The Heart of New York City
*crowd in uproar*
*Jay-Z stands center stage in silence*
"You know, for a second..I thought we were in the mothafuckin Hamptons...New York City, make some NOISE!"
Naturally, for the first night of the Heart of the City tour, Mr. Brooklyn himself had to demand his respect.
Friday, May 2nd was opening night for Jay-Z and Mary J. Blige's "Heart of the City" tour. If you consider yourself a living citizen of New York City you would have been well aware of the sold out shows. New York's dynamic duo opened with "Can't Knock The Hustle" sending Madison Square into immediate uproar as they stepped out in complimentary silver outfits.
Mary took her half of the show next, doing naturally all the crowd favorites from her first couple albums. The whole crowd swayed to "Not Gonna Cry"; They passed overstuffed blunts to "You're all I Need"; They caught the Holy Ghost with Mary to "No More Drama" and held their hearts to "You Remind Me" and "Take Me as I Am". All in all, Mary put on her usual scream fest that we all love and adore. She forced you to reconsider what drives her on stage to a point of what resembles sheer madness-the Holy Ghost? Her life? Or a return to drugs?
"Flashing Lights" by Kanye West was a nice surprise-Now, of course, he didn't appear much to audience dismay, he's currently in Texas doing his own, "Glow In The Dark" tour (Coming to the Garden on May 13th). The stage became swallowed in black as the beat dropped, with strobe lights-very "Glow In The Dark" tour-esque,
She closed her set by shutting the stage down with "Just Fine"-accompanied by pyrotechnics and fireworks that were enough to blind people and singe off all synthetic hair weaves.
While, Hov's set was......
Hov's set.........
OPRAH was in the first row on the show, so I think these photos should make sense to you:
He did an EXCELLENT freestyle about the current stage of America and Obama.....
And Mrs. Hov naturally made a guest appearance. She ran on and did a little booty shake to "Crazy In Love" and ran off.
Memphis Bleek also showed his face, DESPERATE for a check:
All in all, I give Hov an A- in review....
It was a great, but typical Hov show with the addition of the politics..
Whether you came for the Queen of Hip-Hop and R&B, an American Gangster, or whether you wanted those "heroin tracks" one thing will always remain the same...
Baby you like....Hov.
Love,
Your neighborhood friendly,
