Screamfest 2007 NY

Jay-Z, Kanye West, 50 Cent, Diddy and T.I. Form a Chorus Line at Screamfest 2007

Conjure up an image of a Screamfest concert and it’s hard not to imagine Bow Wow’s fans from the front row to the cheap seats. It could be free backstage tickets and I’d find something else to do. There is this thing called a hunch - remind me to listen to it more often. Last night I had a feeling I should check out this little show, just for the hell of it. It didn’t happen, burgers and fries happened. So what occurs? A f*ckin hip-hop chorus line.. excuse me, a historic, once in a lifetime gathering of hip-hop’s fucking finest.. chorus line popped off in the Garden.

The folks over at MTV have the best play by play on this.


There were close to 20,000 people at Madison Square Garden on Wednesday night, and it’s pretty much a given that none of them believe what they saw. Just imagine how much they’ve been calling, texting and MySpacing since the show. Heck, you might not even believe this when you read it, but as wrestling legend Kurt Angle would say, “It’s true. It’s damn true.”

T.I. orchestrated a mammoth hip-hop moment, a piece of history in the form of an onstage party featuring the cream of the crop in hip-hop: T.I., Jay-Z, Diddy, Swizz Beatz, Ciara, Kanye West and 50 Cent. They were all onstage performing and partying together ... as in, everybody was onstage at the same time.

Pardon while I wipe a tear.

T.I. throwing crazy eyez

Yung Joc ?!? .. practicing a dental procedure?

Of course the chorus line. T.I. was somewhere on that stage

There he is

This was one of the greatest moments I can think of in hip-hop/rap history! What makes the moment even sweeter is that the event wasn’t some overpriced gala where the artist were attending for publicity. It was truly a moment for the music. This image will no doubt be etched into my mind for eternity. I’d just like to say “Thank You” to the big dogs for sacrificing ego and participating in this event!

Oh Lord our Father, why couldn’t you have flown me to NY for this….  I’ll pray harder next time.  So proud of them all showing hip hop unity.  Much love in spirit.
