One of the most anticipated moments of Hot 97's Summer Jam concert on Sunday night
The New York Super Bowl is still years away, but the Super Bowl of hip hop touched down Sunday at the New Meadowlands Stadium. The new home of the Giants and Jets - and the site of the 2014 Super Bowl was bumping as some of rap's biggest names took to the stage for Summer Jam 2010. With no major new local rap or R&B stars to speak of, Hot 97's annual Summer Jam soiree has for the past few years subsisted on old standbys and imported talent largely of Southern heritage. This year's event, at the New Meadlowlands Stadium, continues the pattern, with Fabolous, Juelz Santana and Talib Kweli (performing with Hi-Tek as Reflection Eternal) representing the New York veteran contingent, within a bill that's both South-heavy (Ludacris, Gucci Mane, DJ Khaled) and geographically diverse (Canada's Drake and native Ohioan Usher are the coheadliners). This year's event at the New Meadlowlands Stadium will be on fire, a new name with a local pedigree performing: If her colorful, spastic appearances in recent video/singles like Ludacris's "My Chick Bad" and Usher's "Lil Freak" and her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty are any indications, Nicki Minaj has the tools to steal the show. It's a pseudo-homecoming for the LaGuardia grad and Jamaica, Queens, native, whose stock skyrocketed after she aligned with Lil Wayne's Young Money camp. Usher Claims Fourth Week At No.1, Preps For Summer Jam. Usher is yet again holding down the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. Usher is prepping for an anticipated performance at Summer Jam 2010. One of the most anticipated moments of Hot 97's Summer Jam concert on Sunday night was one that was unadvertised, though all the fans felt it was a foregone conclusion: the reunion of the New York rap giants the Diplomats. Juelz Santana was on the bill with his first solo set, but instead of bringing out the members of his unit, he brought out the youngest member of the G-Unit, Lloyd Banks. They made for one of the strongest moments of the night with their smash "Beamer, Benz or Bentley." But what happened to the Dip's reunion? One source close to their camp said Jim Jones had some issues with security and police and was not granted entrance in the new Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. Drake and Nicki Minaj made their first appearance at Hot 97's annual Summer Jam concert at the Meadowlands Sports Complex in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday (June 6). The Young Money Millionaires treated the crowd to a performance of their new collaboration "Up All Night" from Thank Me Later. The concert was billed as "The Future," and rightly so. Drake, Minaj and J. Cole have yet to release official albums. Summer Jam first arrived on the local scene in 1995, and has been headlined by megastars such as the Notorious B.I.G., the Wu Tang Clan, 50 Cent, Fat Joe and Mary J. Blige .
