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 HOT 97 SJ History- Michael Jackson and Jay-Z - YouTube

Why did Jay Z have the screw face on the entire time? :laugh:

why did this not happen? woulda been the goat hip hop moment, period. imagine bein fukkin real drunk and nas drops jay and then 'du-duh fukk JAY-Z', place woulda been goin crazy

hot 97 wouldn't let him, hence his famous power 105 rant. pretty sure that was where he told nore he loved him but he needed to step up his game, told cam to make better music, etc.

all you kids too young to remember the last epic moments in hip hop lore :jawalrus:suck it
