MC Magic - Lowrider Magazine

On stage were some of the finest acts this side of the Mississippi. LaLa opened it up and MC Magic along with Sophia Maria rolled through his hits. E-40 then stepped on stage and kept his slick tongue spitting repertoire like "Yay Area," "They Might be Tapin'," and "Sprinkle Me," to name a few. He and his crew signed a skateboard deck from Lexani, which one lucky fan got to go home with. Last on deck was the always-energetic David Banner, proving he's a man of the people. Opening up with "Cadillac on 22s," Banner jumped out into the crowd to perform among his fans from bleacher to bleacher and then finally made his way back to the stage. The end of his show had fans waving their hands in the air and singing along.

There was only one thing left to mark the end of the stage part of the show, and that was the bikini contest. Out of the seven lovely butt-shaking ladies, only one could win the $500 cash prize. Darlene Garcia is the lucky girl who wowed the crowd with her purple bikini, smooth skin, and great personality.

With the end of the bikini contest so comes the end of another super show. The award portion saw battles of the year come to a head with winners and losers alike acknowledging that this year was another good one. Next year's show will prove to be just as good as all the hype put together this year. We look forward to seeing you all there once again.
