Expected Defsounds Headline the day after Summer Jam:
Little Kid Arrested; Threw Rock @ Lil' Wayne Tour Bus
Snippet from article: When asked why he threw the rock at the bus, the 11-year old exclaimed, "I HATE Lil' Wayne. He ayass!"
This kid should be given his Congressional Medal of Honor in advance!!

50, Jay and Nas should all perform since they are all on the cusp of a new album or to promote their current album...

Thats a show
Yeah, one good show. I mean I couldnt think of anyone better than Yung(insult to my last name) Berg, Dream and Ray J, to pay to see at a concert. Really, Ray J!!?? and Yung Berg??!! Naw, not me. Sorry, but Bubblegum 'rap' is just not cool. But really only girls that went to see Hannah Montana are going to pay to see Wayne and the whole wack rapper convention.
Good to see Styles and Sheek gettin that show money.
Hannah Montanas a G nigga.
That little shit got the industry in a chokehold.
*props to radamez for his comment about soulja boy being the male hannah montana! I spit out my beverage after that one! That shit should go in the defsounds comments hall of fame*
WHAT??? Wait....Public Enemy??? Now I would def pay to see that go down.
man... it might be a good show if Wayne stop bein a bitch... he been fallen off latley on the rap tip not the money tip... I mean yea yea he makin dough but what happen to real rap from Wayne... im just hopin he holdin out on it so we blown away by C3... i hope this aint just the new Wayne... cuz if it im done listenin to that bitch ass shit... go start a group wit Ray J and Berg or somethin u soft ass Wayne
Welcome to the dark side young skywalker.
Janye and wayne u know I aint going They should had G-unit, R.kelly ,Jayz
the only people i like on the line up are kanye, styles p, sheek louch and obviously the public enemy...the rest aint worth me goin up there 2 c
haters everywhere, place will sell out and 90% will be there cuz of wayne..kanye, sheek and styles are a good look as is public enemy
i wouldn't pay to see them, i don't fuck with concerts any way but the ones i went had some bad bitches. kanye doing his thing, i don't fuck with Whoppie Yung Berg, I fuck with the Dream you got to admit his album was the shit. Ray J "Brandy Brother" i pass, he think he the shit cause he fuck kim kardashian, I haven't been happy with Wayne since D2, T-pain is annoying " he make good hooks" but here to much of him. Rihnana i pass to, but i would stick it to her. Who the fuck is Gym Class Hero, i pass. Style P and Sheek i fuck with, Public Enemy i fuck with. all together hell no unless somebody give them to me free so i can jump on some hoes, cause they be half naked walking through the shows trust me i seen it.
I wanna put it on kim kardashian too.
That bitch is a purebred!
Summer Jam just ain't the same any more man. I remember the days of Jay, Nas, Mobb Deep, Busta, X even Dipset.....all giving out legendary performances. I'm not knocking Wayne or Kanye, but Summer Jam ain't shit no more.
Wayne headlined last year homie, not Busta. Read the article. I get what you saying about the special guest appearances but as far as the main headliners (Nas, Jay, X, Mobb Deep.....) those days are gone. That's why I said Summer Jam ain't shit no more.
I mean look at this years line up, except for maybe Kanye and the LOX the rest of the niggas are ass. Like Young Berg?? You can't be fucking serious.
lmao.
Niggas cant fuck with dagod at this shit. He be puttin niggas in check on the daily. Him and king be fuckin over niggas. HAHAHAHA. I love defsounds.
weezy qonna brinq it this year [i hope]
Bring what?
A bus full of narcotics to get him thru his performance?
The only thing this so called rapper eater is gonna bring is his secret lover daddy and a big bucket of syrup mixed in with some whoopi goldberg's face expressions
don't hope he would probably bring enough coke, and x pills, and syrup for everybody. Jay Rocks^^^^
sounds like a bangin ass Summer Jam..those things are always big tho..always causin shit and startin/endin fueds and rap beefs..
word up on the damn PE tho..theyre hot as hell and what the game needs right now
don't hope he would probably bring enough coke, and x pills, and syrup for everybody. Jay Rocks^^^^
This sounds like its its gonna be a sick concert, too bad im all the way up in T-Dot right now. But iv got a feeling its gonna be a hot summer.
Its funny man but Hot 97 used to be the mecca of hip-hop radio. All this out of state dick sucking kind of angers me. I aint even from new york and Im mad because it used to have such an original and groundbreaking sound.
No wonder New York is slipping off the forefront. The problem is right there at home.
Just like detroit radio. That shit is ass. They show NO LOVE to local talent. Its all about advertising and income. WHat the fuck kind of summer jam dosnt have the king of new york headlining?
That's da same shit I been sayin for about a year now.
Summer jam iz always a good show...n gethip iz right, it use 2 showcase ny artist n out of towners would consider themselves honored 2 b on tha bill...but nobody out hea iz makin any real noise.nas has evry 1s attention but he doesn't have any new material 2 really kill a summer jam show(b a nigger 2 iz hot but its mo like an intro or a teaser and wouldn't shut dwn da show) jay might show up n surprise da crowd wit a couple joints off ag or sumthin but that's just "hope" da dips r in shambles so they out...da gay unit aren't doin anything that hot so they out...da only ny dudes that I think might get added 2 the show would be fab n busta. They both are actually hot right now. I dnt really like cheezy f. Right now but I hope 2 god he dnt pull no dumb shit n he does his show correct cuz if he think uk niggaz start gettin loose...wait till he c how it go dwn in ny if he act up! Oh yeah I went on the hot 97 website n got linked 2 ticketmaster n it said no tickets were currently available...idk what that's all about
who said no new york niqqas must be stupid. the BIGGEST PERFORMANCE IS GONNA BE BY A NY GROUP [PE= PUBLIC ENEMY] WTF? why would there be a concert in new york with no artist from ny ? u probably dont even listen to hip hop do you ?MightyFolks
sounds kind of.........wack LOX kanye and wayne(maybe) the only ppl worth givin a dam about
Word is borne Summer Jam is always a highlight of my summer, Cat’s out here know how it goes down B,…Plus every year there’s always some beef squashed or some popin off... Best summer Jams of all time has to be:
+2000:when Jay spanked 50 (I’m about a dollar what the fuck is 50 cent…WOW the crow went crazy).
+2001:when Jay ripped prodigy "Back in 88, when I was pushing weight, you was balarina, I got you pictures a seen ya"…and showed his picture on the big screen In some ballerina outfight ha ha ha
+2003: nas made you look remix with Luda & Kiss,…Shit was crazy, he spit Either, then went to Made you look & kiss & Luda came out shit was CRAZY.
This year looks water down, I’m only bangin out to the LOX, maybe Kanye but after that, shiiit it’s game time nigga, so many fine honeys & quick jump offs are in sight,…Ooowie
they listed young berg under R&B, damn he's wack!!!!
sounds like it's gonna be a tight show!!
Different comment, SAME BITCHMADE HATERS.
yo PE should be the headliner fuck weezy, kanye's alright though. but PE held it down at rock the bells last summer, besides flavs dumb ass tryin to play the drums and goin on about his kids and shit. hope he dont make it to summer jam.
oh yeah an who is this spam rapper clown above me tryin to rhyme on defsounds.com about legal buds? your shits weaker than weezy kid and correct me if im mistaken but did you say you guys were gonna be together? you takin dick ridin to a whole new level bro.
thegreatmonster is an asshole HOT 97 SUMMER JAM= New York. it will never hit cleveland. shot outs to lebron james, best player in the NBA
The Raptors are guna fuck the magic up
Detroit vs Raptors Detroit vs Boston Boston
Cleavland vs Boston
vs
Spurs vs Lakers Lakers vs Hornets Lakers (Champs)
Hornets vs Houston
summer jam is basically going to be young teenagers, wayne groupies and older women trying to be 20 knowing they are 37...young berg and t-pain will not have my money in their pockets...keepin it 100
Dont forget 2005 summer jam, that shit was bananas when jay z came out with kanye and Game performed and started Gunot and the crowd was just stunned and he brought the rat on stage for the rest of his performance
Anyone know when the tour dates droppin?
Its not a tour sugar, its just one show.
def hittin that shit up
like who else would headline it though
jay rock- didnt read it right, sorry i offended u dont gotta get all mad cursin at me. guess i aint gon b there.
really tho compared to past summer jams this gone be wack they dnt got man nigga game they dnt got 50 they dnt got fabolous,bun b,luda,busta ahmeen dam i dnt give a dam bouta fuckin young berg!
young berg b trash
trash 2 of the worst!!!
I wonder if ticket sales will be down or not because in the Uk Jay-Z is or was going 2 peform at some UK place where there is mostly rock and Gym Class Heros are not bad and all but the Genre of the music might not appeal to some people.Also what charismatic said about a 11yer old boi throwing a rock at a tour bus has happened 2 Soulja Boi u can read 2 both of these things tht i Said or commeented w/e on Jay-Z and Soulja Boi at CelleBully and also about the Sean Bell thing I expect their 2 be riots everywhere in NYC like the Rodney King thing in L.A.
. The last thing i want 2 say tht no matter the color the race of a cop their are bad cops who are the same color as me u any1 else in this world or a law tht is stupid or worng like Uk has a law tht says>> London Hackney Carriages (taxis/cabs) must carry a bale of hay and a sack of oats.Just listen 2 Lupe Fiasco Handcuffs
Okay, Now I love weezy too but that nigga 'Weezy da Goat' is just a fuckin stalker.. he needs to get locked up and locked away from my nigga.. but I'm from Minnesota, and dont nothin ever really happen up here either
I WOULD NOT PAY TO SEE WAYNE CAUSE I CANT UNDERSTAND WHAT THE FUCK HE SAYS.
niggas in new york ain't gon send it up, ya'll scary ass hell joe, if some shit like that would've went down in the chi, we would sen that bitch up nigga, i agree wit buddy right above me, wayne be so high, it sound like he speakin in tongue's or somethin, he gon be wack as hell if go to rehab, cuz that shit gon catch up wit his ass, i'ma start callin lil wayne lil unck, like we call the clucks(crackheads) on tha block, we got them 3 for 10's lil unck
