Madison Square Garden is not called “World’s Most Famous Arena” for nothing. For a concert bill that was completely derived of ATL artists, (except T-Pain), it only seemed fitting that at least 1 NYC native appear on stage. As the night went on, everyone was waiting for a MAJOR SUPRISE GUEST to appear. Ciara had brought out 50 Cent to perform “Cant Leave Em Alone” during other stops on the tour, so you know that everyone was waiting for him to come out. Then the next thing you know, 50 ascended from the Garden floor amidst a cloud of smoke and mist and sent da Garden into a frenzy like no other. 50 Cent has the “hottest” record out rah now in “I Get Money”. No one thought what happened next would happen and that was having the ENTIRE G-Unit camp (minus MASE) come out and perform the song. Seeing G-UNIT come out to support and rock wit their general, was the first inclination of HISTORY being made.

T.I. is the self proclaimed “King of the South”. Myself not being a T.I. fan from the beginning of his career, I have come to respect his work and career acomplishments, and now im a FAN!!! However, I give him the utmost respect for doing what only seemed right, and that was letting Jay-Z “play in his playground”. Seeing HOV walk from the back of the stage to the front while spitting his verse to “Watch What You Say”, was in itself, historical. Seeing “2 Kings” side by side belongs in the history pages. Knowing where he was, Jay in his normal fashion, let the crowd acknowledge who he was and allowed them to pay respect. Oh, lets not forget the thousands of “Roc” signs that were up as well. After that, History had already started to be written once 50 come out. Who cares if 50 said shit about Jay and vice versa, the fact that they were on stage together side by side, acknowledging one another was, well you know the word already, HISTORIC!!!

Knowing that Kanye West was going to appear (thanks to T-Pain spilling it on the Angie show), I was waiting for the “Laaa La La” to drop and once it did and seeing Kanye walk out, it was over!!! The “Louie Votton Don” pleased the crowd with “Cant Tell Me Nothing”. While he was doing that, here came Diddy running out with a cup in his hand (99.9 % sure it was liqz cuz he looked a lil twizted) and next thing you know, he and 50 are doing laps around the stage like lil kids. Who says that the limelight cant be shared?

It only seemed right for what happened next to happen and that was for Hov to perform “Encore”, sparking memories of his memorable concert from 2004. As the crowd rocked and sang EVERY lyric (myself included), here came Swizz Beats from the side of the stage to join the Historic cast on stage. Once “Encore” finished, next came “Money in da Bank.” Having just dropped his album the day before, Swizzy made sure that he would be a part of history by rocking along side 50 (who if nebody didn’t know, their lil beef/feud was quickly squashed). It couldnt have been any better!!!

So like I was saying, if you weren’t there, then dont talk. Dont talk shit saying that 50 and Diddy didnt belong on stage together…

Hip-Hop is not an East Coast, West Coast, Down South thing… Its a Universal thing. Seeing T.I., Jay-Z, Diddy, Kanye West and Swizz Beats on stage together is what we call HIP-HOP. Yes Kanye and 50 are dropping their “third” albums on the same day.. Yes Swizz Beats is a mega-producer turned rapper/artist…Yes Diddy is Diddy… Yes Hov, well what can we say about HOV that hasnt already been said… For one night, Hip-Hop was at its all time best, giving its fans what they wanted. Remember, when Hip-Hop first arose, NO ONE ever thought that it would grow to what it is today. History was written on August 22, 2007, a night that will forever live in Hip-Hop History!!!

NY stand up

Lmao @ 50 & Puff for not wanting to be left out of a great moment, so they just forced themselves in there. haahahahahahaaaa

It was surreal to see 50 right next to Kanye singing the words to the song. Great moment.
