In that moment I came up onstage to celebrate my two icons singing about NY.”

Last night on the corner of 7th Ave and 32nd St in Manhattan, Jay-Z solidified his spot as the greatest rapper ever. Selling out the Garden for an eighth time, Jigga ran through a string of hits including cuts off The Blueprint 3. If you couldn’t experience it live, capture the moment after the cut.

Here’s the end result of Oprah and Hova’s meeting in Brooklyn a month ago. After the jump, Jigga talks about the days of having pockets full of hope, reconnecting with his dad, and how Ty Ty straightens up around old white women.
