Rapper Finale blazed the stage with his fluid lyircal style and trippy hip-hop. One of those jams was "Mr Nice Guy."

He dedicated many raps to slain hip-hop producer J-Dilla.

Vandalyzm put on a show for real. He opened up the set with a cool and mellow hip-hop tune, "Lonely Life" an interpolation of Foreigner's "I Wanna Know What Love is."

Gillespie and buddy clownin around during Vandalyzm's " Lonely Life" as though they were at a concert with lighters (the dude on the left actually had one)

Vandalyzm represented true underground St. Louis hip-hop.

The concert was amped a notch when Gotta Be Karim joined Vandalyzm joined him mideway in the set. One of those songs was "Studio Gangstas."

The Men of SYGU, who sponsored the concert, and their posse atteh end of teh stage. Eddie Hollman (far righT0 introd Vandalzym but befor ehe did, he gave a quick hiphop lesson of what is and isnt hip-hop. He nodded for Needles to spin two records "A Bay Bay," and "Party like a Rock star" and said after each snippet, "This is not hip hop." and then later said, "I am tired of people saying real hip-hop is dead."

A long shot of the crowd.

Vandalyzm was joined on stage with his cuz D Hendrix.
