THE JAY Z HANGAR TOUR - Part II- the Review

Cingular Sounds presents: THE JAY Z HANGAR TOUR- Part II- The Review

Now let me reiterate, so you realize how serious this was. I don't do longs lines and I do not do gen pop anymore, haven't for years. But I wanted to experience this historical event as a fan. I stood in line for over 90 minutes in the cold and was on the floor, front stage center and shouted lyrics along with Jay and the 1000 plus standing room only fans til my voice was damn near sore.
Again this was history in the making and I wanted to be a part of it.
This was a concert at 6am in the morning. A never-before-done 17 hour, 7 city
tour with da ATL being the jump off.

After Atlanta, Hova performs in Philadelphia, Washington D.C., New York, Chicago, Los Angeles and the grand finale in Las Vegas, flying by a BBJ, (Boeing Business Jet) totally tricked out 737 jet from gig to gig. The “never-been-done” tour will probably go down as one of the most creative and successful one-day concert tours in music history. The tour will also be available to watch from Cingular phones.

A pair of winners from each city will win the chance to travel with Jay-Z on his private jet to witness the remaining concerts on the scheduled tour. The winners will not have to worry about a change of clothes because Roc-A-Wear will supply them with a complete ROC outfit.

With DJ Green Latern on the one's and two's and his longtime man from Marcy, Memphis Bleek as his hype man, Jay ran thru a medley of his hits and a few treats from the new CD, including The Takeover, Kingdom Come, PSA, 30 Something, Jigga My Nigga, Hola Hovito, H To The Izzo and Big Pimpin, which I have to admit got the entire crowd extremely energetic. By that time everyone all totally forgot they couldn't feel their fingers and toes outside just 45 minutes earlier. Hova turn the hottest honey and hardest homeboy and hoodfella into a fan by this time with this set.

"Y'all niggas must've had some coffee!," Jigga told the crowd, "How y'all doing this? Oh, y'all aint go in the house, y'all comin straight from the club. No don't front some of you came straight from the club"

Wasting no time and going 15-20 minutes over his schedule time making the venues management a bit nervous, he went into Give It To Me, Show Me What You Got, spit a quick acapella 'to the haters.'
The crowd got even more amped and began shouting "Brooklyn", from Jay's reply to Jim Jones diss titled, Brooklyn High, where Jigga remixed Jones' joint, Ballin and changed the chorus to Brooklyn.

Then the beat dropped and Hov ended the show with Encore, and was out, jumped on his BBJ and headed to the Philly to perform and pick up 2 more fans to accompany him at the tours finale in Vegas.

Jay-Z also just completed his four-continent world tour, performing in some of the world's largest cities, including Paris, London, Sydney, Seoul and Cape Town. He was crowned a king in Nigeria and supplied water wells in African shanty towns. Now that Hovie's home he is handling his home turf.

Say what you want about Jay Z, but everything he does is an event, from doin a 17 hour, 7 city tour and then taking over 106 and Park to perform 10 songs, 1 each from his 10 albums instead of their daily countdown to promote the release of his latest musical offering Kingdom Come or having Michael (Let's Get Ready To Rumble) Buffer introduce him and having his jersey lifted to the rafters in Madison Square Garden during the taping of Fade To Black, having Nas come out in concert with him after their long running highly publicized beef or having Danica Patrick and Dale Ernhart Jr race through Monaco in the Show Me what You Got Video, who doin it bigger.
