Fetty Wap Performs on a Gold Throne During Powerhouse 2015 in Brooklyn

Outside of the Barclays Center was a zoo. It was filled with eager concert-goers, hustlers selling Powerhouse t-shirts and nutcrackers in coolers and tons of men and women in navy blue uniforms. Last year at Powerhouse, fans tried to tried to rush security, which resulted in the venue no longer allowing people into the building. This year the NYPD wanted to make sure that incident never happens again.

Jidenna kicked off the night with high-energy, dressed to the nine and had all of the audience's participation when performing "Classic Man." The show then made it's way to the West Coast featuring a little bit of singing and quite a lot of dancing. After singing a few of his hits, including "I'm Up," Omarion took us back to Cali and did an ode to the West Coast. Sounds by Snoop and Dre filled the arena, while O danced with a bandana in his hand. Let's not forget to mention his performance of "Post To Be," where the crowd subbed in for Chris Brown and Jhene—knowing their verses verbatim. Jeremih was up next and took us to the Chi. The Chi-town crooner performed "Hold You Down," "Planes" and "Body" and the crowd up more than a "Lil Bit," when he brought out K-Camp. The Def Jam singer certainly had Brooklyna rockin', especially when he brought out 2 Milly to perform "Milly Rock."

When Meek Mill came on stage the crowd in the smoke-filled arena showed nothing but love. And although he may have taken minor jabs at Drake—he said when you come from nothing, nothing can phase you—that didn't stop the crowd of avid music heads from rapping every word from "House Party" and "All Eyes On You" to "Dreams and Nightmares." Taking it back to NYC, the night wasn't complete without Meek's tribute to the late Chinx as well as his protégé Lil Snupe. After asking for phones and lighters to be placed in the air, Meek performed "Miss My Dawgs" like he was in the booth recording it. He then lightened the mood by bringing out Harlem's own A$AP Ferg, who was decked out in a 90s-style black and white, horizontal striped leather jacket for his performances of "Work" and "Shabba Ranks." And of course Meek's set wouldn't have been right without having Rick Ross bless the stage to perform "Ima Boss," "Pop That" and "Hustlin'." DJ Khaled hit the stage shortly after and performed "How Many Times."

Despite Fetty Wap's injury, he performed a good portion of his discography while sitting in a gold throne chair with his leg elevated and covered with a brown Louis Vuitton throw blanket. Prior to Fetty performing "Jugg" and "RGF Island," he brought out French Montana who threw the necessary plug of their joint mixtape, Coke Zoo. The Jersey-born rapper concluded his set with a motivational speech about following your dreams and a performance of "Trap Queen." And although Fetty has not yet recovered from his recent motorcycle accident, he had two members of his crew help him stand so that he could bid his farewell to the Barclays Center the right way.

With an elaborate set, Big Sean took his visuals to another level. Repping G.O.O.D. Music to the fullest, in his black Adidas Yeezy Boost 350s, Sean gave the crowd what they needed with a performance of "Paradise," "Clique," "Play No Games" and "One Man Can Change The World." Sean ended asking fans to throw up their middle fingers for this one particular occasion, which was more than fitting for his performance of "IDFWU."

After Big Sean, the trap received their blessings. Future—wearing the Air Jordan 5s from the new Supreme collab—came out with DJ Esco to shut down the stage. Future kicked off his performance with records for his day ones, such as, "UOENO" and "Chosen 1." He also gave the #FutureHive what their hearts desired by performing "March Madness," "Real Sisters," "Thought It Was A Drought," "Diamonds Dancing," "Trap Niggas," "Serve The Base" and a host of others from his 56 Nights, Monster mixtapes plus DS2 and What A Time To Be Alive albums.

Lastly, Kendrick Lamar closed out the show. He took Powerhouse back to the West Coast in a thought provoking manner. With a no frills set and no special guests, K. Dot performed hits such as, "Swimming Pools," "Backseat Freestyle" and "Bitch, Don’t Kill My Vibe." And despite producers threatening to cut his performance short because the show ran too long, that had little to no affect on Kendrick's energy and the audience's reciprocity.—Aleia Woods
