Clocked out early yesterday and went up to Staples to see Jay and Kanye.
No opening acts so you sort of just chill for a couple hours at first. Drake showed up and everyone went nuts as he walked through the crowd. Then H.A.M. came on and everything kicked off.
3 hours of hits. Amazing. Their solo stuff was even better to me than the WTT tracks and it's unbelievable how many smashes they each have. Gold Digger, Hard Knock Life, All Falls Down, Jesus Walks, Big Pimpin, Black Album hits, 808 songs, everything.
Izzo comes on and they talk about how that was Kanye's first Rocafella record. Kanye always mentions the fact that he used to be a Jay-Z fan - he went to the Hard Knock Life tour in '98 in Chicago as a fan. When you see where he's at now - that's just so unbelievable to think about.
Really cool atmosphere. Both Jay and Kanye seemed to be in really chill moods. Near the end of the show, a fan handed Jay a vinyl album cover from The Blueprint and he and Kanye both signed it while onstage.
And then of course, the encore. Ni**as in Paris. 10x in a row. Seriously. Back to back to back. The song will probably be stuck in my head for the rest of year. Not mad about it.
