“LamboTruck” could be a standout track from ‘ROTD3′ though.

J. Cole & Meek Mill Perform At The NBA All-Star Game [WATCH]

It’s not a complete All-Star weekend without the culture making its impact on it. Meek Mill opened the game up yesterday with a pre-game performance, while J. Cole had a homecoming with a halftime performance in his hometown of North Carolina.

Meek Mill provided the soundtrack of each team’s introduction with a performance that began with the album’s ‘Championships’ album “Intro” before doing a medley that included “Going Bad” and “Uptown Vibes.” He then performed the culture’s national anthem “Dreams & Nightmares (Intro).”

Cole took over the court for the halftime show where he brought out a gang of Dreamville fans with him to spectate as he ran through his classics. Draped in a vintage Charlotte Hornets jacket and Fear of God jeans the Fayettville product delivered a 10-minute set of old and recent hits.

He began the halftime performance with his new single “Middle Child” and then continued with his “a lot” verse as he made his way into the crowd and shouted: “21 Savage, we love you.” Cole kept the energy going with “ATM” off ‘KOD’ and then slowed things down with a performance of his “favorite song,” “Love Yourz.” His performance ended with “No Role Modelz.”
