Black Star Tickets

I love Black Star. My two favorite artists of all time. I don't want to hate or be negative but honestly, I was disappointed. Mosdef had great stage presence while Talib wore a baseball cap pulled low that covered his face. I expected this concert to blow my mind but it instead kept me mildly entertained. The worse part was that the concert started at 11:30PM and the main act didn't go on until 2AM!! There was a long period of waiting which was very annoying and left the crowd bored. These two are still my fav but I would think twice before paying to see them again...

It was off the hook. If you like real hip-hop and you like blackstar then go watch them anywhere they are at. The only negative thing though was the fact that they only performed for an hour, hour and a half. If they would have gone longer it would have been one of the most amazing shows I ever been to.

It was great seeing the two of them on stage together again. These guys are gods in NYC. The livest hip hop crowds in NYC ALWAYS involve these two performing. Incredible.

I live in Atlanta and planned an entire week in NYC around the Black Star show at Nokia Theater. My friends and I decided to go to the late show, which turned out to be a bad idea. We got in line in Times Square around 9:30. The doors opened at 11 and we took our places right up front. The opening band was amazing- Black Violin came out and impressed the audience. Unfortunately, the next act wasn't a hit. 88 Keys, a Kanye West protege was booed off stage after one song, leaving us wanting Black Star and nothing else. Finally, at 1:30 AM Talib and Mos Def came out. They were great, but to my disappointment played only an hour set, mostly of Mos Def's solo material. I felt this show would have been a great opportunity to bring out special guests that have frequented both of their albums, I also felt this would have been a great opportunity for a live band to back them up. The overall production of the show was a mess. It felt like no one was organized behind the scenes. With all of the problems the show did have, I'd do it all over again. It was hip-hops version of a Zeppelin reunion. A once in a lifetime opportunity. I guess this was a simple case of high expectations not being met.

Loved the energy... Could feel it as soon as you get in... The line was crazy long and we waited a while but they brought the house down. They did have an opening act with the same name as theirs only BlaqStarr and they were the worst... but Mos and Kweli are Legends in my mind! Great Job!!!

Mos And Talib Are Two of Rap's Greatest Emcees...The Show Was Awesome. Nokia Rocked that night. Cant wait for next Album..GO SEE THIS SHOW if it comes your way..
