First opener Pigeon John is about as annoying as an actual pigeon, and was followed by Omni, who is inoffensive and interchangeable with hundreds of other underground hip-hop artists. Fatlip, one of the founders of playful West Coast hip-hop group The Pharcyde, followed by demonstrating his spectacularly unique flow, intermixing classics from his Pharcyde days with tracks from his recent solo...
