Video: Lauryn Hill & Nas Team Up at Summer Jam And Kill It

June 4th, 2012 - By Victoria Uwumarogie

You probably heard about Nicki Minaj backing out of her Hot 97 Summer Jam performance because of the comments station host, DJ Peter Rosenberg, made about her track “Starships” (that it’s not real hip hop and is wack…I was going to say something to add to that but I’m going to leave my comments to myself this time). And while she and YMCMB stood their ground and refused to take the stage, Nas stepped up to perform (he was set to be Nicki’s guest), and while filling in, he brought out LBoogie. In the video below, she performs “Ready or Not” from her time with the Fugees and “Lost Ones” off of The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill. My jams! And though her voice is a tad bit deeper after all these years, she still brings the energy. And may I say that her TWA is adorable! Check out the video below and let us know your thoughts. She comes out around the 1:20 mark.

So they got Lauryn Hill and Nas instead of Nicki Minaj. They should be happy because they officially got their money’s worth. And Lauryn need to come back…her voice got deeper but she still sounds good.

well gosh darn, why do entertainers from before sound so much more fluid and gifted in their deliveries compared to these ‘artists’ now? I was spoiled back then . . .

Starships is a wack song, I couldn’t agree with the DJ even more on this one. I’m glad that REAL rappers Nas and Lauryn Hill stepped in, I rather pay to see them than Nicki, so over that chick.

I’d rather see Lauryn Hill than Nicki Minaj any day. You couldn’t pay me to go to a Nicki Minaj concert.
