WOW Saw it LIVE! Took Pics & vids peep here:

Okay to add to whats already been said K'naan was the most unique performance of the night. Cats were on stage with African drums showing "The African Way" tracing hip hop's history to Africa.
Mad explosive energy. The big drummer dude was hellava scary the little white boys in the frint looks scared of his Adebese looking self hahaha. I was one of lke 5 people that knew any K'naan songs but its all good coz he sung all the ones I really like damn near lost my voice during the first set!
His lttle Freestyle acapella he ripped it with the ILL punchlines & African References:

He finished with his hit "Soobax" & my night was complete at tha point:

Jean Grae came out & my pervert a$$ was staring at her fine figure (I have a weakness for the feminine figure especially when its AFRICAN). She came out with a little baseball bat which had me hyped to hear her verse from "Negro League Baseball" but Alas they werent doing requests! Nice chemistry they have with Bizarro..sed they aint even plan their sets. I was standing next to the fan that got sonned hahaha!
She had the whole crowd (white people & all) doing the 2 step during "Don't Rush Me":

Mighty Pharoahe had a dominating prescence (see pics). Dude cmmanded the stage with a prescence like no other. Performed most of his Internal Affairs hits including:
Queens
Right Here & finished with
Simon Says:

I was disappointed he & Kweli didnt get together on "The Truth"..
He also did "Oh No", "F**k You", "My Life" & "Agent Orange". I saw every Pharoahe hit including a sneak of some ew Pharoahe!

Enough has been sed about Kweli not much to add except that we the ones that brought him out for an encore yelling "KWELI..BUMBAYE (sp)!!!". It was crzy in the front row! Peep the videos of the b-boy/girling in the crowd.

+ When he & Jean Grae collabo'd on Black Girl Pain I was amped being from SOuth Africa to her the Cape Town shouts on Jean's verse (peep vid).
