[edit] Steps

Choose a small venue to play at, and put more people into the venue than allowed. This creates heat and an anger of all sorts that you can feed off of.
Walk onto the stage strongly with a purpose. Don't cheer and DO NOT look at the crowd. Get yourself set up with your instrument and/or microphone.
Stare hard into the crowd... eye them. The silence should be deadly
Play as hard and as loud as you can, catching the audience off guard.
Walk off the stage prominently and quietly once you're finished.

[edit] Tips

While in the concert act insane: jump into the crowd, mosh, break instruments, it is just that much better.
Clothing can add to the playing experience.
These steps are meant for rock bands, but if you can make it work for your rap group, then by all means do it.
Make sure all band members follow the same routine. You're would look quite stupid with you staring at your shoes while the others are jumping and telling horrible jokes to the audience.
