Hot 97’s Summer Jam is Hip Hops’ annual equivalent of Woodstock. The festival takes the most popular, best selling and most celebrated MCs and R&B artists of the year and ensembles them into a one night only performance. The show has become almost historical in the hip hop world for the surprise guests that take the stage (Michael Jackson moon walked on the stage as Jay-z’s special guest), the ever present possibility of spontaneous disses (Jay-z’s first unveiling of Takeover, The Game’s presentment of a mascot rat to represent 50 cent) and of course the headliner of the show who usually holds the crown as top MC of the year.
Summer Jam 2008 took place this past weekend and this year’s the line-up included: Alicia Keys, T-pain, Public Enemy, Lil Wayne, D-Block, Ray-J, Young Berg and Kanye West amongst many others. The highlights of the show include an always spirited performance by Lil Wayne who tore his way through his early hits, his latest joints and mix tape favorites driving the audience in attendance into frenzy. Kanye brought a mini version of his high energy Glow in the Dark tour performance to the stage including our personal favorite “HYPEBEAST” punch line freestyle. Alicia Keys shocked the crowd by bringing out legendary MCs Method Man and Raekwon. One of the biggest highlights of the night is when both Wayne and Kanye took the stage with each other to perform the “Lollipop Remix”.
