Jay Z shows Sydney how to Roc Tha Block (and Ne-Yo's after party)

October 26th 2006 21:31
I got to the Entertainment Centre (Sydney) last Wednesday night real late, like 9.30ish, but I was just in time for Jay Z's set. He went off, Memphis Bleek rockin' alongside him. Amazing as always, it's a shame that he wasn't appreciated as much as his protegés Ne-Yo and Rihanna, who performed earlier; everyone I had asked about the two previous performances said "Ne-Yo was real good, but Rihanna wasn't much of a performer - she's just hot."

There were many who left during Jay Z's performance, and of those who stayed, only about a fifth (probably even less) knew all his music, his lyrics, and of those whom he gave tributes to (Biggie, Pac, Jam Master Jay, Aaliyah - I had tears in my eyes for Babygirl).

Still, Jay Z worked the crowd and would tease them with snippets of Beyoncé's instrumentals, in the hope that she'll come out and do a surprise guest performance with her beau - this was probably the reason a lot of people stayed for Jay Z yet it never happened.

There was some debate over which after party was the real hot spot: Jay Z & Beyoncé were scheduled to be at an industry party in Kings Cross, while the official after party hosted by Ne-Yo (he didn't get on the mic at all) was at Home nightclub.

I chose Home.

Jay Z and B were at the Cross for about 20 minutes, don't really know what happened there, but Ne-Yo stayed a while at Home, and entertained several female fans (no, not in any sexual way).

And no, for those wondering if I got snapped happy with the star in the VIP room, I didn't get to meet him even though he was only a metre away.

Well done to all the organisers and promoters for a hugely successful concert and I'm sure the rest of the tour will be just as incredible. Special thanks to Mr S.H. and the NonStopTouring team for treating me so kindly - enjoy Brisbane and Melbourne!

I think Jay-Z has outgrown the mainstream hip hop community... It's time for him to sit back and watch the young ones...

I was at the Jay Z concert, and all I can say is WOW!! He put on one of the best shows I had ever seen. Bleek was great as always. Jay knew exactly how to rock the crowd, and I was really surprised to realise that I knew basically all his lyrics to every song he performed (I guess thats from listening to his music for ten years haha).

All in all, an awesome show by the "Best Rapper Alive".

I still feel Jay-Z and I think the younger ones should check out some of the great rap artists from 80s and 90s...

Hahaha congratulations girl for gettin' that sweat filled towel

Whats the deal with Chingy? His new album is off the hook! He was awesome on Roc Tha Block.

Have you heard anything about his upcoming tour?
