50 Cent, Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne and Nas are among the artists who are slated to appear at Hot 97s Summer Jam 2014 concert.
The event, which is slated to take place June 1 at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, is also scheduled to feature The Roots and friends, Troy Ave, Action Bronson, Kid Ink, Wiz Khalifa, Trey Songz, YMCMB, DJ Mustard, YG and Ty Dolla $ign.
The concert’s Festival Stage is set to feature Childish Gambino, Iggy Azalea, Nipsey Hussle, Chinx, Jhene Aiko, Mack Wilds and August Alsina.
Hot 97’s Summer Jam is widely considered the the most significant Rap concert of the year. It also, at times, features noteworthy appearances and controversy.
In 2012, for instance, Nicki Minaj pulled out of Hot 97’s Summer Jam after the station’s radio personality Peter Rosenberg made comments about her single “Starships” being “bullshit.”
Lil Wayne broke his silence on the matter during an interview with MTV News, saying that he was honoring his associate’s feelings by canceling her appearance.
“First of all, I approached the situation like this: that’s a female, first and foremost,” he said. “Nicki Minaj is a female. I don’t know what anyone else believe, but I believe that females deserve the ultimate respect at all times no matter what, where, when or how. So as soon as she called me and said she felt disrespected, I just declined everything and pulled her from the show because first of all, no person that works with me – because no one works for me – no person that works with me will be disrespected in my presence as long as I’m on this planet.”
Nicki Minaj performed at the 2103 edition of the concert.
Also in 2012, Nas brought Lauryn Hill on stage to perform with him at the concert. Hill emerged to the tune of the Fugees’ “Ready or Not,” singing the chorus and rapping verses from the song. She then segued into “Lost Ones” and joined Nas to perform his “If I Ruled the World” single.

HAHAHAH Nicki and Lil Wayne? I thought they weren’t going to fuck with Hot 97 nomore?
Fifty sucks!! HE will always suck.. his rap skills fell off who cares about this scrub
Oh, no! 50 Cent’s name is on the headline. Get prepared for many Rick Ross vs. 50 Cent arguments headed your way.
i hope bruthadee writes an essay about how 50 has no friends left because he’s a crab who beats women and does anything he can to appeal to white people because blacks have no money.
and rik rozz is the biggest boss with the blackest fans and teh most monies. check the scoreboard.
I run NEW YORK!
Rick Ross will be performing at Denny’s up the street.
GGGG-UNITTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
50 got the summer on smash anyway
You 50 haters are going to be so mad at this HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
2003 all over again ya dig
Rick Ross ended 50’s career. When Actual Ambition comes out, it will sell 20k opening week and 50k total.
Ross is that you?
thats good he indy. owns all rights to the music so he will recoup and make a profit. ross doesnt recoup going gold on a major with all the promotion and big name producers and features and marketing. thses niggas hustle for fame. 50 the biggest and now he gets to own his catalog. what u rather be filthy rich or hood famous. cuz ross only famous to black people and wannabees only going gold
^^^ damn son went in
MMG all over the radio but yet 50 Cent headlining the biggest concert of the year with over 80,000 fans. I thought some of you ppl said he was irrelevant or he fell off? Where y’all at now? Where you at Rick Ross? Where you at Steve Stoute? lmbo
50 crawled to wayne and begged him to get a supporting role.
Do you really think Summer Jam is really the “biggest concert of the year”? Because that’s hilariously wrong.
^^it is so you are wrong
wayne? his last 3 albums all trash nobody fucks with wayne y
Ross can never end a career when he has yet to go platinum
1. There’s a fucking reply button dumbass.
2. How many times are you going to get your facts wrong? According to a promo for mastermind, POM went platinum.
LOOOOOOL POM didn’t go plat
I gave you a source. Look it up.
That source was a lie.
Checking the scoreboard 50’s winning, headlining summer jam yet Ross released an album as is nowhere to be seen
Mastermind went no.1 while 50’s last album barely made the top 5. WTF are you talking about.
HHDX manipulates 50s names because his E-Army of male fanatics always spam his stories, LOL, he did these huge YouTube videos with these nerdy white kids and now they represent him on every blog, it’s sooooo funny.
easy to get a number one when nothing else drops a number 1 record for 1 week lol don’t get you certified for jack shit
HOOO OHHH FIDDY BOUTTA SHUT THIS SHIT DOWN NIGGA AAHHHHHHHHHHH
People want to see YMCMB and the kegend Nas, I hope Nas disses 50 again on stage like he did before.
50 dissed Nas again last week LOL but the media didnt run with it.
lol 50 album aint even out yet he’s on Summer Jam thats a win for 50 I say lmao!!!!!
While Fiddy struggles to get an album out and makes cameos in straight to dvd films Rozay just opened up about 7 MMG themed WingStops in the South at about 400K a pop with 1.5 million insurance on each one and their Champagne Belaire Ros is one of the fastest growing on the market. MMG has the rap game by the tits.
struggle? hahaa you missed the memo 50 indie now he do what the fucks he want the same way he just flooded the market with singles for the past month all of 50 singles high on the charts all above masterflop that album is so trash.
hes sold 25k singles total
The industry already heard 50s entire album he won before he started putting out singles dx will give it a 4 to much heat the world didn’t hear yet kiss,styles,prodigy,kidd,?,?, the last 2 you can sorta figure it out. be back june 3rd suckas.

nas lost if this is 4 real. opening up for fiddy cent, lol, 50 used to open for nas back in the day.
dafuq you talking about its not the 50 cent tour its summer jam don’t be stupid
He’s still the headlining artist closing the show though.
I be telling you niggas Nas has the most L’s in the industry. Just read that book “Nas Lost: A Tribute To The Little Homie”
No, he doesn’t. That book sucked ass and is nothing but lies.
Okay, so if Nas “lost”, then so did everyone else since they’re also “opening up” for 50. I love how y’all just single out the person you hate the most.
i dont hate nas but hes supposed to be the GOAT rapper, 20+ years in the game, he should he closing the show
^ Fair enough, but honestly, I do think 50 closing out Summer Jam is a good idea. He is making his comeback after all. What better way than to close SJ with a bang? I just didn’t like the way the above commenters made it sound like it was 50’s concert when it’s really not.
easy to get a number one when nothing else drops a number 1 record for 1 week lol don’t get you certified for jack shit”
1. Pharrell was big competition. Ross still won at the end.
2. Everyone else stood the fucks away from ross.
“Pharrell was big competition. Ross still won at the end.”
What do you mean in the end? Pharrell has outsold Ross for the last 2 weeks and has a 3x plat single… shit is just gettin started.
“Everyone else stood the fucks away from ross.”
Yeah because he’s about to eat their food.
“Everyone else stood the fucks away from ross”
your English stood the fuks away from you lmao
OH SHIT! Didn’t a fight break out on stage last time 50 played Summer Jam?
Niggas started throwing chairs and records back and forth. Godfather 50 caught a chair in his hand.
I WAS ACTUALLY THERE FOR THAT LOL MY FIRST AND LAST SUMMER JAM. THINK I MAY GET TIX FOR THIS ONE.
French Montana lost.
The important question everyone wants to know is who’s going to let Papoose perform a song during their set again?
I wonder if Ross will be making a guest appearance this year or if he’ll be in hiding.
Summer Jam is for artists who have fallen off. Ross is on top of the game.
Godfather 50 is about to bring New York back big time. I bet he brings out Fat Joe, The Lox, Mobb Deep, M.O.P., Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo and maybe Juelz and Jimmy if they’re lucky.
That would be amazing, 50 would get respect from everyone with that move
I might have to check this out. At least 50 will probably have his shirt off because it’s summer so we can all look forward to that. If Nas was smart he would bring Rozay out and they would diss Curtis before his set.
50 has a sick body…dude inspired me to start lifting
why would he do that when him and fif are good now
I hope Nicki Minaj isn’t still around in 2103. The editors here need to be reassigned.
“he just flooded the market with singles for the past month all of 50 singles high on the charts all above masterflop that album is so trash”
#10, #30 and #93 on ITunes, while Mastermind sits comfortably at #3.
Mastermind ain’t at #3.
# 3 ? bhahahaa funny and where is ross singles? M.I.A.
About time we have a good summer jam the god is back
Freak guy worship ppl who sit in studios and record songs about killing and robbery

Wanna be dope and get more girls?

Car: Lil Wayne
Home: Drake, Justin Bieber
Party: Wiz Khalifa, Tyga

Good fuck! 😉 *blinks*
Why do black men in Germany still wear the 50 Cent G Unit Reebok tank tops in the club? Smdh.
why you always got a black cockk in your mouth
That was random.. you gay bob!
why are you checking out black germans in clubs? sounds like you were at a gay nightclub.
Talking about them black American soldiers lol
That comment made me say UMMMMM?
Let the hatred begin or rather continue. Country music fans don’t care where their stars were born. Hip Hop fans judge their star by a coast. Such childish and primitive behavior.
50 is the hottest artist at the moment
HOW BITCH HOW!?!?!!???!
easy
50 isnt touching drake popularity right now drake is the undeniable face of rap
THE KING OF NEW YORK PAPOOSE DOESN’T NEED INVITATION IS GONNA PERFOME WHEN HE WANTS TOO HIJACKED THE STAGE FROM WIZ KHALIFA
Look like it will be a decent show. Be sure to checkout thegrandreport, they have some good hip hop and viral videos on there
I don’t know why u think this fool is hot right now.. 50 cent sucks fell off really bad. I mean really he sucks them dr dre days are over…
if he sucked so much they wouldnt have begged him to perform
“# 3 ? bhahahaa funny and where is ross singles? M.I.A.”
They are promo singles only. Where’s 50 official singles at? Now, unless you think you can rap better than ross, stay the fuck out.
animal ambition isnt even a real album, hes selling a mixtape
what is a real album?
promo singles? haha dick head they on I-tunes killin the charts go to the hiphop section ross under 50 50 is the best ggg-unit
No they not. They are barely making the top 50 of hiphop itunes.
I was talking about 50’s singles.
Anybody can rap better than Ross.
50 got begged… haha man yu reachin. LIKE I SAID HE NEEDS DRE.. WHACK ASS RAP SKILLS…
he’s gonna bring out dre, eminem, tony yayo, young buck, lloyd banks, fat joe, The Lox, and maybe even killa cam.
and dre makes people better at rapping a guy who don’t write? no 50 don’t need dre
I thought Mastermind was rap album of the year? So why ain’t he headlining Summer Jam?
why the fuck would ross and mmg be there? they had a poor year and mastermind was aight but came and went. war ready and devil is a lie were bricks. same as most of ross singles. meek did nothing. if they was hot they would be there. hype is hype. gimme 50 gunit over ice cold ross and mmg. mmg aint winning. what hits ross and meek got this year. take jay drake wayne young money puff j cole away from ross and mmg songs and you got zero interest in the music. SMOKE AND MIRRORS.
ross and mmg run is over.
Steve Stoute is feeling some type of way.
What has 50 done besides yell at steve stoute… and put out that shitty pilot song,, that shit is whack man c’mon man he needs dre compare fifty to rozay right now fifty is getting smashed.. pilot… that song is trash
hes put out 5 songs and 5 videos fool.
Funeral
Hold On
Dont Worry About It ft. Yo Gotti
Pilot
Smoke ft. Trey Songz
So why isnt Rozay on the bill? You think he woulda turned down Summer Jam? Truth is they didnt ask him.
it;s funny how these clowns want 50 to leave, complain all he does is talk about old stuff
and yet y’all fill up every single 50 Cent article with stuff that happened years ago
Yo them niggas that wanted beef before
Don’t want no beef no mo
Now that they know who I rep with
QB NIGGA!!!
Who I rep with
QB NIGGA!!!
I hope nas and 50 perform some of their classics.
no drake no concert drake is the face of rap now it shud be drake headlining with ymcmb the untouchable empire. Fuck all them other niggas they are either washed up or irrelevent. Every normal person that isnt a rap nerd only listens to rap because of drake. Drake is the face of rap and he runs that shit all the other rappers are irrelevent minus drakes crew.
“Every normal person that isnt a rap nerd only listens to rap because of drake.”
Are you saying Drake fans don’t know anything about hip-hop music?
drake is a singer who raps
“what is a real album?”
Take Care
“Anybody can rap better than Ross”
Then why don’t they?
‘and where is ross singles?’
Sanctified was #32.
Stop talking about officer ricky
