Big Homie Hova And The New Kid Drake Surprise SummerJam

The Source was in the building last night for Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam concert out in Jersey. The line-up was pretty solid, but as always special guest and surprise performances are always expected. The end of ‘08 and so far ‘09 brought along with it a lot of new talent in the genre of Hip-Hop, as well as some veterans coming to dominate once again. All were represented at this year’s show coming out on the strength of artist already receiving love from the crowd. Along with Drake, some other surprises included, Lil’ Kim, Meth and Red, DJ Khaled and Maino.

Of course Big Hommie came through to dominate the Summer Jam scene. Jigga came out during Jeezy’s performance to do his remix of ‘I Put On’, and showed his dismay for the Auto-Tune trend with ‘D.O.A’ accompanied by T-Pain himself.

Mary proved to hold her own amongst Hip-Hop’s generals, especially when Meth came out and “Your All I Need” was done, proving to be one of the high lights of the show.

Mary Jane Legal?

One would think Mary Jane would be legal by now, especially when heroin had its freedom in the early 20th century when it was sold in Sears for $1.50. True story, it was sold in a little kit that came with a reusable stainless steel syringe, 2 needles and 2 vials. As brief as it was, heroin was still legal and marijuana is nowhere near as lethal as heroin. In fact, it is well documented that marijuana can be quite helpful and it seems Governor Schwarzenegger thinks that as well. The governor stated he thinks it’s time to start seriously debating the subject of legalizing, regulating and taxing the drug, a similar method that is used with alcohol. The legalization of marijuana would solve a lot of problems, such as boost the economy but in a time of a recession it would also mean some drug dealers and their businesses would be out of work.
