Wearing all black and sporting his trademark Wayfarers, Jay-Z came out on the BankAtlantic Center stage with one goal, to give everyone there a concert to remember. This was a night which all Jay-Z fans will be boasting about for months, if not years, to come.
Jay-Z, also known as Shawn Carter, holds the record for No. 1 albums in the Billboard 200 and for selling more records than Elvis, the King himself. His success was apparent last night at the concert, the first concert in his BP3 tour, as every song he would perform got louder cheers than the last.
The Brooklyn native opened up the sold-out concert with the hit “Run This Town”, followed by an amazing “Diamonds From Sierra Leone” remix. He then went to play his latest hit, “On To The Next One”, followed by “D.O.A (Death to Auto-Tune)”.
Other hits played last night include, “99 Problems”, “Empire State Of Mind” featuring Bridget Kelly, “Dirt Off Your Shoulder”, “Swagga Like Us”, “Big Pimpin’”, and “Hard Knock Life”.
Jay-Z and his mic were backed by a mind-blowing 10-piece band, including two drummers and a large brass section. The band helped his songs boom and got reactions from the audience not seen or heard at other concerts. The impressive, visually-changing backdrop also helped emphasize his songs and their lyrics.
At the beginning of the night new artist Trey Songz started the party with recent hits such as “I Invented Sex” and “Say Aah”. His radio famous songs got the crowd pumped for the real show.
As a “half-time show”, also giving Jay-Z time to rest his tired voice, Young Jeezy took the stage to give a mediocre performance. Jeezy’s voice was out of tune, causing his lyrics to be hard to understand. It was apparent that the audience was highly anticipating the return of Jay-Z.
As the night came to an end, Jay-Z gave a respectable salute to the fans, “I appreciate every one of you.” Without a doubt Jay-Z knows how to put on remarkable performances.
