In "666" printed baseball tee's, Odd Future performed hits from the members recent projects such as Tyler the Creator's Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Albums No. 1, "Goblin" (MTV VMA's nominated, "Yonkers," "Tron Cat"). Syd the Kid spun while the other members of the hip-hop collective spit their rhymes and made fun of an audience member's hair cut.
