IN CASE U MISSED IT: HOT 97 SUMMER JAM ’08

Tweet

Check out these video clip highlights from Hot 97′s 2008 Summer Jam. Alicia Keys, The Dream, Lil’ Wayne, Kanye and others hit the stage. The clip above is Alicia Keys bringing out the WU.

At Alicia’s command the DJ goes into Wendy Renes’ “After The Laughter” which is sampled in “Where Do We Go From Here” (and in Wu Tang’s “Tears”)…after teasing us with the Wu she calls Raekwon to the stage to do a piece of “Incarcerated Scarfaces”…

7:24, Method man and Ghostface join them both to do “C.R.E.A.M.” Who knew Alicia was gonna bring the Wu?? The UrbanDaily.com

T-Pain Brings Out Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Akon & Red Cafe

Here’s a recap of Weezy’s wack ass set…somebody better snatch that “best rapper alive” title from his rat looking ass.

8:30 Hot 97′s Angie Martinez introduces Lil Wayne and Weezy F Baby emerges from another cloud of smoke spitting a Mr. Robot flow to “A Million” off of the up-coming Carter III. The crowd’s energy isn’t quite there because these aren’t yet household favorites. Titty Boy from Playaz Circle joins Weezy wearing a Gucci “murse” (man purse)…so far this is a disappointment. Wayne put on a way better performance at his last Summer Jam appearance. As the sun sets on the arena Wayne seems to have picked the wrong crowd to try and prove he’s lyrical with. The minimalist beats he spits over do little to move the crowd as he drops in plugs for his album “Carter III, June 10th, Carter III, June 10th…”

8:37 Wayne takes off his shirt to the biggest applause of his set so far…he tells the DJ to “do that shit..” and drops “Fire Man” from The Carter 2.

8:43 In the midst of what seems to be a Lauryn Whinehouse moment Wayne breaks out his guitar to play “Leather So Soft”..urrr…yeah..At least do “Shooter” if you gonna break out the axe, shun.

People to the left and right of me are texting like crazy, probably all wondering wtf is up with Lil Wayne…

8:46…a muffled acapella of a song that some hard core fans in the audience rhyme along to. His DJ is beatboxing off beat like a mo’fo while Wayne plays with his jewelry. “I smack it up and flip it like a spatula…” Now only wearing one chain he eye-fucks the girls in the front row and drops to his knees, then to his back, wiping fake tears from his eyes….

8:51..Wayne is clearly f*cking with us…Finally does “Lollilop” hanging a camera from his microphone and gives the most normal part of his performance thus far.. Maybe he’s pissed because his album leaked early but Lil Wayne was not focused tonight.

8:56 Kanye swoops in to rescue the floundering set with his cameo on the “Lollipop” remix. They bow to each other before Wayne exits to Whitney Houston’s “I will Always Love You,” the only remnant of his last Summer Jam performance. His roadies throw a bath robe on him and he fades to black…-The UrbanDaily.com
