New Yorkers (who happen to be TIDAL users) were treated to a historic performance last night (May 16). Not only did Hov perform rarities from his back catalog, the TIDAL boss also brought out many surprise guests, including the reunion of the early '00s Roc-A-Fella lineup. 

After dropping a freestyle dissing all his TIDAL competitors, Hov brought out Beanie Sigel, squashing all rumors of any lingering beef. The Roc-A-Fella reunion extended to other members of the Philly supergroup State Property, including Freeway and Young Gunz. Memphis Bleek, who recently spoke in favor of TIDAL, also appeared on stage. 

Then came an extremely rare appearance from Jay Electronica, who performed "Exhibit C" and his "We Made It Freestyle," and, last but not least was Jeezy, who performed "Go Crazy" and "Who Dat."

See photos and footage from the concert below. 

Can anyone in attendance attest to how great of a night this was?
