The incident came after a successful A3C, which over the years has evolved from a combination of a networking hub and showcase for emerging audiences into a two-headed beast, one that also makes room for a music festival that attracts big names and legends.

Saturday night saw the Wu-Tang Clan reconverge to perform their classic debut album, Enter the 36 Chambers, all the way through, Billboard reported. Ol’ Dirty Bastard’s son, who goes by Young Dirty Bastard, filled in for his late father on “Shimmy Shimmy Ya.”

Lil Wayne’s latest album, Tha Carter V, just debuted at number one on the Billboard Charts, according to Billboard. It enjoyed the second-largest streaming week in history for an album.
