Here are some of the best and most talked about moments from Hot 97′s Summer Jam 2014.

Action Bronson had arguably the most raw, hip-hop set of the show. Going straight into the crowd to perform.

You may have heard about 50 Cent showing the crowd “how to rob”, as he beats up and steals up-and-coming rapper Slowbucks’ chain, then rocks it for the rest of the show. Its likely this footage will be used in an upcoming criminal investigation.

Nas performs tracks from Illmatic for about 10 minutes. He then invited Meek Mill and French Montana on stage, who commandeered the set.

Here’s where Meek Mill fucked up. At the 18 minute mark, Nas’ “Hate Me Now” music starts back up. And as Nas is returning to the stage, Meek starts going “Hold up, hold up, hold up”, in truly bad form. You’re his guest homie.

What this show needs is more dudes on stage checking their email while an artist performs. #AmateurHour

50 Cent reunites G-Unit – except for Game – just in time for tomorrow’s release of Animal Ambition. Buck looks a little surprised at the 6:30 mark when his track “Shorty Wanna Ride” is cut off after the hook. Fabolous also joins on stage for a performance of the G-Unit remix of “Cuffin’ Season”.

The Roots played Summer Jam smart, delivering classics directly to the New York audience, with guest spots from M.O.P. (“Ante Up”), Dres of Black Sheep (“The Choice Is Yours”), and The Lox (“Wild Out”, “All About The Benjamins”).

Here’s Nicki Minaj performing “Yasss Bitch” with Soulja Boy. There are three reasons to watch this.

Nicki Minaj trolls the crowd by telling them she “doesn’t fuck with Drake no more”, but then brings him out to the tune of “Worst Behavior”. Lil Wayne appears next, naturally.

Dres is back, and on Tommy Boy. This is the first single from his upcoming project, produced by DJ Bazooka Joe, which will also feature beats from DJ Premier and Showbiz.

DJ Premier’s “Bars in the Booth” is for SERIOUS SPITTERS ONLY! Session 1 featuring Papoose verified as much! For the uninitiated, “Bars in the Booth” is a new series Preemo has started which revolves around titan emcees of all genres coming thru and being put to the test over a DJ Premier track!

Simply, “Bars in the Booth” isn’t about age, popularity, or how many Twitter followers you have; its about an Emcee and a DJ moving the crowd—and that is the definition of Hip-Hop.

For Session 2, Premier linked up with up with Dres (of Black Sheep & Native Tongue fame):

“Thanks to Dres from Black Sheep for being the next up on “Bars in the Booth.” He killed it. We got more “Bars in the Booth” coming soon, so subscribe to the channel so you do not miss a thing. Press Play!!” – DJ Premier

Dres praises Dr. George Grant for his contribution to golf in this AHH clip.

HHS: Some people might say welcome back but you’ve been staying busy on the scene. From the EP late last year, to the remixes and videos you’ve done, your presence is everywhere. Now that the album, From The Black Pool Of Genius, is finally here, how are you feeling?

Dres: I’m really proud…a deep sense of achievement. I’ve worked very hard on this project and it represents a totally independent venture of creative minds. In addition to the hard work of myself and team…I was very fortunate to have a Great Mind in my corner…my manager Tamara Gardellis.

HHS: How do things compare between being on a major and an independent label? You come from an era where labels put out 3 or 4 singles with videos!

Dres: Well…it’s quite different to be honest…but liberating all the same. The major labels route is more like a very high interest loan…whereas, indie, you’re trying to be much more smart as opposed to throwing money at a problem or manipulating the media in your palms. I’m very glad to be on this side of the fence…it’s a time where the playing field is much more leveled and I’ve done enough homework to take advantage of the terrain.

HHS: You’re recording under “Black Sheep” now but you and Mista Lawnge parted ways around the time of 8WM/Novakane, correct?

Dres: Yes it is…during 8wm/Novakane, Lawnge decided to do his own thing and parted to record a solo album. I could do nothing but wish him well and move forward.

HHS: “Birds Of A Feather”, off the new album, is pretty incredible – not only because of having Q-Tip, Dave from De La & Mike G from The Jungle Brothers on there with you, but I think it’s a great example of brotherhood. How was it recording that particular record?

Dres: It was a long time coming pleasure. I’m an extreme advocate of us getting back together…if only a month or two out of the year…and touring…making music. We represent so much…at times, I think, more than we realize…it was an honor and a pleasure to mend that particular song together…wasn’t simple.

HHS: Was the plan from the beginning to release the From The Black Pool Of Genius EP first and follow it up with the album? It’s a really cool idea, giving people of taste of things to come.

Dres: Yes, it was…once again…to reiterate the strength of a good team and devoted management. We were able to put schematics together to follow on our road to a successful venture.

HHS: Next year will mark the 20th Anniversary of A Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing. Are there plans to celebrate that classic in 2011 with a re-release or shows where you would perform the album in its entirety?

Dres: I would like to see Lawnge and I do a tour to celebrate this monumental anniversary…to perform the album in its entirety would truly be a joy!!

HHS: From The Black Pool Of Genius is much needed and welcomed. Thank you for all the years of great music and many more to come. Thanks for taking the time Dres.

Dres: Thank you…word up…and thank you to the Hip Hop community. You are truly appreciated.
