50 Cent’s signing to Shady/Aftermath has topped XXL Magazine’s 100 Biggest Moments In Hip-Hop. The hip-hop mag lists the G-Unit/Shady/Aftermath dream team as “the final piece of the puzzle” that turned 50 into the world’s leading rap star. Other influential moments in hip-hop include: Jay-Z’s show-stopping performance at the Hot 97 Summer Jam in 2001, when he was joined onstage at the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in New York by Michael Jackson. The December 1999 shooting incident at Club New York that landed Diddy protege Jamal ‘Shyne’ Barrow behind bars for a fifteen year bid; the break-up of Jay-Z and Damon Dash’s Roc-A-Fella label in 2004; and 2005’s end to the Nas/Jay-Z beef.
