Hot 97's Summer Jam concluded its 22nd year last night at MetLife Stadium. Complex was live in New Jersey, roaming the parking lots for tailgating parties, and catching all the acts on the Festival Stage and Stadium Stage. We’re only weeks away from the official start of summer on June 21, and there’s still no unanimous anthem to dominate the next three months. So, we decided to poll random rappers hoping to get discovered at the East Coast's biggest hip-hop show to get their opinions on the song of the summer. We attempted to get five rappers in total, but one (who was wearing an “I Got Bars” lanyard) turned us away when we refused to pay $10 for his tape. Oh well.
