Didn’t get a chance to attend Hot 97 Summer Jam 2014? Well, we’ve got you covered. Here is our recap.

Hot 97 Summer Jam is one of the most anticipated events of the year, and each year the radio station knows it’s only right to do it bigger and better than the last. The annual concert is held at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

Summer Jam 2014 was a night of re-uniting and reminiscing. But before the main event, talented artists on the rise blessed the festival stage.

The Festival stage allows up and coming artists a chance to claim their fame. With a set of contestants pouring their heart out for a prize a few familiar names then took the stage next.

Mack Wilds represented New York right with his hit “Own It”. Actor turned rapper Childish Gambino blessed the audience with an epic set.
Iggy Azalea showed the audience how the female rappers do it. Singer Jhene gave the audience an R&B appeal and ended with her hit “The Worst”. August Aulsina, Nippy Hussle, and Chinx Drugz had memorable sets as well.

The main stage performance kicked off with Sevyn Streeter. It was a pleasure seeing the songstress who had made strides in the industry working with several groups, now seeing solo success. Shortly after, Troy Ave and Action Bronson hit the stage.

Wiz Khalifa kept the fans going with an amazing set and brought out Snoop Dog for a cameo appearance. The show even added a sexy R&B appeal with a set by Trey Songz.

Following an all day festival in Philadelphia the day before, The Roots performed various hits and made audiences reminiscence on the 90s era by bringing out The Lox and Black Sheep.

Nas had an unforgettable set including cameos by Meek Millz and Frech Montana. The Queens rapper performed “New York State of Mind” and continued his Illmatic twentieth anniversary celebration with several other tracks from the debut. His was our favorite performance of the night.

Nas made it known that Queens was in the building, and introduced 50 Cent, who made it more known that Queens was in the building by reuniting the G-Unit gang (Lloyd Banks, Tony Yayo, Young Buck). Together the rappers performed  hits like “So Seductive” and “Shorty Wanna Ride.” 50 Cent also invited New York Fabulous on stage and performed alongside Yo Gotti as well.

Nicki Minaj Ms Info TV

Ending the night as a headliner was Nicki Minaj. Two years prior, the femcee opted out of performing at Summer Jam. This year she promised fans would leave excited and blessed. Not only did Minaj prove she can stand amongst the best male rappers in the game, she single-handedly proved she’s one of the best in the game period. Minaj came on stage looking natural, leaving the barbie act at home, and brought the real hip-hop.

She kicked off an hour long performance bringing her fellow YMCMB  artists like Drake, Lil Wayne, and newcomer Lil Herb.

The night was amazing, indelible, and probably one of the best Summer Jam’s we’ve been to in years.

New Wu-Tang Clan concert film returns to Wilmington before PBS release

Screening as part of Wu-Tang Wednesday series by 3 Chambers and DJ RizzyBeats

Wu-Tang Clan concert film
Still from the documentary A WU-TANG EXPERIENCE: LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE

On November 6th, 3 Chambers and DJ RizzyBeats will bring the highly anticipated concert film documentary A WU-TANG EXPERIENCE: LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE back to Wilmington, North Carolina for a free community screening at Waterline Brewing Company as part of their Wu-Tang Wednesday series. The North Carolina Black Film Festival had the Southern premiere of the film in Wilmington back in May.

Wu-Tang Clan concert film

Combining performances and revealing interviews with group members and associates, classical musicians, and concertgoers, the Wu-Tang Clan concert film documents the extraordinary concert at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheatre where the Wu-Tang Clan, backed by the 60-piece Colorado Symphony Orchestra, weaved together songs from their vast discography of group and solo albums. Their setlist created a live score to a real-time screening of the seminal martial arts film The 36th Chamber of Shaolin—the movie that largely inspired the Clan’s aesthetic and the title of their groundbreaking debut album Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers).

The documentary deconstructs stereotypes that limit classical music and Hip-Hop as mutually exclusive musical genres, dismantles these imposed limitations, and collapses boundaries and artistic mediums to amplify the ways classical music, Hip-Hop, and film can coalesce in a beautiful, innovative union.

The film is co-directed by Wu-Tang Clan’s The RZA and Gerald K. Barclay.

How to watch

Wu-Tang Wednesday will start at 5pm at Waterline Brewing Company with a Wu-Tang set by DJ RizzyBeats. A WU-TANG EXPERIENCE: LIVE AT RED ROCKS AMPHITHEATRE will screen at 7pm.

Rude Bwoys Food Truck will be on-site and Gravity Records will have vinyl records for sale.

Attendees will also be able to learn more about the upcoming 3 Chambers Fest, which happens on December 4th – 7th in Wilmington, North Carolina. Festival passes and tickets are currently on sale at www.3chambers.com.

This event is free and open to the public. This will be the only public screening in the South before the streaming premiere on PBS on November 11th.
