With over 15,000 people in attendance Super Jam 2 was a success not only by HOT 104.1 but for St. Louis.
Hot 104.1 had been advertising SJ2 adamantly since the announcement of the lineup. The city was in full anticipation mode as Saturday June 13th approached. Pullin on the parking lot you could see the smiles on people's faces as they eagerly ran to the gates. In our mind they were trying to guess who was the surprise guest. As the music boomed through the speakers SJ2 began at exactly 4pm.
Joka who recently signed signed a deal with DTP started the show early which was followed by OJ the Juiceman and SouljaBoy. Starting a hip hop concert at 4pm sounds a bit juvenille but when you have over 15 artist on one stage it's the only way to do it.
After rocking the stage Soulja Boy he was kind enough to take a picture for us. He showed his appreciation by tweeting our picture to all his followers on Twitter speading the STL love and then jetted off to another show he had in KC. You could hear the crowd as they sang along to their favorite songs. On Pleasure P's "I did you wrong" STL took over the song showing why it stayed at the top of the countdown on Hot104.1. 
We absolutely adore the spirit of UnLadyLike as they mingled with the crowd to show that even though they are on the rise they know where it all started. Local artist Aloha who we here has some new music coming and Shorty (pictured above) were there spreading their STL love as well. When Shorty stepped on stage as one of the Surprise Guest he let the crowd know he was now part of the HOTSQUAD! Not sure when we can expect to hear to him but I'm looking forward to hearing him back on the airwaves. 
Ludy was part of the STL Mixtape and it was obivious that his relatioship with Grind Up Records has ended because him and his entire crew were sporting "Pac-Stein Records" shirt and his former manager Champ was no where to be found. Trey Songz took his time during his set and even showed the ladies what he was working with when he took off his shirt. I do wish we could have seen the entire Oceans 7 on stage in St. Louis but hey we still have next year.
Yo Gotti and Pleasure P (pictured above) stopped through for pictures and quick interviews. As the heat beat down on the crowd the amphitheatre rocked as if the sun was absent. Gotti loves St. Louis so it was only fitting that the Memphis native drove in to surprise some of his biggest fans. Plies ripped through his set giving away money and putting on one of the best shows with his nasty lyrics and full speed vulgarity.
But nothing could prepare STL for The St. Lunatics in its entirety. That's right people Ali, City Spud, Murph, Kyjuan and Nelly were the biggest surprise guests of the evening after coming out following a custom video intro and although he didn't come on stage with his mask we did see Slo Down off to the side and backstage in his Murph Or Die gear. We tried to take pictures but had 2 stop and dance to some of our favortie hometown jams. The love that was shown to the Tics was incredible. It just goes to show you can travel the world but nobody will do you like your hometown.
Jeezy was last to hit the stage as the headliner and of course he done his thing. We would be remiss if we didn't acknowledge Boogie D and the entire Hot staff who worked hard 2 give STL the love back that is given to them daily by keeping their dial on the hottest station blazing the airwaves.
