Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2010 was held last night (6/6) at the new Meadowlands stadium, boasting a powerhouse lineup including Usher, Drake, Nicki Minaj, Trey Songz, Juelz Santana, Gucci Mane and DJ Khalid as part of the official billing. But of course, as is traditional on Summer Jam stages, there were a few surprises.
Instead of providing you with simply a recap of the night, we’re recapping the recaps. Here are a few places where you can get a rundown/pictures/video of what went down at Summer Jam 2010. If you have some others, let us know in the comment section!
Hot 97
Hot 97 obviously has the inside track to all things Summer Jam. So far, they have photo albums of each of the performers, as well as some official videos, and they will be updating their page throughout the day we’re sure.
Miss Info
No one recaps an event and gives you all the ins and outs like Miss Info, and Summer Jam is no exception, especially since she is down with Hot 97. Miss Info’s recap has flicks, tells us about surprise guests and performances (Lloyd Banks, Cassie), who wasn’t able to get in (Jim Jones) and more.
HipHopStan
A post on HipHopStan has a post of 50+ photos from the event, some jacked from different sources (many from AllEyesOnWho.com), but nicely compiled for easy viewing. Included are pictures of all performers, the crowds. some behind the scenes shots as well and some tweets from the show. It’s a pretty comprehensive little rundown.
YouTube
A few dedicated souls took video from the event and have already posted up on YouTube. We did a search for “Hot 97 Summer Jam 2010” and found a few up so far (VybeNation has a bunch, though show footage is from the nosebleeds, festival vids were a bit better). Anyway, we’re sure that as they day goes on, that same search will yield a better selection.
