September the 11th, 2009 will go down in history as the date of one of the most legendary hip-hop shows of all time. It's Hova's homecoming: Brooklyn born rapper Jay-Z's "Blueprint 3" is available everywhere today (it was hustled out Tuesday, but lagged on some outlets), and tonight Jay-Z will be giving a "Answer The Call" memorial benefit concert at Madison Square Garden, for New York Police and Fire Widows' and Children's Benefit Fund, streamed and uninterrupted on music cable channel Fuse at 9p.m. live from NYC. All 20,000 tickets sold out within a matter of minutes on Tuesday morning.
In a way, Jay-Z's music will always be connected to 9/11, as the first original Blueprint album was released on the exact date as the tragedy, therefore it seems quite fitting that he will be performing for the cause. Jay-Z said "I'm just humbled by the experience," exactly what he will perform at the event is currently unknown, but he will perform some classics and some tracks from his latest album "The Blueprint 3".
Jay-Z’s 9/11 benefit concert turns into all-star marathon with his wife Beyonce, Kanye West, Rihanna, John Mayer, Diddy and Mary J Blige came together tonight to pay tribute to fallen police and firefighters of 9/11. Supported by a 10-piece band, the rapper brought a distinct energy to the show, and made a point to acknowledge the tragedy they were benefiting throughout the night. His performance embraced the spirit of New York.
