Summer Jam 2015 hit MetLife stadium last night and from what we hear it was an epic concert with classic acts and incredible surprises. From Nicki Minaj’s surprise performance to Fabolous and friends (which included cameos by Black Rob, Busta Rhymes, Remy Ma, Method Man, Redman, Raekwon, Mobb Deep, Lil Kim, Sheek Louch and Mase to name a few), it was one of Black music’s biggest festivals.

Unfortunately, the show ended with tear gas when things turned rowdy outside the venue’s gate.

Here are some highlights:

Kendrick Lamar Performed ‘King Kunta’

Kendrick Lamar had the crowd on their feet as he performed his “King Kunta.” In typical Kendrick fashion, he had his fans wondering why he was so damn angry. Probably because he was sweating so much…maybe he should had taken off his jacket.

Future has one of the best mixtapes out right now and performed his radio hit “Commas.” No, Ciara wasn’t there.

Fetty Wap’s ‘Trap Queen’ Goes Extra Hard

And what would Summer Jam be without Fetty Wap, who has the summer anthem, “Trap Queen.”
