Juggalos! He actually got some free weed from a fan at the merch booth and was giving it all away to each person that came up to the booth. Also, I'm pretty sure he is a Hip Hop enthusiast based on his FB posts and he knows he's not the first one to bring a live band element to hip hop but in his defense nobody ever names anyone other than the Roots, lol. KFV for sure brought it to the wicked shit first and was definitely the first to bring an orchestra to rap music and for that alone I love him. But yea the wickedness is decent but not on the level yet!  (My 2 cents)

off the dome, cypress hill was runnin around with sx-10 before the turn of the century. 

So was Kung Fu Vampire but man Cupress Hill is fucking boss. They were so dope with the live band, probably my all time favorite rap group but even they did that as a project, the band was never part of the permanent line up, and the band was playing previously recorded songs for the major part. Cypress was super sick and still is now a days. 

Speaking of resurrection of christ, I have a question that doesn't deserve a thread. Does anyone know what The ROC stands for? I assumed it was the reincarnation of christ.

OT, what about Body Count? Rage Against The Machine?

Damn, I kinda like mine better XD
