The twentieth edition of Hot 97’s flagship concert series is underway at the Met Life Stadium in Rutherford, NJ. The event caps off a typically-hyped-up lead in, including a recent make-up session between Nicki Minaj and Hot 97 morning show jock Peter Rosenberg, as the clock ticked toward the one year anniversary of their heated, passively aggressive beef which led to Minaj pulling out of her performance.
Notably this year, the “Festival Village stage,” a smaller, day-long sideshow of sorts, typically featuring buzzworthy up and comers, was filled with New York artists. This, after Hot 97, arguably the most iconic of the nation’s hip hop stations, caught flack from music and media personalities for not showing enough love to local artists.
Of course, artists scheduled to hit the “main stage” are culled straight from the nation’s top radio artists, though there is no clearly defined superstar slated to appear.
That could change, of course, if Ms. Minaj and Hot 97 have a homecoming planned for one of music’s still-reigning queens.
