Nas and 50 Cent merged sets at Summer Jam 2014 and it was classic. It has been much growth since the Queens natives had beef, and there was even more reuniting when G-Unit and some of Hip Hop’s best of today hit the stage. Nas blessed the audience with a quick run through of songs from his 20th year album Illmatic, opening his segment with “N.Y. State of Mind.” He also touched his most recent album, Life is Good. Nas brought out Philly’s own, Meek Mill, and French Montana who collaborated to perform “They Don’t Love You No More”. Nas introduced 50 Cent to the Summer Jam stage for the first time in a decade. The crowd bounced with the whole G - Unit, Fabolous and others to early 2000 hits till today. The best of Hip Hop & R&B was lined up at Summer Jam this year. From the festival stage with Jhene Aiko, Mack Wilds, August Alsina, Nipsey Hustle to Iggy Azelea, performances were on high. Main stage performances Troy Ave, Kid Ink, Wiz Khalifa, and Trey Songz had the stadium lit. Most artist showed love to Chris Brown who was featured on several songs.
