With music festival season underway, J. Cole performed at the Shaun White's "Air + Style" event in Los Angeles over the weekend in front of a raucous crowd. While Cole ran through his many hits, he mixed things up a bit when he transitioned from his banger "Who Dat" to Notorious B.I.G.'s classic track, "Hypnotize." Of course, Cole completely slayed this portion of the performance, as he mirrored Biggie's infamous flow on the track while not missing any of the lyrics to prove that he's really all about his hip-hop history. It will be interesting to see if Cole keeps this ode to Biggie as a part of his set going forward, especially since he's slated to perform at a few more festivals this year, including a headlining set at Bonnaroo in June. Whether he does or not, it's incredibly cool to see Cole pull something like this off and the crowd to react like it did.
