Jay-Z and Eminem Home and Home Concert


Can i just tell you now that i can die peacefully now that i have seen Eminem in concert. i honestly am such a die hard fan, this man can do no wrong. i got the opportunity via Twitter to pick up 2 tickets to the first day of the concert, and i could no turn the offer down. i'm sure you have all read in every blog about all the cameos that were made that night from G-Unit and Dr. Dre to Kanye West and Chris Martin. i just wanted to share with you some of my favorite moments of the show. i had recently said before the concert that i was praying Em would do the song "Kill You" off of The Marshall Mathers LP. and what do ya know? its the 3rd song he performed! i swear i could have left the concert RIGHT THEN and been satisfied with the experience. he went on to bring out G-Unit and D12, but i think the highlight for me was when Dre came and and they did "Still D.R.E" and Eminem rapped Snoop's verse. i was surprised that towards the end of his set he did "Toy Soldier" because to be honest, i never saw that as one of his most popular songs. Moving along, Jay-Z NEVER dissapoints as this was the 2nd time ive seen him in concert. i was mostly looking forward to hearing him perform songs off Blueprint 3 just because i've recently fallen in love with that album (it took me some getting used to, but its a fuckin masterpiece). he performed "Already Home" which is probably one of my fave songs off the album, and he of course brought Swizz out for "On To The Next One." 'Ye came out and did monster with an appearance from Nicki Minaj. To be honest, i thought her VMA performance was TRASH, but she fuckin murdered her verse on Monster, i aint even gon lie. one of my highlights of Jay's performance was when he brought out Chris Martin and when he dropped "Viva la Vida" i fuckin lost it. Jay-Z always gives the people what they want, even if it does come out of left field (no pun intended considering it was at Yankee Stadium). He always closes his shows with his most popular songs like "Big Pimpin" and "Jigga What, Jigga Who" but i think my favorite closer is the fact that he did "Encore" to the Linkin Park "Numb" beat. That Jay and Linkin Park album is probably one of my fave mash-ups to date. All in all i would say that it was one of the best concerts i've EVER been to, and now i'm just afraid that any concert i go to after this, wont live up to this one.
