Mount Westmore may be a new hip-hop quartet, but its legendary members have decades of hits between them — and the BottleRock Napa Valley crowd, which spanned generations, proved they were the true headliners of the second night of the festival.

With Bay Area rap pioneersE-40andToo Short, along with Southern California hip-hip iconsSnoop Doggand Ice Cube, BottleRock promoters may have underestimated Mount Westmore’s star power when they booked the group on the smaller Verizon Stage while alt-rock band Twenty One Pilots held court on the main Jam Cellars Stage on Saturday, May 28.

Opening with their new single, “Big Subwoofer,” the rappers moved through a set loaded with songs that have defined the sound of West Coast rap since the 1980s — from Too Short’s “Blow the Whistle” and Snoop’s (with Dr. Dre) “The Next Episode” to Ice Cube’s “Check Yo’ Self” and E-40’s “Tell Me When to Go.”

And that was all within the first 15 minutes.

Fans whooped as E-40 said, “Hello, Wine Country!” and promised to take it back to “Friday 1995.” The crowd sang along to every verse of familiar hits such as “We Be Clubbin’,” “Gin and Juice” and “1-Luv.”

The rappers, who sat in gold thrones when not performing, were there to revel in their ongoing reign as some of the biggest hip-hop stars in the business, and with most of the BottleRock demographic over 40, the audience was there for it. (Well, that and the dancers who performed onstripper polesonstage.)

“If you are 40 and under and from the Bay Area … it could have happened that Too Short f— your mama,” Too Short quipped from the stage.

Toward the end of the set, San Francisco 49ers tight end George Kittle joined the rappers onstage as the hits kept coming: Too Short’s “Freaky Tales,” Snoop Dogg’s “Drop It Like It’s Hot,” E-40’s “Choices,” ending with a huge shout-along of Ice Cube’s “It Was a Good Day.”

Ahead of their triumphant headlining set, Too Short and E-40 dropped by the Culinary Stage to join retired Oakland Athletics left-fielder Rickey Henderson and Oakland pit master Matt Horn, a James Beard-nominated chef, to learn how to make perfect fried chicken.
