EAST RUTHERFORD, New Jersey — Lil Wayne stood tall this weekend. While major acts from Mötley Crüe to 30 Seconds to Mars and Wiz Khalifa all rocked the 2011 Bamboozle festival in the Meadowlands parking lot, it was Weezy who capped off the party with his Sunday set, which went on for a little over an hour.
With the sun completely set on a brisk 53-degree Jersey night, Wayne took the stage, wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and blue fitted cap, and spit his verse to Drake's "I'm Going In." Tunechi fired up his band as he went on to thrill the crowd of thousands with his I Am Not a Human Being cut "Bill Gates" and Chris Brown's "Look at Me Now," before launching into a rock-tinged version of "A Milli." The crowd remained in full support throughout, shouting song lyrics on each of Wayne's cues, rapping "OK, you're a goon, but what's a goon to a goblin," as DJ 45 dropped out the beat.
