With the energy still pulsating, DM took a Southern turn as a string of “crunk” hits played. Lil John’s exaggerated screams of “OKAY?!?!?” and “Yeah!!!!” echoed several times, while Nelly’s simple instructions of “It’s gettin hot in here/so take off all your clothes” got the crowd even more energized.
