Rap-Up.com || Lauryn Hill and Nas Surprise at Summer Jam

Hip-hop royalty graced the stage at Hot 97 Summer Jam. Following sets from Big Sean, Young Jeezy, J. Cole, and Waka Flocka Flame, Nas made a surprise appearance at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey.

“We back up on this motherfu**in’ stage like we never left,” said the Queens MC, who pleased the hometown crowd with hits from his expansive catalog including his latest “The Don.”

But he wasn’t the only surprise of the night. Lauryn Hill emerged to the tune of “Ready or Not,” taking hip-hop heads back with “Lost Ones” and uniting with Nas on “If I Ruled the World.” The former Fugee was seen driving around backstage on a golf cart with her kids.

Nas and Lauryn were rumored to be Nicki Minaj’s surprise guests before she pulled out of Sunday’s show. Watch the living legends perform below.

@OpD2, not true.. Nicki invited Nas to perform with her. Nas was going to perform anyway and his guest was Lauryn. I’m sure she would have asked Lauryn but she did not bring her

@M., she wouldn’t look out of place,if nicki wasn’t hip-hop as you all claimed her to be why would 2 living legends[to me lauren is in a class by her self when it comes to that legendary status]of the hip-hop core would agree to go on stage with nicki minaj think about that.

This post doesnt have anything to do w/ Nicki Minaj! So what if she was “Supposed” to bring them out, her pimp lil wayne told her not to perform so yall point is irrelevant.
Nas (the King) & Lauyrn (the Queen) killed it and thats all that needs to be said!
