Lil Wayne, Common, and many more joined forces with Vice President Kamala Harris this weekend for a once-in-a-lifetime concert as Hip Hop 50 celebrations continued.
On Saturday (September 9) artists including Weezy, Common, Too Short, Jeezy, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Doug E. Fresh, Slick Rick, MC Lyte, Wale, and more stormed the front lawn at the residence of Vice President Kamala Harris in Washington, D.C for a host of iconic performances — in collaboration with the Recording Academy’s Black Music Coalition and Live Nation Urban — in honor of the movement’s impact over the last half-century — from music to fashion to film and beyond.
“And I will tell you as a daughter of Oakland, California, Hip Hop has been a part of my life since its very beginning,” said Harris to a large crowd consisting of artists, politicians, and journalists.
Meanwhile, Common who “celebrated Hip Hop all day long,” immortalized the celebration by taking to Instagram to share a video compilation of his time in the Chocolate City.
“What a glorious day in DC! I celebrated Hip Hop all day long. Early in the day I celebrated with vpotus @kamalaharris and later on in the day we celebrated with my brother @robertglasper #GoodTimes,” he captioned the clip.
Other memorable performances included Lil Wayne’s “6 Foot 7 Foot,” which got Harris and her VIP section up and grooving. Check out the video below.
Last month, a star-studded lineup gathered for a mega concert celebrating Hip Hop 50 in the genre’s birthplace inside Yankee Stadium in The Bronx.
The laundry list of special guests includes Lil Kim, Remy Ma, Trina, Fat Joe, T.I., Common, Slick Rick, Lupe Fiasco, Ghostface Killah, EPMD, and A$AP Ferg, Snoop Dogg, Lil Wayne, Ice Cube and Run-DMC who took the stage for what they revealed would be their very last time.
“I am honored to hit the stage in the Bronx, the birthplace of Hip Hop and celebrate all of my heroes,” Run said in a statement at the time.
Darryl “DMC” McDaniels added: “Aug 11 is Hip Hop’s 50th birthday! So…’Up in the Bronx’ where it all started we will be celebrating this historic moment in history!
“I am honored to pay tribute to the culture that allowed this little shy kid from Queens to grow up and become The Mighty King of Rock! Thank you Hip Hop!”
She literally arrested people for weed and took children from black parents for truancy. What a bunch of sellouts. And she’s also luckily very unlikable without trying cause her ugliness as a human comes out cause she’s evil.
This the woman who said she listened to Pac and snoop in college… she graduated in 1986. Snoop wasn’t known to the public til the 90s. Pacs first album was 1991, and Pacs first public appearance on a song was also in 1991, with Digital Underground. She’s such a liar. She lies every time she speaks. Hell, she talks aboit celebrating Kwanza… BS. In her books made before she was president, she only talked about celebrating Christmas.

People hating on Harris but what about Wayne? These politicians don’t do shit for anyone involved but Trump literally gave Wayne his freedom. Even if he doesn’t like trump now I would dance for Harris when bro let me out.
