  13. Bryan The Don says:

  15. AMAZINACE says:

  16. LMAO@ Leslie pouting because they ain’t let him in the pic. He thought he was dressed up,, his t-shirt was clean and he just used a footbath earlier in the day lol

  17. Black Shady says:

    LOL c’mon Free….AT LEAST a button up shirt. shit…….lol

  18. michelle michelle says:

    So many power moves, can’t keep track…I’ll just say, Hov wins again.

  19. YOU CAN'T KILL ME says:

    FREEWAY CAN’T THINK HE’S GONNA GET ANYWHERE IN LIFE DRESSING LIKE A HOODLUM.

    WHERE ARE THEY NOW?

  20. YOU CAN'T KILL ME says:

    sidenote: freeway.. *face palm*

  23. Me says:

    Michael Nutter is no friend of young black men, Jay-z is a sellout, has been a sell out, get off his dick, end of story.

  24. steviebeats says:

    this picture is priceless…currently dead

  25. static says:

    jayz is a sell out corporate as greedy dude look at him seriously without beanie and freeway he would never got this far.

  26. juice says:

    Freeway knew what he was doing. he aint tripping he graced the stage with politicians and shit. im pretty sure if it was as bad as yall make it seem, he wouldnt have been on stage to begin with. plus you probably wasnt there that couldve been shot within a 30 second period where some nut ass snapped that pic.

  27. static says:

    stop standing up for jayz we all know he a bully and corporate thuggn. he dont pay workers and that was proven. he a arrogant asshole

  28. FuckDAT. says:

    Might as well just call it The Masonic Music festival.

  29. TRUTH says:

    Lmao This pictue explains EVERYTHING you need to know about Jay-Z

  30. hxxvaz says:

    By the look on freeways face, Jay probably told him “nigga you can’t take pictures with the bosses til you get a platinum album. go stand on the side of us real quick so we can take this flick”

  31. King Chandler says:

    @hxxvaz…….Visualizing that comment had me rollin….lol……real shit

  32. oj Da Cornball says:

    YN just came.

  33. Santa says:

    ignorance….

    You’re mad that Nutter actually has the balls to tell his own race when they’re out of line.

  35. CP says:

    @ everyone dissin Freeway

    First off he was invited there by Jay-Z and was supposed to come on stage…Listen to Hov and watch it unfold…The white dude to the right pulled Free into the pic to begin with…People talking about lil mama, etc need to shut up.

  36. why freeway not in the pic his he on punishment or something

  37. CP says:

    It makes sense that he was not in the pic, this was a “business” picture that featured the people responsible for bringing the concert to PHILLY.

  38. ACE says:

    @STATIC <——–just proves how ignorant niggaz can be, i think you meant to say without Jay, beanie and freeway would never got as far as they got…..

  39. Y u Mad? says:

    Free working security, or he got sent to the corner

  40. G-Cass says:

    Let the meme’s begin..

  41. Nickey Negrito says:

    It was rumored on Blackplanet.com that Beans will be apart of this festival. Hope so.

  42. ColoradoKnight says:

    Jay is in a league of his own. Say what you will, but he’s taken Hip Hop far beyond it’s boundaries. In fact, what boundaries at this point? Clap for’m.

  43. Foekist says:

    Honestly, I have to come back on this… I would have been plenty pissed if I were Jay-Z. I can’t believe how Free presented himself. I am so disappointed.

    -Knew Beans and Jay weren’t gonna bury the hatchet. Ain’t no money in that for Shawny.

  44. mac DIESEL's Assistant ( mac MEDIA, INC. ) says:
