His two sets focused most on his latest album “The Blueprint 3,” but his songs still managed to span his 14-year recording career as he roamed the stage in front of giant screens.
He used a mixture of full songs and smoothly transitioning medleys to hit all his major singles and other crowd-pleasers.
And the 40-year-old rapper, one of the biggest names in modern music, managed to make every bit of it feel personal — even for patrons in the upper decks completely across the arena.
Jay Z kept conversation going with his fans between songs and got them involved with calls for hand-motions, chants and moments of respect for the deceased of the rap world.
Notorious B.I.G., Tupac Shakur and Pimp C were all honored during Jay Z’s two sets and the Jeezy set that divided them without any letdown.
