So on Saturday in London for the 50 years of hip hop gig Onyx never turned up & Masta Ace & Big Daddy Kane performed when Hijack should of been performing so Kamanchi Sly of Hijack got on stage while BDK was performing & Kane took his jacket off to fight K Sly. Hijack didn't get to perform so performed outside from K Sly's car, they did four songs & there's videos of this online. Talib Kweli then exposed the fact that he's an idiot online by saying he doesn't know who Hijack are & thinking they were 1 person lol

I think I’d rather see BDK and Masa Ace perform anyway Me and Talib may be idiots but for reasons other than not knowing who hijack is lol

quick google search and heres the article from hiphop dx and the video..
Big Daddy Kane didn’t expect UK rapper Kamanchi Sly to storm the stage while he was performing at a recent show, which almost led to the pair getting into a tussle.
The legendary rapper served as the headliner for a massive Hip Hop 50 event at London’s O2 Forum Kentish Town on Saturday (August 26), which included additional performances from Elzhi,Onyx,Masta Ace and others.
In a video captured of the event, Kane can be seen spitting with ferocity to an energized crowd, before a masked rapper – who was later identified as Hijack member Kamanchi Sly – wanders onto the stage and simply stands in front of the cheering audience. Kane tolerates the interruption for a few moments but ends up stopping the music and confronting the masked agitator.
“You’re doing too much playboy,” Kane said as his security wandered out on stage to escort the rapper off. “I need the stage, you’re doing too much.”
After gently trying to push Sly off, the rapper turns to him and confronts Kane to his face, saying something to which Kane replies: “That ain’t my f**kin’ problem.”
Sly continues to antagonize Kane, who at one point tries to take off his jacket and get ready to fight before his crew members come and diffuse the situation
It’s unclear what exactly happened, but YouTube commenters who claimed to have been at the show wrote below the aforementioned video that Sly was upset that his group Hijack – a well-established rap group in the UK – kept getting bumped further down the show’s roster in favor of American acts.
Another alleged attendee wrote: “I heard they rolled up late and missed their spot. No one’s fault apart from Hijack. They got to the venue late and missed their spot. Kane was due to follow Masta Ace and that’s what he did. I heard Hijack missed the slot given to them before Masta Ace and then carried on like this. This is just what I heard.”
Thankfully, the pair didn’t end up fighting and the show went on as planned.
Kamanchi Sly, DJ Supreme, DJ Undercover, Ulysses, Agent Fritz and Agent Clueso formed Hijack in the late 1980s. They got a significant buzz following the release of their debut single “Style Wars” and was eventually signed by Ice-T to his label Rhyme Syndicate.
After extensively working on, and promoting their debut album The Horns of Jericho, the group struggled to release it after Ice-T’s song “Cop Killer” caught the attention of President George Bush and the FBI. Ice was forced to close Rhyme Syndicate records as a result of the controversy, but took steps to ensure Hijack ended up at Warner Bros, but the label only released The Horns Of Jericho in the UK, destroying their ambitions of international stardom.
“What they did was they released the Hijack album in Britain and apparently didn’t feel the record sold enough there to merit it being sold in the United States,” Ice-T recalled in a previous interview with Rock the Bells. “Now, what number they needed, I was unaware of — I never knew and that conversation never came up to me until later.
“So it was a very disappointing moment to drop the Hijack album, do the videos, put ’em out, release it in the UK, and then have Warners decide they didn’t want it release it in the United States. That was it.”

Kane was due to follow Masta Ace and that’s what he did. I heard Hijack missed the slot given to them before Masta Ace and then carried on like this. This is just what I heard.” The problem is their original slot was between Masta Ace & Kane. I travelled to the gig in London from Scotland without knowing Onyx weren't turning up even though they'd apparently cancelled the previous day. So because Onyx never turned up even though they were supposed to be on after Hijack, for some reason their slot was changed from 12 to 11:30. They were then supposed to go on after Blade but Masta Ace went on & Kane went on. They also never soundchecked so i'm not sure how to feel about it...

Kane wasn’t playin around. He was about to f**k that dudes s**t up personally lol.
He’s right. It ain’t his fkn problem. They announced him, he came out started rocking his sht and some nobody in a mask stands there like some tough guy?
Woulda been great if they let Kane rip his head off and throw it in the crowd.

Standard response itt is always going to be “who the f**k is Hijack?”
99.9% of this forum wouldn’t have a clue, being a late 80’s uk crew it’s understandable, not the normal s**t you see on here or posters would be aware of
honestly this was a bad move….they hardly stormed the stage, only K sly was prominent and if he really just wanted to let the crowd know he was there he could have done it from the sidelines he didn’t have to try and upstage Kane. The rant after was a bit nonsensical, it wasn’t becoming of a professional artist, Hijack in their early 50’s to f**k up Kanes set is the sort of s**t you do when your rash and young, not a seasoned professional artist although it is Hijack style but their time has come and gone a long time ago…Also gotta give props to Kane, he can spit even in his advanced years, he came out spittin’
I found the car footage a bit sad to see….it smacked of desperation and to see a crew of their stature doing it…I don’t know, was it really for the handful of fans or just self promotion….. it was a 15 minute slot hardly worth all the drama….they didn’t show up to the sound check, the only artist that didn’t. Seems true as no one who did has come out to say they were there. So it seems a problem of their own making….it was a 15 minute set…what’s that 3 to 4 songs max? They weren’t headliners. I understand they got paid too…this whole situation though,it’s embarrassing for uk hip hop and Hijack. Obviously a communication problem, but this would have been clear if they arrived for the f**king sound check like everyone else. 279, Shortee blitz, Blade etc. all fans and supporters of Hijack all have the same story….they were late.
the crowd would have gone nuts if they had performed it’s true, Hijack aren’t nobody’s and they could have enhanced their reputation but sheer unprofessionalism at not showing for the sound check and coming in late, then blaming the promoters, the “dead stock crowd” illuminati etc. just has harmed them more
for the unaware Ice T signed them after Tim (sex pest) Westwood spun their track Hold No Hostage during Ice T interview on his show. They toured with Rhyme Syndicate. They were Ill live, they had a stage show that was up there with public enemy at their peak. The Horns of Jericho was ahead of it’s time and Q Bert quotes this album as a huge influence on the invisibl skratch piklz and himself personally, he got DJ Supreme to be a guest speaker at the 2000 Skatchcon in San Francisco. They had a legendary performance on Dance Energy (albeit Supreme wasn’t present) that is regarded as one of the best sets ever in the show. Ice t still spit a verse on a track for Supreme just a year or two back for the Artic remix, Q Bert featured on Supreme legacy remixing Bring the Terror. Anyone who heard them back in the late 80s knows they had some huge tracks Doomsday of Rap is a beast of Apache. They flipped the same sample Nas has used twice years before him the sample for Hip Hop is Dead and Thief’s theme off the Bongo band record. Label f**ked them album got a limited release and no stateside release so their hype tanked leaving them as the ultimate could have beens
and there is obviously a lot of bitterness about that as evidenced the other night. I am a fan I have all their original stuff Music of Life, Rhyme Syndicate, Naked Ape, Reservoir Records on wax. But I ain’t been feeling K Sly since the Supreme f**kery with a dance dj, I ain’t mad at his Pied Piper s**t he gotta get paid that brought him a house but fobbing off fans with a fake supreme….pricing the Original Horns of Jericho at a grand on wax on their website…..d**k moves
its a shame as the recent Supreme legacy s**t has been dope

Yeah f**k all that.
It was a corny and honestly bizarre move these wanna be “rap legends” tried to pull off. I caught second hand embarrassment watching this little charade. The s**t made BDK even more of a G the way he stopped his show and went right at the lil s**t stain.
The goofy Twitter rant afterward was almost as bad and really sealed this dudes fate. He came across like a spoiled child throwing a tantrum. “You lick arses! Give us props America!”
Saying arse instead of a** is not hip hop. So right there he took another self L. Bad couple days for this guy.
The only thing these UK fgts will forever be associated with now is that time they forgot who they were for a second and got reminded real fast by a real rap legend.
It’s EXACTLY how Jay Z said.
“I’m uncomfortable dog. I don’t know you.”
