Once back on stage, Quik let his DJ rock the one’s and two’s before he decided to jump behind the decks himself.

The crowd took one big hit of the Bay air to ease the temporary stress.Īs the anticipation mounted, Quik did a lap through the crowd as the portly security folks in his wake nearly had coronaries. Between classics like “Tonite” and “Can You Work With That,” Quik told us that his partner in rhyme was stuck on the freeway. What we didn’t know was whether everyone’s favorite pimp-turned-rapper, Suga Free, was going to make it. We knew that when he jumped on stage in red Adidas gear from head to toe. The legendary DJ Quik was in the motherfucking house. Kendrick closed out the solo round, clad in his customary blood red apparel, dropping knowledge with a single filled set (“The Recipe,” “Swimming Pools (Drank)” and “A.D.H.D.”).Īfter Kendrick, the Cali quartet returned to shut shit down together, like a four man team that can take on your best five MCs one man down. Schoolboy Q took the stage while everyone sparked up and hashtagged “#BETiGOTSUMWEED.” And being that Q used the stage better than his cohorts, sprinting from one end to the other, “There He Go” was never a more appropriate chant. Ab-Soul was in a conscious coma as he dropped bars from two of the best tracks on Control System (“Terrorist Threats” and “Pineal Gland”). The audience members loved Jay Rock’s homegrown anthems. The group came out one at a time, essentially in the (ascending) order that most would rank each MC.
