After spending most of last week sneering at “Hot 97 Summer Jam 2013”, please allow me to eat humble pie and plenty of it. Not only did Mariah Carey come out to perform “#Beautiful” but more amazingly given last years debacle where she refused to play, Nicki Minaj performed two songs with 2 Chainz. And finally, Rick Ross and Lil Wayne came out to perform “Pop It” with French Montana.
Now that is a top off of a highly great line up and makes a mockery of both last years line up and this years fears. I wonder how the deal was finally cut.
