[Newark88 Classic] Jay-Z performing Takeover for the first time at Hot 97 Summer Jam

[Newark88]

Classic moment in Hip Hop history!! I was there in attendance that night. And when Hov went in on Prodigy and put that infamous (no pun intended) picture of him dressed as Michael Jackson on the Summer Jam screen, everybody went crazy!!! Here's audio of the performance from the a Kay Slay tape (Slay was the only one who had the audio of the performance at the time) Forbez DVD - Playing: [Audio] Jay-Z Performs 'Takeover' At Summer Jam (Crowd Goes Nuts)

Bonus: Ralph McDaniels (Host of the legendary "Video Music Box") interviews the Roc after the performance

LOL at Jay channeling his 'State Property' performance, just nodding and pointing, Sigel acting weird and high, per the norm. Funny video, how aloof and reserved Jay has always been.

They weren't taping their concerts like that back then. Back then, the only footage you could get of Summer Jam is if Video Music Box was backstage taping it.
