If this picture of Remy Ma performing at Summer Jam 06
is any indication, I'm inclined to believe the Internet
The fabled NY Hot 97 Summer Jam in the past
set the stage for some of Hip Hop's most legendary beefs.
It was at Summer Jam 04 that Jay Z delivered the famous
line," Ask Nas, he don't want it with Hov."
and at Summer Jam 05 The Game ripped 50 Cent
and the G-Unit by beating down a guy
dressed in a rat suit and wearing a G-UNot t-shirt.
This year, with Dip Set scheduled to close out the show,
the Internet was wild with stories about how Cam'ron was
gon diss Jay Z. I mean damn, Cam did put out two diss
records on Jay this year. So it would make sense, no?
It was rumored that Cam had a
picture of some illigetimate kid he claimed belonged
to Jay and he was gon flash the tyke on the big screen.
Didn't happen.
How lame. From what I hear, Cam didn't let Jay's name come out
his mouth. I wonder why?
Anyway
The show was star studded.
Mary J. Blige tore up the spot, then fell on her ass leaving the stage.
Busta Rhymes and his hype man performed wearing
football jerseys, pads and helmets, which I suspect hid bulletproof vests.
Da Brat... why was she there again?
Oh yeah, because Jermaine Dupree was there with Janet,
who he kissed on stage, and he brought Dem Franchise Boys.
Jamie Fox was there, and Chris Brown and Ne-Yo and
Oscar-winning rappers 3-6 Mafia, who performed without
Crunchy Black who is longer a part of the crew.
Young Jeezy and T.I performed too,
but they cut the mikes off on 'em.
Did I mention it was raining?
If you believe what you read on the Internet
the Summer Jam was a Summer Scam.
