During a season filled with musical festivals, the 2014 Made
In America Festival officially ended the summer on a high note. The festival
kicked off on Saturday in Philadelphia and for the first time in downtown Los
Angeles. In Philly, J. Cole did his thing
as usual and opened up with a profound tribute to Mike Brown. His label mate Bas, Big Daddy Kane, Chromeo,
Baauer, and Steve Aoki also hit the stage before Yeezus came through and shut
the scene down. Watch Kanye's set below.
Over in L.A., artists Kendrick Lamar and TDE, Hit-Boy with
special guest Rich Boy, YG, and DJ Mustard performed in front of a packed crowd
at Grand Park. Ms. Fancy herself, Iggy Azalea, delivered her hits such as
“Problem,” “Fancy,” and “Black Widow” with a surprise appearance from Rita Ora.
On day 2 the event went out with a big bang. Kanye West flew
cross country to Los Angeles to perform for concertgoers on the same stage that
earlier featured John Mayer, Chance the Rapper, Nipsey Hussle, Rita Ora, Steve
Aoki, and SZA. Jay Z and Beyoncé made a cameo as they attended the event to
catch Kanye’s 80-minute set to close the night.
Back in Philly, YG performed for a hyped crowd. The level of excitement grew for the crowd as
YG did a tribute for Philly’s very own Meek Mill. Meek is currently incarcerated and when YG
held up a shirt that read “Free Meek” the audience went crazy.
Pharrell ended the event with a dope set, performing songs
of old as well as new off of his hit album GIRL.
All in all, the entire event was a success and even Hova
himself broke his silence tweeting this:
