The energy and atmosphere was so Hip-Hop in every way! The crowd roared as the legends of the game hit the stage. A top memorable moment of the event was the LOX reunion. Styles P, Jadakiss, and Sheek Louch all hit the stage and performed classic material. They all did solo verses as well. The crowd went crazy when Styles P did his verse off Rick Ross' " B.M.F." Overall it was a great night for Hip-Hop. If you were there you would have felt that love, that energy and most important, you would understand that Hip-Hop is not dead. -[MsDramatv.com]

Best Buy Theater is one of the best venues in NYC (and I know lots of people will hate on this), why aren't more shows booked there?

3:04 - Because AEG promotes shows there, and they don't get the good bookings. Bowery Presents (and sometimes Live Nation) have been getting the majority of club-sized acts in NYC for the last few years.
