I won't say the best, because so many are different genres, different eras, I mean Kesha killed it on SNL. But SNL has always been a seriously underrated platform for music, it's our Ed Sullivan Beatles show.
The one that will always stick out in my head is October 23, 1999. Musical guest Dr. Dre promoting his upcoming album the Chronic 2001. We has all known about Eminem a little bit at the time, but only if you were a rap fan and everyone wrote him off as a joke like Vanilla Ice. His "Real Slim Shady" video was out and nobody took it seriously.
Then....
"Forgot About Dre" on SNL. From white kid joke to legit holy **** in 3 minutes flat, and the springboard to him becoming one of the greatest rappers of all time and the biggest name of the 2000s.
