Summer Jam 2013 Megapost

If you missed Summer Jam this year, you missed a lot. (lies)

The love was definitely in the air for Hot 97 this year as celebrities came out of the woodwork to show their appreciation for the New York station and it’s 20th year throwing one of the biggest concerts in the nation. The line up was long, and the list of surprise guests even longer as acts like Joe Budden, Miguel, Chris Brown, Wale, Wu Tang, Kendrick Lamar, A$AP Rocky, Fabolous, 2 Chainz and French Montana hit the stage. It seemed as though there was a battle of who could pull the most surprises out of their hat as Miguel brought out special guests Mariah and J. Cole, A$AP Rocky brought out Bone Thugs & Harmony & Trinidad James, and French Montana brought out Rick Ross, DJ Khaled, Ace Hood and Lil Wayne just before lightning struck and the venue pulled the plug on the concert.

Other notable surprises came in the form of Lil Kim, who came out with Fabolous, and Nicki Minaj who came out during 2 Chainz’s set. Foxy Brown was also spotted backstage. (How huge would it had been if Lil Kim, Nicki Minaj and Foxy Brown hit the stage at the SAME DAMN TIME –all beefs aside. If Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg and Nicki Minaj can squash their beef, clearly these ladies can too!!!] The most talked about guest appearance was proabably Papoose, who Lil Mama’d the show. He wasn’t scheduled or approved to come out, however, somehow or another his DJ slid in the booth after Kendrick Lamar performed, and he was able to get a few rap bars and a “Free Remy” in.

Jay-Z and Beyonce made an appearance backstage and everyone was holding on to their seats hoping that Jay would come out and perform, “B-tch Don’t Kill My Vibe” with Kendrick Lamar, but unfortunately that never happened. Funkmaster Flex tweeted afterward:

Every year we wait, hope, And pray this guy [Jay-Z] hits the stage!!! Even when he doesn’t he is still the talk!! Amazing!!! #sjxx
