Tetris Kelly:
Mustard knew exactly what was coming as he took the stage with the star packed set featuring Ty Dolla $ign. Roddy Ricch, Tyler the Creator, YG and so many more. But when Kendrick rose up from the stage, the crowd knew exactly what time it was, as he immediately started with Drake diss track “euphoria.” He went through several of his massive hits and “Freedom” felt perfect for the historic occasion. He reunited his iconic group, Black Hippy, and the crowd lost it when he was joined by Dr. Dre who gave “California Love.” But everybody was waiting on this moment. He performed “Not Like Us” five times. He eventually brought Mustard on stage and everyone else involved with this show. Fans even sang along to the track as they exited the venue a night for the culture and the history books.
