Wiz Kalifa had the final performance at the Beale Street Music Festival this year, and he brought Juicy J onto the stage with him to do a couple of songs, including the classic Memphis rap anthem “Slob On My Knob.” As they performed, lightning and thunder began to approach the festival from across the river.
