Another year has gone and another Summer Jam to put in history books for Hip Hop. We thought we have seen the last of Hip Hop artist go at each other, but we held our breath too soon. Remy Ma notoriously fired shots on the Hot 97 Summer Jam stage and brought every Woman MC without the last name Minaj to do it too. Hot 97 has been the platform for artists lashing out against others and calling them out in a memorable performance. From Eminem to Remy Ma, we create a timeline for notable Hip Hop beef and performances at Summer Jam. 2001: Jay Z Debuts “Takeover” and Fires Shots at Prodigy and Nas Jay-Z lit up the stage and what will go down as the most vicious Hip Hop beef between Nas and Jay. This was the date he had infamously released the track “Takeover” and did just that to the stage. The diss track was aimed at Mobb Deep’s Prodigy, but somehow Nas caught fire. Hitting us with the line, “Ask Nas, he doesn’t want it with Hov.” Making this one of the greatest beef between Hip Hop’s greatest. 2003: 50 Cent disses Ja Rule and Murder Inc. 50 Cent used his stage set to call out the Murder Inc rapper by displaying visuals of his “I Cry,” “Rainy Dayz,” and “Mesmerize”.

The “Selfish” singer took the Summer Jam festival stage and started off by wishing rapper Kodak Black a happy birthday and asked the crowd to sing for him. Also, he brought along twitter famous & young rapper, Matt Ox to the stage. He then followed with his new song, “Every day We Lit” to bring life to the crowd. Of course, the ladies love the singer and they especially enjoyed the “Unforgettable Remix.” Then he closed out his debut song and radio hit “Selfish”. Making sure his fans (mostly ladies) were satisfied.
