No screaming just rappinThere's only one week between this performance & the one at Lopez Tonight yet this one is just The Game with DJ Kris Stylez on the turntables whereas the Lopez Tonight one was with live band (Skee-Tox & DJ Skee). From thereon, it's a matter of taste if you prefer rapping over a record like in the old days or with live instrumentation which is more "rock-like".

Live bands at hip-hop performances are the worst mix ever. Shit is not right.

Sometimes the rawer the better, but there are instances where I been positively surprised! (Not with Skee-Tox I must admit!) But did you check the live footage I posted at the Fuel Room for Clubbin'TV with DJ Quik & even more so with Ice Cube? Even have some rehearsal footage & it came out really good, different from the studio versions, but very good!
