Jay-Z
Jay-Z left 8,000 fans including football player Ashley Cole and Coldplay front man Chris Martin thrilled yesterday as he performed at Alexandra Palace in North London.
Jay-Z’s live band and Memphis Bleek ( perhaps the most famous hype man in the business) played their part in entertaining the audience.
Jay-Z made the transition from relying on stereo to having a live band with the release of the American Gangster album in 2007.
The switch has created a higher quality musical sound at his performance and gives the artist a much greater level of control over the live performance.
Jay used the performance to brag and make audiences aware of his latest achievement, having achieved more number one albums in the US than Elvis Presley.
The Blueprint 3 boasting tracks such as Run This Town, Death of Auto-Tune, and Empire State of Mind has become the rapper’s 11th number one album.
The only act ahead of Jay now is the Beatles with eight number one albums more(19). The set spanned decades with a range of songs including, Big Pimpin, 99 problems and Empire State of Mind, next stop California.
