Usually when performance times get pushed earlier it doesn't mean good things, but when it came to Jay Electronica's set at the Brooklyn Hip-Hop Fest this afternoon -- which he asked to switch from last to second-to-last "as a sign of respect" to co-headliner Raekwon -- it's the best thing that could've happened to fans of the Roc Nation rapper: it allowed his set to be as guest-laden as possible, with appearances from Mac Miller, J. Cole and, yes, Roc boss Jay Z himself.
Jay Z happened to be passing through town on his and Beyoncé's summer On the Run tour; they hit New Jersey's MetLife stadium last night and will make a repeat performance there tonight. Cole is slated to play New York on Tuesday, while Miller flew in just off shooting a forthcoming video for self-produced cut "Diablo."
