Jay Z 4:44 Tour
Though his musical endeavors as an artist, label exec and producer provide the foundation for Jay-Z's empire, he's also a successful serial entrepreneur. He's made his mark in the fashion world with his Rocawear clothing line, and he's branched into the sports world -- first as a part owner of the Brooklyn Nets of the NBA, then as the owner of the Roc Nation sports and entertainment agency. As he rapped in one song, "I'm not a businessman / I'm a business, man."
Jay-Z's rise came from humble beginnings. He and his three siblings grew up in a housing project in Brooklyn's Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood, and he was raised by his single mother after his father left when he was 11 years old. His early lyrics refer to a life rife with gun violence and drug dealing, and he's claimed that he turned to hip hop as a way out of poverty.
Carter began to get noticed as a rapper in 1989, when he joined an older performer and mentor named Jaz-O to record a song titled "The Originators," which landed them on an episode of Yo! MTV Raps. Around this time, Carter began to perform as Jay-Z out of respect for Jaz-O and as a nod to his childhood nickname "Jazzy."
After bouncing around in relative obscurity, Jay-Z and two friends, Damon Dash and Kareem Burke, took things into their own hands by creating their own label, Roc-A-Fella Records, in 1996. Jay-Z's first album, "Reasonable Doubt," was released that June, and immediately established him as a star-in-the-making.
From there, it seemed Jay-Z could do no wrong. He's sold more than 50 million albums worldwide, amassed 17 Grammy Awards, and has become known as one of the greatest rappers ever. He married Beyonce Knowles in 2008, and Forbes has ranked the pair Hollywood's top-earning couple.
Jay-Z's concerts regularly sell out, with fans scooping up tickets to see a true living legend who can command an audience with or without a huge stage production. In fact, his early Magna Carter shows were one of his most stripped-down productions, but nonetheless generated consistent raves from fans and critics alike.
great show! little cold, and took longer than anticipated to get things going. also no opening act or special appearances, but hey, its freaking Beyonce and JayZ, who needs an opening act??
Amazing. Well-worth it ! This was the best concert I have ever been too and Beyoncé really has a voice of an angel.
Love them but Beyonce's last solo tour was way more of a production, I was expecting more. Still worth the price of a ticket as both j and b sound amazing live.
Amazing show, great venue, good people. The Carters pulled out all the stops. Hands down the best show I've ever been to.
Good show she was flawless sadly I wanted more for Queen Bee expected more of her hits to be performed. bad thing was the show supposed to start at 7:30 that not happened the show started more than 2 hours later
We really enjoyed the show, a high energy love story of a powerfully and creatively talented couple.
The concert is great it is just it started so late
Totally worth my money! They put on the greatest show of the year :D
The sound quality was great and the volume was exactly where it should be for a concert. However, I think Beyonce and Jay-Z focused too much on songs they were both a part of and didn't do very many singles of Their Own. On top of that they were trying to use trumpets and drums and guitars 2 replicate songs that didn't use any of these instruments in the first place. I personally hate it when artist do that. The stage setup was pretty cool. However it was not that great for those viewing from an angle. Couldn't see the rest of the stage behind the big screen. And the thing I hated probably more than anything was how late they started. The concert started at 7:30. There was only one opening act and they started 40 minutes late. After they were done it took almost an hour and a half for Jay Z and Beyonce to come on. Not cool or fair to fans that have to work. Especially on a Thursday night!!!
Venue was bomb, seats were bomb and performers were beyond words
I’ve been to 5 shows in total. 3 of them Beyoncé and Jay Z and 2 Bey by herself. They always put on an AMAZING show, best dancers, visuals,EVERYTHING it’s on point, can’t wait for the next tour!! <3
Bey and J didn’t come on until almost two hours after the warm up act. Not cool!
The performance was great but the quality of sound was terrible
OTR II was absolutely amazing!! #HOV and #QueenB are magic!!
The show was really good but the sound was not as good as in the Coldplay concert.
Best concert I have ever been to! The carters are such a power couple. I want love like theres one day <3
Nice organized show ,that started 2 hours late (9,30 pm instead of 7,30 pm), sound was not that good on back seats, and just 1-2 hits singing.( lot of rap)
The microphone on Jayz malfunctioned and the performance by Beyonce wasn't what i expected it to be.
This was honestly my favorite Beyoncé and Jay Z concert and hands-down one of my top Beyoncé concert I have ever been to. It may be because it was their last show but it was beautiful to see their love their journey their freedom within eac it may be because it was their last show but it was beautiful to see their love, their journey, their freedom all while staying true to their art. Club carter was amazing. Dancing with their family, friends and team was also a good bonus.
The concert itself was amazing! However!! Having to wait over 2 hours after the opener performed for Beyoncé and Jay-Z to perform was not fun! Very boring and very frustrating to wait that long! Also had to leave early because the concert exceeded the time of our parking ticket. Next time, start on time!
