Shows like this one really make me miss New York (especially since this one went down about 4 blocks from my old place). As much as I’m disappointed by the Blueprint 3 album, I can’t help but continue to be impressed by Jay-Z’s live show. I haven’t seen him live since the tour he did around the time In My Lifetime Vol.2 was released, but his set has just gotten stronger over the years.

His live show really demonstrates how vital Jay’s music really is to the hip-hop community. He can basically throw his song catalog in a bag then pick songs out randomly and it’s pretty much guaranteed 75% of the people in the audience will be screaming every line of the song. The guy is a true legend in every sense of the word.
