Jay Z Straight Clowned Mobb Deep in Concert!!!

[Sir Hambone]

yo..i give jay z credit...he clowned them good.....haha....


UNIONDALE, New York — When hip-hop's reigning microphone king needed a little help driving home the point that he wasn't about to relinquish his crown anytime soon, he simply placed a call to none other than the self-proclaimed King of Pop.

Jay-Z, the headliner at Thursday's Hot 97 Summer Jam 2001, shocked the sold-out crowd at Long Island's Nassau Coliseum when he brought Michael Jackson onstage during a break in his performance. Although M.J. didn't perform — not live, anyway, considering a sample of the Jackson 5's "I Want You Back" was used in the set-closing "H to the Izzo" — just his presence was enough to elicit the loudest pop of the night from a crowd that had already seen performances by Ja Rule, Destiny's Child, R. Kelly, Ludacris, Eve, Nelly and Outkast. (Click HERE for photos from Summer Jam.)

"I know Michael Jackson better come from behind that muthaf---in' curtain," Jay-Z said during what had to be 90 of the longest seconds of his career. Jigga had just announced Jackson to the crowd, but the music icon failed to make his entrance. The audience seemed to think Jay was joking — who would expect Jackson to appear at such a hip-hop-heavy concert?

But Jay quickly figured out that with cargo as precious as this, it's probably best to hand-deliver it to the crowd.

"You want me to go back and get him myself?" Jay asked a girl in the front row. "OK, I'm 'a go get him."

Seconds later the two walked out and posed for photos together. In one of the pictures, Mike struck a b-boy stance with his arms folded. Jackson's only words to the crowd were "I love you all" before he exited the stage, but Jay-Z fans can expect to hear more from him. According to Roc-a-Fella Records, Jackson will make a guest appearance on Jay's next album, and although Jay attempted to return the favor, his contributions are not currently scheduled to appear on Jackson's long-awaited new LP.

Jackson wasn't the only guest Jay brought out with him, however. His Roc-a-Family crew Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek stayed onstage with him throughout the performance, and Missy Elliott popped up to perform "Is That Your Chick" and a verse from "Get Ur Freak On." Violin player Miri Benari was brought onboard for "Big Pimpin'," while EPMD showed support for Beans and Bleek by performing "So Wat Cha Sayin'" with them before Eric Sermon went into "Music."

Jay began his set by arriving onstage backed by what seemed to be all the tenants of Brooklyn's Marcy Houses project. He told everyone how focused he was before going into his verses from Mya's "Best of Me" remix.

"There's a lot of sh-- going on in rap music," he stopped to tell his fans. "A lot of cats yappin'. Y'all know what I do — your boy handles his business."

Jay then started to freestyle, shooting back at everyone who's been dissing him lately. Hardest hit was Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Not only did Jay make fun of P's small frame by saying, "We got money stacks bigger than you," but Jigga poked fun at the Queens rapper's past, saying, "You's a ballerina, I seen ya," and showing photos of an adolescent Prodigy at his grandmother's dancing school. The photos, displayed on four huge screens that hung over the stage, showed Prodigy in leotards and a sparkling jacket.

But the fire Jay spit was nothing compared to the venom the audience spewed on Destiny's Child. The crowed booed in unison as soon as the group was introduced. On the song "So Good," Beyoncé Knowles put a little more bass and feeling in her voice when she sang, "This is for the haters who thought we wouldn't make it."

Keeping their game faces on, the girls finished their set, closing with "Survivor," but their determination did not impress the crowd, which booed after practically every song — especially when the girls would taunt the audience back by sarcastically saying, "Thank you."

Although the audience members showed R. Kelly love, they were left disappointed by his relatively brief performance. He didn't do either of his two hit songs with Jay-Z or his current single, "Feelin' on Yo Booty." His show was limited to "Home Alone," during which he brought out Keith Murray, "I Wish" and its remix, and an a cappella rendition of "R&B Thug."

Jadakiss proved you could make your appearance short but still keep it sweet. Coming out toward the end of Eve's set, the applause he received was only overshadowed by Jay-Z's and M.J.'s as he performed "Put Your Hands Up" and "We Gon' Make It."

For the past two years, Summer Jam's luster was somewhat tarnished by violent outbreaks because of the people bumrushing the doors of the concert's former home, New Jersey's Continental Airlines Arena. This year you had to show your ticket just to get into the coliseum's parking lot, cutting down on unruly loiterers.

"I don't think anybody is thinking about [violence]," said one audience member. "Everybody is here to have a good time. You know how long we all been waiting to see this show?"

[Jay ay Beee]

Funny shit

Americans





(No offence intended

[ImmortalOne]

Jay can diss all he wants, but he has never made an album that is even close to The Infamous or Murda Muzik.

[West Coast Veteran]

i liked Reasonable Doubt...

[Ro J. Simpson]

hellrazor thats bullshit, dead presidents and volume 3 were both considerately better than murda muzik, that pisses on anything mobb deep have ever done, and its true. word.

peace

[H2O proof MC]

yo does anyone have the pic that Jigga held up of Prodigy in his ballerina outfit when he was little.

Your kidding me

Maybe Reasonable Doubt (The cd you called Dead Presidents), but Volume3. PLEASE

& You say it SHITS on it, like you saying that none of Mobb Deeps shit is good. Man they drop classics in my opinion. Juvenile Hall was average & Prodigy's HNIC was dissapointing, but The Infamous Hell On Earth & Murda Muzik are the shit!@

thats wat im telling you

my bad, his first album then

jay's flow is top notch, his beats are off tha heezy and the production is good, look at volume 3, most songs are good songs, and songs that hav an upbeat feel to them, and u can bump anytime, murda muzik is giood, no doubt. but mobb deep do really good songs or in my opinion really wack songs, i think volume 3 PISSES on murda muzik, by a CONIDERABLE amount

peace

There is no way in hell that vol. 3 is better then murda muzik. Reasonable doubt shits on murda muzik though.

True, but lets not forget, everyone has there own tastes.

To me, Reasonable Doubt is a lil overrated, but still a tight cd & is a bit better than any of deeps cds, thou All of Mobb Deeps cd's (except Juvinile hell) are great cds & consistant

I dont know why everyone hating on Prodigy. That guy is one of the best rappers & he is real. Plus I respect him for all his pain he endores with Sickle Cell, thou I gotta admit, his rhymes can reek of Canibustitude (All Canibus rhymes about is how good he is, Prodigy does that a fair bit too).

[ImmortalOne]

Call me a hater, but I CANT stand Jay Z. Im an open minded hip hop head who listens to west coast, east coast, south, and midwest, but I have never liked Jay Z, and probably never will. I personally think he spits shallow lyrics over watered down beats. "The Infamous" absolutly shits on any Jay Z album. The Infamous, along with Illmatic, 36 Chambers, and Ready To Die help rejuvinate the east coast.

[AlerG]

yo what's up with DC getting bood so much lately, i thought they were maddd popular, i never liked them so it doesn't bother me although i'd fuck the hell outta the group, peace.

[cremedelaclem]

reasanable doubt is better than any of mob deeps albums in my opinion....although 'hell on earth' is pretty amazing...

however volume 3 is NOWHERE NEAR as good as murda musik....i cant beleive you said that son.

volume 3 is a pop cd with one good track ('so ghetto') and a lot of party tunes.

murda muzik, on the other hand, is raw and hella dope.

[Smooth]

yeah i really don't understand why DC got booed? i was like POSITIVE they were really popular!?

and on the Jay-Z Mobb thing... i think Reasonable Doubt is the best album between both Jay-Z and Mobb Deep... but any other Jay Z album i dont like... and Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik i fuckin loved... so it's pretty close who's better in my opinion
