Guess I’m not the only one in the hip-hop biz that’s feuding right now. Nicki Minaj and the whole YMCMB crew pulled their act from the show in a heated moment after a Hot 97 DJ openly dissed Nicki’s talent. Nothing unusual - controversy is always a huge part of Summer Jam, but the crowd was not happy and neither was Nicki. I’m not the hugest fan of Nicki’s music, (as you know), but she has a great energy on stage and Lil Wayne and his gang always bring it. Luckily, Lauryn Hill and Nas saved the show with their performances, including “If I Ruled The World,” which got everyone in the crowd going. Seems to always be the classic hip-hop moguls who dominate the show… kind of similar to the classic and original, great tasting MIKE AND IKE® candies dominating in the candy aisle. Which reminds me, my Strawberry Or Die video I produced with Blaze played on the jumbotron at the concert and the crowd went wild! Mike and Blaze, taking over!
