[Joell Ortiz of Slaughterhouse via] Saturday was a great day to be from Queensbridge, or at the very least, to love the music that comes from there. The infamous New York City housing project put two of its most famous homegrown acts front and center, as Nas and Mobb Deep led a deep an impressive lineup of classic 90's hip-hop acts onstage at the San Manuel Ampitheatre to kick of the 2011 incarnation of hip-hop's biggest summer festival, Rock The Bells.

And because Queensbridge rolls deep, it kinda goes without saying that yes, Ron "Metta World Peace" Artest was in the building.
