Staten Island took over Brooklyn's Barclays Center Saturday night when the Wu-Tang Clan reunited for their official return.
Before the infamous hip hop crew's takeover began, Bone Thugs-N-Harmony, Dom Kennedy, and Curren$y performed for the Source magazine's 25th anniversary celebration during the first annual SOURCE360 concert.
Another reunion took place when Harlem's the Diplomats hit the stage for the first time in three years.
Juelz Santana and Jim Jones set it off before Cam'ron joined them to perform their classic hits "Oh Boy," "Hey Ma," and others.
Brooklyn-native and first-time mami, Lil' Kim, who welcomed a little girl, Royal Reign in June, hit the stage with vengeance and something to prove, rhyming "this ain't no championship s--t, I've been the greatest."
The Queen B went hard core with songs like "Get Money." She paid homage to the late Notorious BIG by performing his hit "Hypnotize." Prodigy from Mobb Deep teamed up with Kim for "Quiet Storm."
"Bringing the house down," the Barclays Center tweeted along with photos of Kim's performance.
A fan gave her a gift for her "little Queen B."
"Royal's gonna love it," she said, describing the gift as "so f--cking cute."
Heating up the BK arena, Wu-Tang's Rza came out to hype the crowd.
"Is New York in the building?" he asked. "This is the birthplace of hip hop. Don't let anyone take that from us!"
Method Man, Ghostface Killah, Raekwon, Gza, U-God, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck and Cappadonna stormed the stage, getting the crowd to chant "Wu-Tang Clan ain't nothing to f--k with!"
"@WuTangClan taking over," the Barclays tweeted with a photo collage from the group's showcase.
"There's only one member who couldn't make it tonight," Rza said before a huge photo of the late Ol' Dirty Bastard appeared on the screen.
In honor of the fallen Wu soldier, the Clan performed "Shimmy Shimmy Ya."
"What an insane show. @WuTangClan rocking BK," the Barclays tweeted.
"It's officially been 21 years since we been in the game," Meth said. "And we owe that all to New York City."
