Jay-Z Performs At Roseland Ballroom

Jay-Z held his first New York concert this year at the Roseland Ballroom last night. The gig was part of Upfront Week for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. In the house were DJ Khaled, Fabolous, Swizz Beatz, and Pharrell.

Hov switched up the set list and even performed “Intro” and “Thank You” (see above) over The Boondocks theme song. Under the cut, he segues “Allure” into “Dead Presidents”. Below that, he brings out Swizzy for “On To The Next One”.

    Say hooray to the bad guy, and all the broads
    Puttin cars in they name for the stars of the game
    Puttin ‘caine in they bras and their tomorrows on the train
    All in the name of love
    Just to see that love locked in chains and the family came
    Over the house to take back, everything that they claimed
    Or even the worst pain is the distress
    Learnin you’re the mistress only after that love gets slain
    And the anger and the sorrow mixed up leads to mistrust
    Now it gets tough to ever love a-gain
    But the allure of the game, keeps callin your name
    To all the Lauras of the world, I feel your pain
    To all the Christies in every cities and Tiffany Lanes
    We all hustlers, in love with the same thang. It’s just the Life

    the show was sick Jay-Z started his first show with a bang, unfortunately the crowed was filled with (white ) people who truly where not in tune with real hip hop. This was a corporate /private party thrown by adult swim so regular hip hop heads where not allowed in. It a dam shame how corperate america can lock out real hip hop music from people who truly enjoy it, and it also a dam shame that Jay-Z will perform for who ever as long a the the money is right. Its about time to have a private event for the people who understand, love and appreciate hip hop not just for people who can afford to pay Jay- Z.

I think i might have even heard dead presidents…..Ive seen this mother fucker 3 times in the past two years

    1. Mohegan Sun Arena
    2. Norfolk Scope
    3. Yankee Stadium
