Now with the internet buzzin’ about the event T.I. reflects on his first headlining appearance at Madison Square. “It was definitely a fantastic experience on a whole … I was looking forward to it. I get the ticket numbers every day before every show, so we’ll know how many people to expect. What kind of crowd. When I got the ticket number the day of, we were already well above 10,000. Not counting walkups, not counting contest winners. I knew it was going be a sold-out show. Then Jay had already confirmed he was gonna come kick it with me. Then that day Kanye confirmed he was gonna come. Swizz said he was running late, he was supposed to come for the first half of my set for ‘Bring Em Out.' He was coming from Philly. I think traffic was holding him up, but he came right on time,” T.I. told MTV.

“I was running late … Nobody was answering their phones. So the closer I’m getting to the city, I’m like, ‘Damn, nobody is answering their phone.’ I don’t know how to get the credentials. So I decided just walk through the muthafucka. I walked up like, ‘I need to get to the stage.’ The security was like, ‘How do I know it’s you?’ The people in the streets were like, ‘That’s Swizz! She ain’t got no money in the bank!’” Swizz told MTV about his lateness.

As Jay-Z and T.I. performed Watch What You Say 50 Cent ran on stage unannounced.

"The plan was to bring Kanye out … I was ready to go. I had my hand on the button. I turn around and see 50 walking up ... ooh! I hold up for a second. I don't just wanna go in, it wasn't according to plan. Everybody was like, 'Wow.' You knew from that point on, this was gonna be a bigger night than planned. I was like, 'That's 50! 50 knows how to make a movie out of anything, even if it's already a blockbuster!” DJ Drama said, who was on the 1’s and 2’s as the event went down.

“Jay was looking like, ‘What are you doing? What are you doing walking out in the middle of the show, man?’ … They thought I was gonna do something because of the way they responded to me when I walked out,” 50 told Whoo Kid during an interview on Shade45.

Surprised of 50’s appearance, T.I. knew nothing bad was gonna go down and continued to rock.

“Me and 50 have been delegating throughout the tour … We have a mutual respect for one another. We were kicking it; he was in my dressing room before the show. Him and Yayo, they were in my dressing room; having drinks and talking shit. Me, him, Maino, the G-Unit as well as Puff. All of us were in the dressing room kicking it. That [50’s appearance] was an extension of that moment,” T.I. told MTV. “50 came out, that was spontaneous, but it was all love … He was welcomed. When he came out, we rolled with the punches. It wasn't like he wasn't welcome. It was like, '50 coming out, too? Bet,’” T.I. continued.

Kanye is now on stage to perform Can’t Tell Me Nothing…

"So I'm walking through the crowd, no jewelry on in my fuckin' hoodie. I'm fresh off the road. I'm walking through the crowd like a regular n---a, and the people see me and were bugging. I didn't want to just run up there, 'cause I didn't know what niggas had planned. So I made eye contact with Drama and gave him the nod like, 'I'm here!' He gave the signal, and a dude just gave me a mic and pushed me to the stage. So I walked up to the stage during Jay-Z's performance of 'Encore,' and when I got up there, I did 'Money in the Bank.' You should have heard the crowd. I thought I was gonna miss that shit, boy. That shit was chaos, B! It's the part that's not calculated that makes it amazing,” Swizz explained.

"An absolute pleasure, a lot of love … Everybody came through and showed love. It's rare in hip hop that we have genuine, positive moments like that. It's good for us to sit back and embrace it now. It's the first moment of that magnitude that I had specific involvement in. I have been involved in plenty of moments such as that, but for it to be my show, my set ... it's the biggest thing I've been the culprit of. I feel great about it. Thanks to Jay, Kanye, Puff, 50 and Swizz. Everybody, it was really like an all-star game. It wasn't nobody worried about how many points they were scoring, who sold the most records. It was a celebration and having a good time,” T.I. explained.

"It was really like the Finals was in Madison Square Garden … It was like winning a championship. It was a good feeling. You seen that glow. Tip was calm, he was in normal form, but everybody knew how monumental it was. That was big for the game,” DJ Drama continued of the show.

"It was showtime for real, for real," Swizz said. "That sh-- blew my mind, B! The way the people spazzed out, crazy! Everybody was showing each other love. That's how hip-hop is supposed to be. I was happy just to be a part of it. That right there needs to be the next Vibe cover: 'Hip-Hop Lives!' From a media standpoint, at MTV and even people at those magazines, y'all need to make it big. Cause if we was on that stage and somebody would have got smacked, that sh-- would have been on covers and all over the headlines, so I think people who's controlling the media needs to make it big as life." Swizz finishes up.

T.I. wraps up his thoughts on the show: "Just anybody couldn't have gotten all those people up there at one time. It has to be a person of great reputation with great social standing in this neighborhood we call hip hop. I'm real proud of that. It's not a lot of people who's cool with 50 and cool with Puff and good with Kanye and cool with Swizz and still get love in the Garden. Especially being in the Garden and being from the South. It's not a lot of people who could have pulled that off. Puff called me and said, 'Don't take that lightly. It's not a lot of New York niggas who could have pulled that off. I don't think I could have gotten all y'all niggas up there at one time like that.' I said, 'Yeah, I recognize it and appreciate it definitely.' "
