Last weekend, New York‘s Hot 97′s hosted their 22nd annual Summer Jam concert at New Jersey‘s MetLife Stadium. The biggest stars in Hip-Hop and R&B performed at the stadium-filled concert including rapper Fabolous.
As usual, donbleek.com was reporting live from the press/media area (most of our updates appeared on Instagram @donbleekcom). The event was streamed on TIDAL. You could read the full recap here.
For the event, Fab wore a white hoodie which was layered over a custom White On White NY Knicks Home Jersey by Renzocardoni styled with blue denim jeans. His outfit was accessorized with a NY Knicks fitted cap and a pair of Ewing Athletics 33 Hi OG “Triple White” sneakers.
The biggest surprise of the night and my favorite moment was when Brooklyn‘s own Fabolous brought out just about every major New York artist from the 90’s and early 2000’s during his segment. This was my favorite part of the show because this was the Hip-Hop era that I grew up in. Back when emcees were really lyrically. The Def Jam rapper opened his set with “She Wildin” and “Ball Drop” with guests Chris Brown and French Montana, followed by bringing artists out from the ‘Golden Era of Hip-Hop‘ — Black Rob “Whoa,“ Busta Rhymes “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Could See” and M.O.P.‘s “Ante Up (remix)” as Remy Ma appeared on stage to deliver her verse, followed by a performance of “Lean Back” featuring Fat Joe. This was Remy Ma and Fat Joe‘s first time performing “Lean Back” together since Remy Ma was released from prison last summer after doing a little over six-years. That was just the beginning of Fab‘s star-studded segment. He also brought out Method Man and Red Man, who performed “Da Rockwilder,” followed by Raekwon who performed “C.R.E.A.M.” Fab then took it to Queens, NY by bringing out Mobb Deep for “Shook Ones Pt. II“. After being joined by Lil Kim in 2013, the Queen Bee supported Fab again this year. She came out during Mobb Deep’s performance of “Quiet Storm (remix), performing her hardcore verse. Kim later performed her classics including “Get Money” and “Money, Power and Respect,” bringing out The Lox, who also performed “We Gon Make It“. Ma$e helped Fab end his set by performing “Feels So Good” and “Been Around The World“.
