How was last night you ask?

..well, first lemme shoutout LJ for my ticket, thanx babe, this was THE BEST b'day gift EVER!


Now..lemme start off by saying I've never been to a show at The Garden b4 so I wasnt sure what to expect. Last show I went to was at Nokia Theatre and they have no seating arrangements (we stood up for the whole show) so therefore it was 1st come, front row..ya dig?
Yea so, I went to MSG 2hrs before the show started just to be on the safe side. When I got there I realize there was no line, you walk in to the waiting area and that was it.
Waiting time was nothing, it went by sooo fast.
When I did get to my seat, I was there for an hr chilling b4 showtime. During that time I was wondering where everybody else was..I guess I'm the only one who didnt get the memo that at MSG you're guaranteed your seat.


Anyways...SHOWTIME! and ya boy Trey Songz opened up the show. His set was good, he really improved on his stage performance, I love it! (and I cant wait to see him again @ Roseland Ballroom later this month hehe)

Trey brought a chick on stage to sip champagne with him, little did she know he wanted her to SAY AHH lol, and this is when da boy Loso in case you aint  know so came out..Can I tell you it was a zoo?? *Fab voice* niice!


After Fab & Trey, was intermission...

Not long after came Hovi baby!

I dont think I need to tell you that went, but in case you're a lil bit slow...IT WAS PANDEMONIUM (as expected)
I'll post videos when I wake..


After Hov took a break, Jeezy came out and did his set, Jeezy ran thru joints from TM101 and 102. I thought I knew alot of Jeezy's raps but there was a teenage blanquito beside me, can I tell you dude knew every song word for word? niiice!
Jeezy then went on to give Lil Wayne a shoutout (supposedly Wayne started his 1 yr bid today...) and so he brought out the Barbie, Miss Nicki Minaj to rep for Wayne but in no time out came Lil Wayne himself! haha..1 yr bid my ass..They performed "I'm going in" and guess who showed up?....go ahead..guesss...

yep! Drizzy!. Drizzy is a rule breaker, his ass came out in full white! haha I love it! I truly didn't expect that at all. Thought Drake was still in JA but I guess he didn't want to miss sending his mentor off..


After a few more songs, out came Akon to do that song, cant remember the name.."if you looking for me you can find me on the block disobeying the law.." yea that one.

When they exited the stage out came Hov again, he brought out Trey for "Heart of The City" and Bridgette Kelly for "Empire State of Mind"

Great show! and Hov cracking on the audience made my night.
If you're familiar with his set then you know at the end he tries his best to spot you no matter how far up you are. Well...there was someone in front row in lime green outfit, and Hov spotted them and said "shoutout to the dude wearing lime green, I wouldnt have worn that but hey, that's just me" lol..lots more jokes. If you missed it you're a lame (except LJ)

He also did a few joints from Reasonable Doubt, which homie beside me surprised me again when he was going word for word with Jay on "Can I Live"..shoutout to him. vid of that coming later too..

P.S- vids coming later, i'm off to either 40/40 or M2

"One to the next one" director & Jay-Z sets the record straight

Remember last week when I broke down the images in the 'On to the next one' video? well I guess the director of the video been hearing the talks about what others thought about the video, similar to the mini break down I posted. he sat down with Vibe Magazine recently to clear the air, here's what he had to say:


Vibe: There’s been a lot of talk about Jay’s video containing Freemason imagery such as the horned animal head, an eagle and skull. What are your thoughts about such talk and why do you think music fans are so quick to believe a conspiracy narrative?




Sam Brown: I’m aware of the stir the video has caused and what people are saying. I think when you’re dealing in abstract imagery people are going to want to draw lines between things and make sense of it. However, I’ve always felt that the viewing public was, in general, extremely visually literate. They don’t always want or need things to be spelt out for them. One of the great things about music videos are they can be enjoyed purely visually—it doesn’t need to mean anything or make any sense. Conspiracy theory is another thing entirely, and seems to me to be about projecting pre-existing beliefs and desperately looking for things that confirm them. There is imagery in this video that is drawn from all over the place. None of it is owned by any one culture or belief system. You can connect anything if you try hard enough, and make it mean anything you want it to.




Vibe: Did Jay come up with the avant-garde treatment for the video? If so, do you think he (or yourself) was aware of the talk that some of the imagery would ignite?




Sam Brown: [To] tell the truth, I wouldn’t speak for Jay. I know he really liked the video. He strikes me as a very intelligent and forward-thinking person and I have huge respect for him and his label for wanting to bring something different. As the man says, he uses his cojones.


you can read more of that interview over at Vibe


Meanwhile, back on the ranch, Jay, Trey Songz & Jeezy stopped by HOT97 to kick it with Angie Martinez yesterday to speak on their tour (which by the way they will be performing March 2nd at MSG, which is also 8 days before my b'day *hint hint* ).

He also took the time out to tweet using Angie's account, peep Great Hova doing his thing.

Angie then asked him about the illuminati rumors, etc..listen here

Rihanna - So Hard

*Rihanna voice* oh yea yea yea...


I wonder if the next video we see Rhi Rhi in is she gonna be completely naked? Its like her clothes keep disappearing 1 video after the other....
In her recent GQ interview, she did state the LA Reid stopped by to check out the photoshoot and had to tell her "put some fucking clothes on" ..you can read all that here


Otherwise from that, the concept was kool, its like watching Call of Duty or Flashpoint in real time (to me anyways lol)

by the way did anyone peep the 2:17 mark when she threw up a C and then flashed it off? ha!
