The Jumbotron displayed a photo of the beloved rapper alongside RIP NIP: THE MARATHON CONTINUES. Mustard played Perfect Ten, the title track from his platinum-certified 2019 album. The song featured Hussle. The crowd predictably erupted, and Mustard said, "Make some noise so loud that Nipsey Hussle can hear you" before playing Hussle's Last Time That I Checc'd featuring YG.
Mustard kept the function going by bringing out Dom Kennedy. Dom came through and performed "My Type of Party" and "When I Come Around" as the crowd rapped every word with him. He really shocked the crowd when he invited Steve Lacy on stage to perform songs from Gemini Rights like "Bad Habits." The Forum erupted with roars of cheers when Tyler, The Creator popped out. Tyler performed his hits "WUSYANAME" and "Earfquake."
The star-studded event not only featured outstanding performances and heartfelt tributes but also saw the likes of LeBron James in attendance. The crowd was electrified by the incredible lineup and iconic moments from artists such as Ty Dolla $ign, Steve Lacy, and Roddy Ricch. The atmosphere at the Kia Forum was nothing short of spectacular as fans and celebrities alike came together to celebrate the legacy of Nipsey Hussle through music and unity.
Mustard's Pop Out concert proved to be a monumental event, showcasing the influence and talent of both established and up-and-coming artists in the music industry. The concert not only paid tribute to a fallen legend like Nipsey Hussle but also provided a platform for artists like Ty Dolla $ign, Dom Kennedy, and Tyler The Creator to shine. Mustard's ability to bring together such a diverse range of artists and create a memorable experience for fans speaks to his lasting impact and legacy in the world of music.
