It’s Brooklyn’s finest! During the evening’s performance, Biggie’s presence was felt when the late rapper appeared on the big screen as Jay bigged up his brother. Christopher would have been proud.

While the sold out Barclays Center waited for Hov’s arrival, he finally emerged on his home court and opened up the show with “Where I’m From” and “Brooklyn We Go Hard”. Perfect grand opening.

“Ball so hard, I don’t respect the fuckin’ referees” The Barclays Center opened its doors this evening with Hov’s first of 8 sold-out shows. Currently in progress, Hov interrupted his set for an acapella of a new verse. Watch it, he’s got shooters on his team. complex

During this evening’s 2012 iTunes Festival in London, Alicia Keys premiered a brand new record titled, “Brand New Me”, off her November 27 release, Girl On Fire. Full performance here. rap-up
