HOV!
Think you have time this morning to go back down memory lane with Jay Z? Here’s your chance. The rapper played the first of two shows at New York’s Terminal 5 venue, a concert he says he’s been trying to pull off for 7 to 10 years. The intimate ‘B-Sides Concert’, where the hits are put on the sideline for the night and the deep cuts and rarities get their time in the spotlight.
Day one Jay Z fans got their wish last night as the initial ‘B-Sides Concert’ streamed on Tidal for free. An encore of the show immediately followed well until midnight Sunday night (May 17). While Jay used the ‘B-Sides Concert’ to not only promote his TIDAL streaming service, he also took time to debut a freestyle putting the deaths of Trayvon Martin, Mike Brown & Freddie Gray nearly in the same tone as dealing with YouTube & Spotify in regards to his earnings and pockets.
