Atlanta’s Fox Theatre hosted one helluva party last night. Celebrating 20 years in the game, Jermaine Dupri threw a special anniversary concert for his famed So So Def label, and he had plenty of big names on the guest list. In addition to So So Def alumni like Jagged Edge, Da Brat, Xscape, Bow Wow and Kris Kross, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Mariah Carey, Usher and, perhaps the biggest surprise guest of the night, Jay-Z, were all among those who RSVP’d.
Highlights include Jigga and JD’s performance of their 1998 hit, “Money Ain’t a Thang,” Usher, Lil’ Jon and Luda rocking the house with “Yeah!” and Kris Kross reuniting for “Jump” — over two decades after its initial release. There’s no denying that So So Def still know how to put on a show.

I Saw Waka FLOCKAs future when I saw Scrappy perform…lol…tiny t-shirt and gut. He better save up that dough!! no bs this show wasn’t as Wack as I thought it was going to be. My girl took me for my bday. The venue was relaxed at the Fox Theater and it was just a string of hits played back to back. Bone Crusher must have hurt his ankle A-Town stomping. Pastor Troy Held it down!! The special guest just added to it. Lil John looks like he is STILL CASHING CHECKS from ’03 lol. Great Show..Now waiting for Puffy to get a hologram of Biggie, Carl THomas, Total, and G-Dep out of jail for Bad Boy concert
