getting the crowd amped way before Blue Scholars even made an appearance. Lyrics about appreciating where you've come from, costume changes, making the crowd get their hands up and cheezy jokes about getting robbed of their CD cases make Malkemore an act to be enjoyed; you can't take your eyes off him.
As you start to sweat and your arms get tired of staying up and swaying from side to side for so long, you start to wonder how you'll survive the main act's performance. But as Blue Scholars jumped up on stage, everyone forgot how exhausted they already were and got their second wind for the Scholars' island beats and heavy-beated tracks over indie songs like Modest Mouse's "Float On."
Another breath of fresh air came after their performance when the guys stuck around to sign autographs and say hey to everyone who came out to the show. This appreciation is vital for up-and-coming hip hop artists (for anyone up-and-coming, really), and it payed off. There was not a single disappointed soul after that show.
