Wu-Tang Clan, Nas and Busta Rhymes sold out The Hollywood Bowl on October 4 as part of the N.Y. State of Mind Tour. GZA marked the occasion by sharing a photo of the marquee to his Instagram account with his excitement palpable in the caption. "Showtime in 20 minutes!" he wrote.
The packed crowd likely didn't anticipate a surprise appearance from LL COOL J, who joined his fellow Hip Hop legends on the stage at one point during the show as did Mary J. Blige and Jadakiss.
LL COOL J arrived just as Method Man and Redman were getting ready to perform their collaborative single “4,3,2,1.” As for Blige, she and Method Man did a live rendition of their 1995 Grammy Award-winning single “All I Need."
The N.Y. State of Mind Tour kicked off in St. Louis, Missouri on August 30 and wraps up in San Diego, California on Thursday (October 6).
