Top Dawg Entertainment recording artist Kendrick Lamar did his thing at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, June 7, during Hot 97's Summer Jam 2015.
Fabolous managed to pull off maybe the most star studded performance in Summer Jam history on Sunday, June 7.
Artists joining him onstage were Ma$e, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Redman, Method Man, Mobb Deep, Chris Brown, French Montana, Lil Kim, The Lox, Black Rob and Busta Rhymes.
The Cleveland Cavaliers are playing without their 2 best players not named LeBron James. Both Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love are out for the rest of the playoffs with injuries. Yet their team is tied at 1-1 with the Golden State Warriors in the best of 7 NBA Championship against the Warriors.
On paper this doesn't even look like a fair series. The Warriors have a better starting 5 and a deeper bench. So why are the Cavaliers giving them fits?
The answer is James. He's put his team on his back, carrying them to what could be his third title.
Michael Jordan retired with 6 rings. He's widely considered to be the best NBA player in history. It's hard to argue that MJ isn't the greatest of all time, but his teams were much better than the one James is playing on now.
“If LeBron is at his best, it makes it difficult to guard other people,” TNT analystKenny Smithsaid after the Cavaliers game 2 win over the Warriors on Sunday. “That is the greatest thing about him…. I have not seen any other MVP do more with less.”
The question is simple. If the Cavaliers beat the Warriors, will James surpass Jordan as the greatest of all time?

What should have been a normal concert turned into a mess outside of MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey on Sunday, June 7, where Hot 97's Summer Jam 2015 concert was being held.
Apparentlythere were people without tickets who tried to force their way inside the sold out stadium.
What resulted was rioting as fights broke out, bottles were thrown at police and a cop car was vandalized. Cops responded with pepper spray. One officer reportedly was injured.
New Jersey State Police released a statement Sunday night via WABC saying,
"This evening, security personnel at one of the entrance gates to MetLife Stadium were confronted by crowds attempting to illegally enter the sold out Summer Jam concert by climbing over fences and forcing their way through security personnel. The gates have been shut and troopers on site have called for assistance from several nearby stations to help maintain order.Troopers and stadium security officials are insisting that all people outside of the gates depart the MetLife grounds to avoid congestion when the concert lets out. There is no number of arrests available at this time."
Some fans who legitimately bought tickets never made it inside the event bcause of the chaos. Hot 97 said they would get full refunds.

Kid Cudihas a long memory and it appears he doesn't let things slide.
The Cleveland rapper lashed out at Angie Martinez and DJ Enuff for a 2009 Hot 97 interview where the topic of him wearing skinny jeans came up. Cudi didn't like the line of questioning and finally spoke out publicly about it on Saturday, June 6, via his Twitter account.
"Look at these two fucks tryna play me back in the day. This was 2009. Angie Martinez and DJ Enuff. Fuckin clueless," Cudi wrote.
Angie and Cudder then had a brief exchange of words.

DANNEMORA, N.Y. (Associated Press) — Two convicted murderers used power tools to cut through steel pipes at a maximum-security prison near the Canadian border and escape through a manhole, Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Saturday.
"It was an elaborate plot," Cuomo said after joining law enforcement authorities to retrace the prisoners' escape route from the Clinton Correctional Facility in the town of Dannemora in the Adirondacks.
He said Richard Matt, 48, and David Sweat, 34, are "two dangerous individuals."
Sweat is serving a sentence of life without parole after he was convicted of first-degree murder for killing a Broome County sheriff's deputy in 2002. Matt is serving a sentence of 25 years to life for the kidnapping and beating death of a man in 1997.
The two men's adjoining cells were empty during a morning check, said Anthony Annuci, the acting state corrections commissioner.
"A search revealed that there was a hole cut out of the back of the cell through which these inmates escaped," Annucci said. "They went onto a catwalk which is about six stories high. We estimate they climbed down and had power tools and were able to get out to this facility through tunnels, cutting away at several spots."
Authorities said there are many questions including how the men acquired the tools. Annucci said prison authorities are checking to see if any power tools are missing from contractors at the prison.
Escaped prisoners left "Have A Nice Day" note behind
Maj. Charles E. Guess of the state police said more than 200 officers from multiple agencies were searching for the inmates. The search included bloodhounds and aerial surveillance, he said.
Cuomo said the prison break was the first escape from the maximum-security portion of the prison since it was built in 1865.
The prison is about 20 miles from the Canadian border. Roadblocks were set up in the area, WIRY-AM reported.
Sweat is white, 5 feet 11 inches, with brown hair and green eyes and weighs 165 pounds, police said. He has tattoos on his left bicep and his right fingers.
David Sweat
Matt is white, 6 feet tall, with black hair and hazel eyes, according to police. He weighs 210 pounds and has tattoos including "Mexico Forever" on his back, a heart on his chest and left shoulder and a Marine Corps insignia on his right shoulder.
Richard Matt
Sweat and another man fired 15 rounds into Deputy Kevin Tarsia on the Fourth of July in 2002 shortly after using a pickup truck to break into a Pennsylvania woman's house, stealing rifles and handguns, authorities have said.
And nearly a decade after the 1997 kidnapping, murder and dismemberment of his former boss, William Rickerson, in upstate New York, Matt was returned to the U.S. from Mexico where he had fled to and been arrested for fatally stabbing another American outside a bar in a robbery attempt. He was convicted in 2008 of Rickerson's death.
