There are epic hip-hop nights and then there’s Jay-Z B-Side nights. The legendary rapper re-opened Webster Hall on Friday night for the second of his B-Side concert series, the first one taking place four years ago.
This time, there wouldn’t be the same guests such as State Property, Beanie Sigel and Memphis Bleek. Instead, Nas showed up for “Success” from American Gangster, did a back and forth where Jay played hype man for “The World Is Yours” as Hov did “Dead Presidents.”
Then, the unthinkable happened – Cam’Ron hit the stage for “Welcome To New York City.” To make it even crazier? Jim Jones pulled up too as the two Harlem brothers did a Diplomats classic in “I Really Mean It.”
“We should’ve been doing shit like this a long time ago. [They’re] not my enemies, they’re my brothers,” Hov said of Cam and Jim.
There were freestyle tributes to Nipsey Hussle, the 92 bricks story FINALLY being explained and more. If you were a diehard Jay-Z fan, this show was for you.
