His live show was surprisingly good, which is impressive considering the skinny jeans and the prancing.

Seriously. Dude is a good live performer.

I never got the heavy handed Cage comparisons either. I guess there voices are somewhat similar, but completely different subject matter until Cage's makeover.

Well he looks like Frank Zappa now..that's kinda cool.

I've seen him live like 3 times, he has GREAT energy on stage, he does a good job getting the crowd hyped up for whoever he is opening for

I even bought his first album on Eastern Conference although he never seems to make it B-Team status.

He's had a few really strong moments: "Let the Games Begin" "Left It To Us", "Made you Shit your Pants" I don't think it's a coincidence that all the sings I named are posse cuts

Vocally he's similar to Cage (More so now than earlier cage), which is a detriment for him since Cage has WAY more personality and has more memorable lines.

See, I actually LIKE his constant spazzing out on stage. If nothing else he isn't your standard, cookie cutter rap dude on stage

some of the beats on scifentology I remember being really sick, but yeah, this dude bores the shit out of me.

Bizz Bozak · Post by **Bizz Bozak** » Tue Aug 18, 2009 2:28 pm

I was a big fan of his pre-EC stuff, had a unique delivery and great beat selections, but switched his style up with 'My Claim', which was sort of a letdown. I understand the Cage comparisons, as they do have similar voices, but I always felt Yak held his own on Weathermen cuts. Both 'Scifentology's had some joints, and I'll check for what he drops on Def Jux, although he's pretty far removed from his earlier work. I'll co-sign the guy puts on a good show.

One of the worst live shows I've ever seen. He "headlined" a show in Chicago with J.U.I.C.E and a few other cats a few years back, everyone was there to see Juice, by Yakballs set there were maybe 25 people left and he was yelling at the crowd cause they weren't into his set, during Yakballz set JUICE was freestyling in the crowd with fools hahah

I saw him open up for someone and it was horrific.

I have that fondle 'em shit on wax. I think that the Plague song is pretty good, but I have never felt the need to listen to him after that.

Cause indie hip hop lacks Persian Americans?

Not too familiar with his stuff, but I did like Freak Show and I like that Gas Galaxy track.

Thread is not going places...so let us make this about hot women you didn't know were Iranian. I'll start, Catherine Bell from Jag:
