concert yesterday (June 4) at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J.
A pre-festival

Fly" and "Poppin’ My Collar."
The group, minus
member Crunchy Black, also boasted their Oscar trophy.

brings New York together," Havoc of Mobb Deep told AllHipHop.com. "Compared
to all other summer [concerts], there is nothing like a New York Summer Jam."

affair also elicited surprise appearances from Janet Jackson and Mariah Carey,
who both showed up during Jermaine Dupri’s set.
Rhymes also brought out a host of guest artists, including Papoose, Rah
Digga, Missy Elliot, Q-Tip, Wu-Tang Clan, DJ K-Slay, Big Daddy Kane, and Kid
