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!

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":

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.
