Even though LL cool J is not considered a gangsta rapper by any means it sure brought out the thugs though.

I was a bouncer for Jam Productions in the 70s and 80s and it most certainly went by the crowd. For instance Grateful Dead crowds were anarchic but passive (like herding cats, as the saying goes), Punk rockers might show bad attitude but just attitude and it was the Hard Rock and Metal shows that brought out the toughest kids. Southern Rock shows brought out quite a few hard guys too. All the actual fights I got into were at Hard Rock or Southern Rock shows.

let's put it this way:

one city has a dedicated lakefront site for its festival with all the appropriate infrastructure and diversions built into it and with admission charges that actually gives the patrons services.

the other one sets up tent by closing the main route through its downtown lakefront park, the city's official"front yard", when it sets up shop.

any questions which one is better?
