Jay-Z's concerts are always so layed back. He has his DJ, and himself. Usually walking back and forth spitting rhymes, moving his shoulders to some odd inaudible chord in the instrumental, whilst ushering out various featured artists. His September 11th Charity concert, dubbed "Answer The Call" was no different. It featured cameo's by Rihanna and Kanye West in "Run This Town", Santogold in "Brooklyn (Go Hard), Bridget Kelly in "Empire State of Mind", former def-jam recording artist--> and my twitter crush Constance Howard, Mary J. Blige in a throwback Reasonable Doubt to ensemble, and of course, a short surprise performance by his Mrs. Jay-Z herself, Beyonce Knowles.
His concert was great as always, although I did cringe when Mary J. Blige went gangster and started singing her new single "I'm The One". I thought she was about to pull out a gat and start shootin in the air.Thankfully she just grabbed her crotch a few times. The Run This Town performance was nice and easy, Rihanna sang in a leather leotard getup with faux bullets around her waist. She also premiered her new blonde extensions. In the end, the short Beyonce performance was most exciting for me-- love the little get down at the end, 1:30 seconds.
Had TO POST THIS PIC OF BEYONCE'S MOMMA THROWIN' THE ROC SIGN LAST NIGHT SO FUNNY. Leave her alone!
