FUSE TV - The 5 Best Moments of Hot 97 Summer Jam 2012

Hot 97's Summer Jam, known as the Super Bowl of Rap because it's played in a football stadium and features the rap game's biggest theatrics, happened last night (June 3) at Metlife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ. The show's drama was on par with the best of 'em, with Lil Wayne pulling himself, headliner Nicki Minaj and DJ Khaled out of the show at the last minute because Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg insulted Minaj's single "Starships."

That was a low moment for Summer Jam, but given the amazing lineup, there were plenty of high moments as well, including some monster special guests and one electrifying performance from a rapper I never thought I'd like. Between bursts of rain and the DJs and performers asking, "Is Brooklyn in the house?! Is Queens in the house?! Is The BX in the house?! Staten?! Jersey?!" every 15 minutes, there were some pretty unbelievable things happening on that stage! Here are my top five:

5. The Stage Banter
Rappers and radio DJs are funny people; it's their job to entertain audiences when they're on the mic, and Hot 97 Summer Jam lets them do that to a crowd of about 60,000. It's the biggest stage in rap. But after a few hours of trying to rally the crowd, the DJs were scraping the bottom of the barrel: "Yo, if you not West Indian but you know a West Indian, put one finger in the air!"

Another DJ said, "Shoutout to all my ladies out there makin' money!" and he got a huge cheer out of the crowd, so he kept going: "Shoutout to all my ladies with a high school diploma!" and then, "Shoutout to all my ladies with a college diploma!"

Young Jeezy, though, had the best line of rapper stage banter: After he shouted out some places in New York and thanked some people, he yelled, "Now that we got that positive s**t outta the way, if your p***y clean lemme hear you scream!" The stadium went crazy.
