Was it a song by Justice?

Lupe started shortly after 7pm. I would say the UC was 3/4 full. He performed "Hip-Hop Saved My Life", "Kick Push", "Go Go Gadget", "Paris Tokyo", "Fighters", and "Superstar". Lupe's a great performer. He encored with "Daydreamin." He had a girl perform as well....gosh, I forget her name, but the track was dope as hell.
N.E.R.D. was next up, and let me tell you, their set was one of the hypest that I've ever witnessed. The crowd was in a frenzy. I dont remember their opening track, but they performed "Rockstar", "Lapdance", "She Wants To Move", "Everyone Nose", "Brain", and "Spazz." There were about 25 dudes on stage during "Spazz", including Chris Brown. Dude was doin his patented dance moves. The camera would focus on him, and the crowd went nuts. The whole vibe during that song was insane. The arena was rocking.....really amazing to see. The energy was off the charts. Pharell, Shay, Chad, and the band were terrific. At one point some girls came on to the stage to dance. Some were nice, one was kinda chubby and getting to grindy.
Rihanna was up next. She performed all of her hits. "SOS", "Pon De Replay", "Breakin Dishes", "Unfaithful", "Stop the Music", "Take a Bow", and a Chris Brown-less "Umbrella." Rihanna looked like a outer space witch, but she performed well. I sat down during two songs I think, but I really enjoyed it.
After about 35 minutes Kanye came out and opened with "Good Morning." Crowd was going nuts. His stage was combination space ship/ planet looking. The video effects were great, the screens were crystal clear, and the sound was great. He performed "I Wonder", "Heard 'Em Say" ,Through the Wire", "Champion", "Get 'Em High", "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", "Can't Tell Me Nothing"", Flashing Lights", "Spaceship , "All Falls Down", "Gold Digger", "Good Life", "Jesus Walks", "Hey Mama" ........when he goes "i wanna scream so loud for you" he would urge the crowd, and we got loud as hell.
"Don't Stop Believing" came on while Ye had a seat on the astro hill. Then he did "Stronger", "Homecoming", and finished with "Touch the Sky" with Lupe. Crowd was in a frenzy. He didn't address the crowd much until the end when he told us how much he loved Chicago. He told how he made it out the South side, and Lupe from the West, to make it big. Ye's mom taught at Chicago State, and while she preferred that he get his education, she supported her son all the way.
I was in section 110 row 14, to the left of the stage if you had been looking straight on. It's amazing to look up and around the arena in mid-song. Seeing all the people with their hands and diamonds in the sky was truly a sight to behold. As expected there were lots of people wearing the "Stronger" glasses and Kanye tour shirts. I wore the teal and yellow GITD shirt with the ginger AJ XIV lows.
The majority of the crowd was Caucasian, but there were lots of other races, backgrounds, and genres present. It was a fantastic show. All in all it was one of the best concerts I've ever been to. I was disappointed that Lupe was the guest during Kanye's set. I thought maybe Common or Twista would make an appearance, but Kanye stuck to his usual playlist. Dude gave 100% and the crowd loved him for it. The people going on Saturday are in for a treat.
...and they say "Chi-City".
