Summer Jam Videos Of Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Etc..

CIMG9737

RealTalkNY was in the building for the annual Hot 97 Summer Jam last night. This year’s lineup included Kanye West, Lil Wayne, Alicia Keys, The Dream, D-Block, & Public Enemy. Rihanna was suppose to be there but ended up doing the MTV Movie Awards instead. Unfortunately I was still getting my tickets during The Dream’s performance, but I saw the rest of the show.

Videos and the rest of the review below

When I finally landed to my seats Alicia Keys was surprisingly already performing. That caught me off guard since it was like 6 something. Alicia first surprise guest was Maino who of course performed, “Hi Hater.” Alicia then brought out Raekwon, Method Man & Ghostface to do clips of, “C.R.E.A.M., ” Ice Cream,” & “M.E.T.H.O.D. Man.” I’m those rappers were there to keep the flow of the performance going since she is an R&B singer. She looked great and was enjoying herself and her singing capabilities are never in doubt, so she gave a solid performance.

Next up was a change of pace in the form of D-Block. I don’t think it was a good idea for them to play clips of there biggest songs and then not perform them for an intro. They still had the crowd hype and singing there songs words for word. Then the stage got extra crowded when, Red Cafe, Fat Joe, & Fabolous came out to perform the , “Paper Touchin Remix.” D-Block also brought out Cnn and LL Cool J came out and killed it. D Block was cool but I would of preferred more of there hits performed.

T-Pain came out two stepping with top hat on. He wasted no time bringing out Shawty Lo to perform, “Dey Know,” which got everyone hype. Then he bought out Miami in the form of DJ Khaled, Rick Ross, Fat Joe(well he got a house there) & Ace Hood. The ladies got gassed thinking Ace Hood was Lil Wayne, smh. Performance was cool.

Next up was Lil Wayne, the crowd was extremely hype to see him hit the stage. He came out doing, “A Milli,” follwed by his verse on the ,”Dey Know Remix.” He then does, “Duffle Bag Boy,” with Playaz Circle.” He does a couple of tracks and then starts playing the guitar. bad idea because he sucks at it lol, in the video you can hear girl saying wtf, lol. He then does, “Leather So Soft,” and then makes a horrible decision. He proceeds to perform Pussy Monster for 5 minutes which felt like an eternity. All the guys in the audience were being put to sleep by the third verse, and I think even the ladies got the point. He then does Lollipop which got everyone hype and brought out Kanye for the remix. I was not impressed by Lil Wayne’s performance at all, there is mad shit he could of performed to make his set poppin, It was a let down to me.

Next up was Kanye West performing, “Diamonds are Forever.” He had an elaborate setting with a lot of lighting, trying to bring some of the, “Glow In The Dark Tour,” feeling to hit set. He then does, “Champion,” “Get Em High,” & “Jesus Walks.” His performance was cool but it was annoying you can barely see him due to too much smoke and the main screen being turned off. Kanye brought out Consequence and later Young Jeezy to perform, “Put On.” He did a freestyle which I already posted, performed Flashing Lights with a model walking on stage & ended of with, “Good Life.” I was hoping for, “Big Brother,” followed by a Jay-Z appearance but was disappointed again. Kanye did a good job, but after seeing the, “Glow In The Dark Tour,” i wasn’t too excited for this one. Would of been better with less effects & smoke and more of Kanye just spitting.

Next was Public Enemy which was a performance I had to sit down for. I mean I like some of thier music but they was preaching waaaaaaaay too much. People in the audience weren’t even listening, they was playing lollipop in thier head. They were just out of place and took too long to get to songs people may know, they didn’t even perform, “He Got Game.” Then Flavor Flav got on the mic and would not let go of it, to the point I was hoping they would cut his mic lol. He did his thing with that dance he does though lol. Public Enemy need less talking and to perform songs people in the audience knew.

The surprise special guest turned out to be Jim Jones & Juelz. I was hoping for 50 cent to pop out since T.O.S. is on the way, but it ain’t happen. Jim Jones performed Certified Gangstaz and then Juelz got the crowd poppin with, “Santana’s Town.” At that point I had enough and dipped.

The show ended way earlier than last year, and I think last year was a better show. I got to say I was disappointed, with Lil Wayne & Kanye at the same show I was expecting more. But get a second opinion on the so because maybe my standards and/or expectations were too high.

Off subject but Let me just say this: Fuck 50 Cent!
That Nigga just done a Bitch move. Puttin’ C3 on thisis50.com?! The fuck is that?! Boo boo is mad cuz Wayne is gettin’ more attention than him?!
That was a bitch move by 50 scared that Wayne might rival his sound scan killing.
Just so you know, I’m not a Wayne stan just mad to see grown ass men pull fake ass bullshit like that.
Yeah I know C3 was already leaked but shiiiiit, put it on your website?!
50 Cent won’t get a dime from me anymore

RTNY >> I really dont think you expectations are too high…i usually agree with pretty much all your point of views….the way i see it is for the most part these dudes suck of shit (can that also be the reason why their albums dont sell)…these dudes are not performers/entertainers (except for jezzy and a select few), their retards w/ money and they are taking us (ppl who really love the genre) for idiots….

i guess long gone are the ‘98,’99,’00 ….

ps: you keep on talking about teh glow in the dark tour…bro I didnt catch in NYC, but saw the Mtl (montreal) show and only 3 words came to mind WACK AS FUCK !!!

pps: LMFAO @ WEEZY PLAYING THE GUITAR ….ahahahahahhahahahahahahhahaa (i think i just pissed myself)

Anyway, RTNY good review,,,keep doing your thing,,,the site just keeps on getting better

dmx(after rehab)
LL
nelly (and the crew)
throw some MJblige, some alicia, usher
luda

and thennnnnnnnnn…you take all thosse other dumb niggas on “im so hood remix” and you put them all on stage at the same time and you give them 3 1/2 minutes of fame

ms305allday wrote on June 2nd, 2008 at 12:18 pm

Didn’t seem interesting at all…Regarding C3 being on thisis50.com, U have to be brain dead to believe that 50 Cent is sitting at the computer posting other peoples albums on his website…Regular people have the authorization to post what they want the don’t get his approval, get a life!

18.
jaynyc4life wrote on June 2nd, 2008 at 12:30 pm

yeah # 16 that would definitely bring back summer jam like it used to be
and #9 i dont think 50 had anything to do with that being on his site it is his but they have there people who work on the site and have to put up all the latest info especially if they gonna keep up with all the other hot sites like this one even when he got his chain snactched that was on his site 2 so its not just bad stuff bout other people

i agree with numba 16 now that would be a hot summer jam i went this year and was mad dissapointed lil wayne musta been sippin that syrup before his performance cuz he was just on some other as hot as lollipop is i couldnt even get into it cuz he took to long he was bizzy humping the stage and tryna prove to the ladies he could eat the box yezzy did aight but im not impressed last year was much betta and its crazy cuz i misses most of it tryna dry the fuck off from all that rain alicia did her thing she looked hot and brought out the wu

RuffNeck wrote on June 2nd, 2008 at 2:26 pm

Nkauss you’re a fucking idiot if you though I believed 50 actually “posted” the thing himself but I’m sure he had something to say about it. You don’t post a full album on such a blog randomly. It a pretty serious act and therefore a pretty serious decision.

23.
realtalknewark wrote on June 2nd, 2008 at 2:31 pm

wayne should never pick up a guitar. bo diddley (a man who was phenomenal on the guitar, and never got the proper recognition) hasnt been buried yet, but he is sure to be turning over his grave after this bs. i wish wayne would hurry up and snort that mountain he referred to at one time and overdose. but at that point, most of the idiots that think he’s the best rapper, may actually believe he should be held in the same regard as tupac and b.i.g.

What in the hell?..RTNY-you think “He Got Game” is a Public Enemy classic??..I don’t know if i can trust a review from someone who thinks that. Do some research-”Bring the Noise”,”Fight the Power”,”Can’t Truss it”,”Welcome to the Terrordome”-Classics…that’s the shit to expect from P.E…

haha…i agree with #16

out of town..wack ass performers…i remember back in the day they hated to perform in ny because the people wouldn’t even give em the time of day.

oh well…guess the young’ns got brainwashed and dumbdowned over the years to accept mediocre music.

Next Angie Martinez comes out she asks the crowd who they came to see she says did yall come to see public enemy,did yall come to see knaye,and then she says who elseoh yea did yall come to see weezy.A loud cheer comes from the crowd.

i jus think people wanted him to perform more songs
butif you look at youtube footage of weezys concerts he always performs pussymonster and gets the guitar for leather so soft.
But i was listening to miss jones on hot 97 they was shitting on him for doing pussy monster
I guess he could have did more i was suprised he didnt dogot money featuring t-pain snce its his next single

but he perfroms his two single a milli and lollipop,he did his hottest verse dey know remix and he did duffle bag boy.He did his hardest song Im Me.i guess people jus felt like he was wasting time doing pussy monster and playing on the guitar when he could have done more hits.But anyways the girls loved every mintue

and also the bass at the concert from the speakers were crazy my heart was fucking pounding
