It was an evening that bridged the gap between hip-hop’s past and present. From Alicia Keys and Wu-Tang Clan to Rick Ross and Kanye West to LL Cool J and Public Enemy, Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam concert, at Giant’s Stadium, was a night that saw the new school artists get schooled by the old school artists. Artist after Artist came on stage but it was LL Cool J who started the crowd up, The G.O.A.T turned it out with headsprung. The much talked about Lil Wayne turned in one of the nights worst performance’s. The crowd barely moved or swayed as he went thru his usual list of trash tracks, I think I saw a couple of 13 year olds dancing to lollipop in the corner of the stadium, but for the most part he was a big flop. Public Enemy came out and tore the stage up with fight the power. Chuck D can still hold it down with the best of them, Public Enemy had the best performace of the night, it is no wonder they are the greatest rap group of all time. Kanye west was the main event and he bombed just like Lil Wayne, he did a freestyle at the end of his set trying to get some kind of applause out of the crowd, but the back pack rapper doesnt move real hip hop heads. Overall Hiphopspy would have to say it was worth it to see the old school acts, but most of the current day acts have no stage presence and are not worth seeing under any setting.
